    Under Armor and Moving Comfort for sure - I'm a DD and investing in a good sports bra is a definite must!! The band should be tight but be careful that it's not TOO tight to the point where you have trouble breathing during intense cardio and/or get back pain

    I'm a 36DDD--I love my Enell bra for high impact--people don't yell "get a bra!" out there car windows at me anymore (I was wearing 3 at the time).


    I love my Enell!

    I have a friend that wears two sports bras when she's running.

    I wear 2 also.

    Yet many of the ladies that have posted have given me some good suggestions that I sure can benefit from.

    I love my Enell bra! I used to wear 2-3 bras while taking Zumba classes, but then I got the Enell when I became an instructor. Its a little on the pricey side, but well worth it!

    A good sports bra will prevent pain from bouncing etc. I am a 36 D. I love my compression bra.

    I am a 36DD (E sometimes, depending on the brand) as well, and jumping jacks/running or any kind of work out was brutal. I ended up buying a Tata Tamer II (lululemon) - well worth the $58. They also offer the band/cup sizes, which is really helpful, so you can try them on and do some jumping in the changeroom to see how you feel.

    I thought I hated bootcamp, turns out it was all my girls - they did not enjoy the bouncing - now I look forward to my Monday's workout.

    Good luck :smile:

    Try moving comfort...theirs are AMAZING...I have 3 of their fiona style and they're worth every penny!

    Agree. Moving Comfort Fionas are the best bras ever.


    Not to mention they come in cute colors. I have a few Fiona bras and love them.

    They are meant to keep them from bouncing.

    With DDs myself I feel your pain, I recently bought my first sports bra, it is Under Armour. It had cup and band size options which not all sports bras have. I love it, I got it at D1cks sporting goods, it was about $50 and worth every penny. It sounds like the one you bought might be too big.

    I probably got the same one in DD, also at ****'s. It zips up the front, so it makes it very easy to get into. Pricey, but totally worth it.

    Oh hey almost boob sister. I'm a 28H/30GG and swear by Shock Absorber. Most of the regular store brands don't do sub 32 bands.

    This.... I wear two as I refuse to be a scary scene. I would buy the UnderArmour but I know I'm losing there first and I don't want to have to keep buying $57 bras each month. (I know, I'm cheap) so I wear two champions in the meantime. It works.

    The underarmour sports bras are the ONLY way to go. They almost never go on sale, but they are worth the $50 investment. I teach zumba and need something to help with the bouncing! They are the perfect amount of support and still comfortable.

    I ended up going to a lingere shop to find a good sports bra. It is amazing, more pricey ($100) but well worth it. Barely any bounce, and it does 'squish' a bit but nothing uncomfortable.

    I'm at 34 G. I have to wear a bra and then a sports bra over. Sucks. Still looking for a good one.

    34DD (actually 33 DD at last measurement, curse my weird in-between size) and another vote for Under Armour. I love love LOVED the Endure (zip front), but the discontinued it, and the Protege (the new model) is just not as good. I got an Armour Bra in 32D, and it is good (just wore it for a 12 mile run). I also have a Moving Comfort, and its good for cross training or shorter runs, but for any sort of distance, I stick with UA.

    I've heard a lot of good things about the Shock Absorber, but it actually didn't work for me. I'm a 30F, and I bought the Panache sports bra at the same time, and I'm planning on getting another two of those. It's the best sports bra I've ever put on. http://www.figleaves.com/us/product/PA-5021/Panache-Sports-Bra/?size=&colour=Greys. Figleaves and Bravissimo are both spectacular bra stores if you have a size outside of the "normal" range.

    34H or so here:

    Shock Absorber and Freya are my current winners. I hear Panache is great as well, but I haven't splurged yet.

    ALso check amazon.

    It is best to get a bra sized one, especially if you have a big differential in between your underbust size and the full chest

    And also, make sure you are sized properly. Many women are in the wrong bra size, and many women are in the wrong band/cup combo. If you want to do a quick sanity check, measure underneath your breasts. If this number isn't close to the band you are wearing, you are in the wrong size. Most people will wear a band within 1-2 inches of this number. If you are 5 inches off, you are probably not getting enough support. This is compounded if you have larger breasts, since 80% of the support should come from the band not the straps. If your breasts are lighter or smaller, it won't be as annoying for you.

    I can sympathize with you. I'm triple D and I just got a good one at Lane Bryant. To date, it's the BEST one I've worn but being this big it's hard for them to not move however I can totally tell the difference wearing their sports bra vs. a reg bra. Good luck on your hunt!

    I like the looks of this one, do I buy the size I am in or smaller?

    I am 34DD and my favorite bra is Champion Spot Comfort High Support, but I had to buy 36D, it fit me better than 34DD, 34DD was too small. The second favorite is Under Armour, but Champion fits me much better. A lot of women praise Moving Compfort, I tried it at the store and found horrible (way too much padding).

    Ok...if you were a man asking this it would make more sense.

    Sports bra- to support the boobies from bouncing in your face or slapping your stomach depending on size.

    I'm your same size and I got tired of wearing a bra then a sports bra on top so just invested in some Moving Comfort bras. I tried them on first at REI and then ordered them online in my size. I love them! No bouncing whatsoever! Can't recommend them enough!

    I got 5 different styles and none of them have padding?

    a good sports bra is meant to keep the ladies still. if they are bouncing you need to get a better bra.

    for me (36C) I find when my boobs are squished a little they don't budge when I run

    Yup

    I'm new here and just happened across this post, so I thought I'd reply. I'm a 40DDD and had a heck of a time trying to find a bra that not only fit, but didn't look hideous in the process of keeping the girls under control. lol I ran across a few at Lane Bryant, and have't looked back since. They're attractive bras, and you have a choice between front-close, racerback, underwire, etc. They seem to fit true to size, and they're incredibly comfortable. It's worth checking out, especially right now, with a big sale going on. I'm not going to lie, though; they're not cheap, but no really good bra is, I suppose. :laugh:

    If you're boobs are still bouncing then you probably have a very cheap sports bra. A sports bra is supposed to keep them from bouncing, provide support and make your workout more comfortable. Deffinitly invest in good one. Also, perhaps you can put your sports bra over your bra, for now, for more support. I buy mine at Tj Max, Ross or Marshalls, good brands at discounted prices.

    I want to know what kind have padding. It would be nice to just have one sports bra that doesnt let the world know when I am cold. Lol
