    I'm around the same size as you (36DDD at least) - I just bought an Enell and it's great. Ugly as hell but works - I can't do jumping jacks in any other bra. No padding, no underwire. I got size 3 (their sizing is a little funky) based on cup size (not band size) and it fits very well.

    I'm looking, too!
    I have 3 questions for you all:
    1) which of these are padding-free? I already run far too hot.
    2) I need no freaking underwires! Any reviews on underwire free?
    3) I can no longer find bras that are long enough from shoulder to under breast. Am I the only woman with this problem?
    Thank you all.

    I can answer for Panache brand. All I can say is I love this bra and after years of struggling to find a supportive sports bra for my size, I can't say enough good things about it--I swear I don't work for the company :smile:
    1-it's not padded per se, but the cups are made up of microfiber material that encapsulates each breast--this is a bonus for me because I am normally size 32G and I can't stand boob sweat. I have worn them throughout my pregnancy for working out (and I am a super sweaty lady now that I'm 8 months and pregnant in the summer!) and find that the wicking material in this bra really does work.
    2-They come in both underwire and non-underwire. I prefer to have underwire in general for all my bras but have worn the non-underwire style during my pregnancy. Both are equally supportive.
    3-I am just over 5'8" with a long torso. I have found the Panache bra to have very adjustable straps. I also struggle to find bras with straps that don't have their "circle hooks" digging into my shoulders. You can also elect to make it a racer-bra style if you prefer. I wear mine this way and I still have enough strap length to fit the length of my torso and bust.

    Shock Absorber - no padding, no underwire. I cannot comment on the length, but can say there are adjustable areas to make it longer.

    I LOVE Lane Bryant's high impact sports bras, but they have the underwire. They're the first sports bra where I didn't feel squished, was supported, comfortable, breathable. Thick straps, enough clasps. I just dig on them. They have some underwire free but I stay away from that because I just hate it.
