    Before buying a sports bra I used to wear 2 bras plus a sturdy shelf-top to keep my boobs in place. It did the job for light impact stuff, but when I started trying to jog and do cardio boxing it didn't hold up, and I tried all sorts, including wrapping fabric around my boobs to hold them down (I'm a 38J so you can see my issue!), but that was just like wearing a corset and I couldn't breathe easily!

    Now I wear a Royce Impact-Free sports bra, they were the only sports bra I could find at the time that went up to a J (they in fact go up to KK I think), and I'm pretty happy with it, no rib smooshing, just lots of support! Having said that I do still wear a soft cup bra underneath to keep the girls in line, but hopefully when they shrink a little in the near future I won't have to anymore, fingers xed! Isn't too pricey either, not sure where you are in the world but it's £24 on Bravissimo atm.

    Rather than spend money on expensive sports bras...here is my cheap trick....

    I wear my regular, underwire, supportive bra under a cheap cotton sports bra - I've found going down one size on that sports bra than my usual size keeps everything nice and snug.
    ^^THIS. I have an amazing UA bra that works wonders - but not with cardio, running, cycling... too much action going on! My other UA bra goes on top of it... those suckers don't move!

    I'm currently in a UK 28H and I swear by the shock absorber level 4. I am a horse rider so they are well tested. They last me ages (compared to normal bras anyway) to boot.

    My favourite was discontinued. It was great as a 40F fitness and kickboxercise instructor it kept everything under control.

    Have a look on the Less Bounce website.... they can filter by activity and have reviews too. I need to find a new one soon, my remaining 2 bras are too big and getting on a bit!

    I'm 12(34)G and I swear by my Berlei Ultimate Performance sports bra (http://www.berlei.com.au/sport-bras/berlei-your-body/extreme-support.html). It just sticks everything to your chest and it's amazing. I've never been able to run or jump before buying this.
    The sizes do only go up to 18(40)E, but I have the 12(34)E and I have no issues with fit at all. In fact, like a previous poster mentioned, I'd recommend going down in cup size to ensure a snug fit.

    I believe it's probably difficult to find Berlei outside of Australia or the UK, but you can find it for a lot cheaper on eBay anyway, which is where I got mine. Lasts for ages too.

    I'm 34C-D post breast reduction surgery (years ago). I find that wearing a full coverage (front and back) sports bra one size too small keeps things in place quite nicely. Essentially a "minimizer" plus "back smoothing" style bra. The brand SassyBax was recommended by my surgeon and is the brand I continue to use. The bras last a couple years despite weekly laundering.

    Another 28H here and YES on Shock Absorber. I've also heard good things about Panache Sports bras.

    I do this as well.... tho have to say, even those bras aren't all that cheap. MUCH cheaper than some of the options above tho (don't know all, but have checked some out).

    I'm a 32 D, which is not quite as large, but I LOVE the moving comfort bras. They are amazing. I don't bounce at all during cross training, running or football, the straps are adjustable and so is the back catch. They support, but do NOT smush. The bras are well worth the $50-$60.

    BRASTOP.COM - I buy most of my bras from there. Good shipping options even for people not in the UK. I wear a Shock Absorber. Expensive but it still fits after going down 3 cups (32GG to 30G).

    I am currently a 30E, I agree with most posters, Moving Comfort Juno bra, is my favorite bra. I have it in 30DD, even though the cup is smaller than my regular size it doesn't have spillage. I waited and waited until I finally saw it somewhere for sale. It rarely goes on sale. I got it for $30 from REI. Second favorite is the Shock Absorber Run Bra ( I have it in 32D ), only because the Juno has some lining to hide the nipples when it's cold and has more of a nice shape to the girls. Whereas the shock absorber really flattens it. I've never tried a regular bra under another sports bra only because I would never want to sweat in my regular bras. It also just sounds uncomfortable. But if it works for you, the keep at it. I suggest these only because I like racer back sports bras. The Juno is really hard to put on at first, but after a while I got used to it and can do it pretty quickly. I tried Moving Comfort Fiona and the Under Armour one, but they aren't racer back styles.I would wait around and search for the nice sports bras to go on sale. It's definitely worth the investment.

    Moving comfort Fiona or Juno are amazing for large chests.

    I do this too!! I cannot find a sports bra that stops the bounce completely. So I wear a good supportive bra and then a Champion sports bra. Works like a charm. The only problem that I've had is chafing under the breasts on very long runs (16 miles or more) especially in warmer weather. I solved this by wearing bandages (ie, two large CVS adhesive pads) under the band.

    amazing thank you guys :) its surprising that at most fitness shops they don't sell sports bras bigger than a 34dd or if it does go to e/f then it goes to 38e/f. will get on the internet and get ordering and let you guys know :)
