    The VSX Victoria secret incredible sports bra is my new favorite thing ever!!! They come in a variety of larger cups sizes and pretty colors with no uni-boob. I also like under armor.

    I have several Shock Absorber bras and a couple of the Panache variety. I'm not as large-chested as I used to be when I was overweight, but I still find that Shock Absorbers are great for high-impact. They're very comfortable and supportive. No sore shoulders. The only issue I have with them is the straps coming undone. I've resorted to taping them together in the size I need, because they work themselves loose over time.
    They work more like a traditional all-in-one sports bra, and just jam everything into place, with full boob coverage. It feels a bit like binding. You do get uni-boob, but who cares if nothing bounces?

    If you're very large-chested, get the D+, which is even better... but it doesn't come in my size any more. It has an underwire but it's superbly padded.

    Panache is better for low-impact, in my opinion. Unlike the Shock Absorber the straps at the back cannot be undone, so that's an all-round plus, but it has underwiring and I find that really uncomfortable when I'm running or doing anything that causes a lot of movement for a long period of time.

    You might also find a little bit of comfort in a compression t-shirt over your sports bra.

    If you have a little money to spend, Modern Comfort has some great ones. I have the Maia and I love it...it cost me approx $55.00.

    I've heard of something called Davpul.
    Extremely supportive of larger chested women.

    He is not alone in that endeavor.

    I'm a 44DDD and I've never actually owned a sports bra before. I've just worn a regular underwire bra with a compression tank top and a second tank top over top, my sister is also large chested (38DDD) and she wears an underwire bra with a really not good sports bra over top.

    However, we just ordered new sports bras from Lane Bryant, and we both ended up choosing the sport by Cacique convertible underwire bra. I can't wait for them to be delivered!

    Good luck finding something suitable for your needs :-)

    Back when I had big boobs, I used the Moving Comfort Fiona sports bra. It is a great sports bra. You can get it on Amazon :smile:

    Only bra I can run in without giving myself two black eyes. I LOVE this bra.

    Same here - Moving Comfort Fiona or Maia. They're a bit pricey, but I have been able to find them on sale from time to time. Even at full price they are worth it!

    Chiming in to throw in support (haha) for the Panache sports bras! I have two of them, and they give such great shape and support that I actually wear them more often than my regular bras. I seriously love this bra.

    I have black and aqua-lime and bought it at Bravissimo: http://www.bravissimo.com/products/sale/lingerie/sports-bras/panache-sports-bra/aqua-lime/pr100alm/?

    You can try wearing two at a time and see if that helps

    I had such an awful time finding a sports bra, but I did! Essential Bodywear (http://www.essentialbodywear.com/) has representatives that work with you to help you find a bra. I still have to customize it a bit, but since I'm an odd size (38N), I was just glad to find one to fit.
