    Have you looked at Bravissimo? They specialise in larger breast sizes and the back sizes start at 28. I am a G and can recommend the Max Sports Bra and Freya Active Underwired Bra (both are available through many other online shops too).

    The Max Sports Bra looks good as a top on its own but I am not slim enough to pull that off. With the pretty colours its a pretty sports bra too. Freya underwired not so pretty but is fantastic for running. Everything stays in place and no bounce issues.

    In the UK, I've made good experience with

    - Marks and Spencer "high impact" sports bra line (I have 2 38 F and 1 36 G)
    - Triumph sports bra bought online at John Lewis

    Bravissimo is worth a check, but I haven't had an opportunity yet.

    I have the same problem! I'm 5'4" and a 32G and it's quite painful for me to jog, jump, or anything similar. I've talked to the owner of the specialty bra shop that I buy my bras at and she recommended the sports bra line from Freya. I own two normal Freya bras and they're pretty comfy, so I've been thinking about ordering one of their sports bras to see what they're like. They aren't super pretty, but if you're just wearing them for working out, who cares?

    Here's the link for their bras: http://www.freyalingerie.com/active.aspx

    I hope this helps! :)

    You need to try on many different sports bras. In the dressing room do jumps and stuff u would do. You will know when you find a good one. For now try to hold them while you exercise. I know it's a pain but that's what I had to do before getting a good sports bra.

    Glad I found this thread - I'm a DD/E and I was thinking tonight while I was doing the stairclimber....Dang it!! These things are gonna give me black eyes!! lol. And we live around some uppity people, so holding the puppies down with the hands gets some not very nice looks. heehee. So I'm DEF going to check out some of these bras!

    I'm a G-cup in the UK and I wear Freya sports bras for playing netball which involves a lot of jumping. There is a website that only sells sports bras called lessbounce.com I've used them in the past, they're probably your best bet.

    Enell. Enell, Enell....It's one of the best sports bras out there! It's endorsed I think by the "Biggest Loser" and it's Ophra's favorite bra! I got mine yesterday and I really like it alot, it's so comfortable and holds everything in place, no bounce! www.ladiesonlysports.com, $62 with a $2.00 off coupon code from the site and free shipping! It's definately worth the investment. Good luck.

    Enell sizes seem pretty small. The bust size only goes up to an E cup. Back sizes look very generous but its a big shame the cup sizes are so small. I had heard good things about them.

    Don't bother with trying a smaller bra size - they will just squeeze out the bottom and top and sides!! And , it won't hold them down much better.

    I swear by Shock Absorber High Impact Sports bras - I'm a 34E and have no problems when I go out running.

    The M&S sports bras don't seem to give me enough support (I bounce around a bit), but I use them for yoga/weights.
