    I just discovered that an older (and smaller sports bra) worked better than my normal sized sports bra.. it was a much tighter fit (still could breathe but tight) ... nothing bounced!!!

    Its been recommended (I asked a while ago on here too :) ) - to find a sports bra that has an additional tight covering over the bra ... better snugger fit!

    Good luck!

    Go to www.title nine.com. They rate their sports bras based on support and are very favorably reviewed....

    As a nice 36 E/F, it can be a bit difficult to find bras in my size. However I tend to go for a size smaller - one that doesn't squeeze the puppies to death but tightens then up nicely.

    I also never go for anything lower than 'high impact', no matter what I'm doing.

    The already mentioned M&S own brand is great, as are Shock Absorbers. (my choice 90% of the time) Besides, my SA bra has nice loops to put my HRM strap through. :)

    A little update for UK ladies,

    I managed to purchase a sports bra for my chunky monkeys last night from Bravissimo.
    They now have a sports bra up to K size in 36 back
    highest back size they do in 40 and in that largest cup size is J

    £30 well spent, I managed to do the jumping jacks on 30day shred which were impossible the night before!

    So I found tonight that if I wear a sports bra over a normal bra, that it reduces bouncing a lot! Has anyone else found a way to reduce bouncing?

    LOL this is exactly what I have been doing in the gym since I had a baby! They need STRAPPING UP! Definitely wearing a tight top to work out in helps as well.

    Hahaha aren't google adds clever! As we speak, there's a Figleaves.com ad on my screen.

    I (Ireland) usually buy from figleaves or bravissimo. Will be reading this thread for some advice also, I was a cup G up until now, but they've shrunk (yay), need to get myself measured first and then I'll be ordering a good sports bra myself

    aha!! I am a 32 GG and I don't run because it nearly kills me to!

    I will try bravissimo and M&S shockabsorber.

    I've just gone onto Less Bounce and ordered a Freya Underwire Sports bra - there seem to be really good reviews from all sorts of sized ladies, so am hoping it will do the job for my (currently) 38E girlies!!!

    I have never yet found a sports bra that stops bouncing so I am keeping my fingers firmly crossed that finally this will be the one! :smile:

    Just back from M&S to try their sports bra and although the size is perfect (YES, I've gone down from 36G to 34F!!), I don't like how they don't separate your breasts IYKWIM, I don't want a "sweaty cleavage", so didn't get them.

    This has been a life long problem for me too! I fix it by doing what most of you do: regular bra + sports bra + exercise top. My problem is that it looks like I have a "uni-boob." I hate that!

    Sorry, no real suggestions, just a vent. It's nice to talk to people that have similar issues (instead of hearing "I wish I had that problem" from friends regarding bathing suits, shirts, bra, etc)

    Meh. Just found out my Freya is out of stock for 7-10 days, so I will just have to keep doing one-armed jumping jacks/skip rope with the other arm across my chest to keep things in place LOL.
