I am a big busted girl and often have a hard time with cardio workout being too uncomfortable if they have lots of jumping or bouncing movements. I would love some suggestions for a supportive sports bra.

    I honestly have not found a great one. I improvise my wearing a regular bra under my sports bra.

    or two sports bras - a friend of mine does that and says it's the only way!

    Thanks for the suggestion. I wear a camisole with a built in shelf bra over my regular one when I workout, but since I am a F cup it still isn't supportive enough.

    The Enell sports bra is good for larger busted girls - they absolutely will not move!! The bra is pricey - $50 - and not pretty (in fact, it looks like an upper body corset), but I promise there will be no bounce!

    Bravissimo.....Bravissimo......Bravissimo (www.bravissimo.com)

    That is the only place that I get my sport bras and I'm a 34F in a sport bra (32G in a reg everyday bra). I wear the Shock Absorber one and love it. Yes you will pay a little extra to get it to the US from the UK but for me it's worth it. If you wash it on a delicate wash and air dry they will last quite a while. This is the one that I like (I have it in both the white and the black)........

    That's why I get the one from Bravissimo.....it's kinda cute and definitely does the job. All Bravissimo's bras are cute......even the ones that go up to a J cup!!!!

    I personally wear 2 sports bras. I buy a set of 3 from Wal-Mart (3 for $9.99) in a size or two smaller and another set that is the correct size....wear the larger one over the smaller one. It compresses everything and keeps the girls from bouncing around! ;)
  • I wear two sports bras, a tight tank top, and a tshirt over that.

    Its actually bad to wear two sports bras. It compresses the breast tissue and actually causes more damage. You actually want a sports bra that has two defined cups and not a typical compression type bra that does the whole "uniboob" thing. I have had great luck with Freya actives underwire sports bra and also Anita's high impact sports bra. Anita's is wirefree if you do not like underwire in your sports bra. I thought that I would hate the underwire but its really great. These bra's are more spendy but definitely worth it to protect your tissue from permanent damage.

    Moving Comfort gets excellent reviews. I tried to buy the Fiona at Nordtsroms but they don't carry it in the store.

    Here is the Fiona.

    I was going thru the mall and found a store and said "why not go in." Well I went in and found a bra. It is a Soma (Kristina is the name of mine. 40DD).

    I tried that. They do not come big enough for me.

    The Soma Bra does have an underwire.

    The elliptical is my bff in cardio workouts. The way my body moves on it gives me a great burn, but doesnt send the ladies flying all over the gym.

    Personally, I wear a regular bra, along with a shorts bra. Ive often wanted to just used duct tape :tongue:
