    I am a size B - I bought my recent sports bras at Target - I feel more comfortable wearing 2 at a time. I can't stand any bounce. I have bought some from other places and still haven't found one that gives me what I want - so I just double them up and it works great!

    Goodwill gets the Target surplus that doesn't sell. I find brand new Champion sports bras at Goodwill pretty regularly. Plus people buy them and then don't wear them so you get brands like Nike with tags still on for like 5.00.

    I like target but I don't have anything there... my sister who is bigger than me wears the victoria secret ones because they have more support, they are a little bit more expensive but it would probably be worth it, you shouldn't have to wear 2, good luck!

    I am a DD, even when I am skinny :( ...one of the goals of losing weight is going to be a reduction but anyway, I have yet to find a good sports bra, so I wear two regular bras and a sports bra over them. One of my daughter's best friends is the same size I am (at 14) and she plays basketball and volleyball, and she taught me that little "trick". I'm not going to lie, it's not the most comfortable solution, but it works.

    I'm a 38D and I got mine at Walmart. It's a Danskin and it seems to control the bounce.

    i understand you and the 14 y.o.'s "problem." as a teen i was a 32 DD and weighed like 110 (even when i weighed less they didn't get smaller). I did have a breast reduction--when i was 18--BEST thing ever.
    Now that I have gotten to my heaviest wt and 3 kids later, the girls are back to a 34D. (can you imagine how huge they'd be if they hadn't been reduced?! ugh!)

    I am expecting they will get small again when i lose the weight as that is what happened after kid #1. :happy: On the plus side, they never sag and probably never will. so highly recommend the surgery when you are ready. you can pm me if you have q's.

    anyway, thanks for the suggestions. i have found my reg bras to be more supportive than the worn out sports bra, but hadn't thought of layering.
    from my online research, i sense that Motion Control brand would be well suited to my needs but they're like $35-40 each. hence, my asking all of you for advice.

    so thanks all for your input. :flowerforyou:

    im a 34 DD and a size four :( It is so hard to find sports bras that fit! I would just buy an expensive one anyway unless you really think your breasts will shrink. Mine never did but I made the mistake in starting out with wearing 2 that were semi supportive. This made me have crazy back problems.
    I found some great ones on ebay. Sports stores have all kinds but can be pricey. :happy:

    these aren't super cheap, but i bought them both after finally deciding to give in and buy good ones i desperately needed! i'm a size D so it's hard for me to find a bra that doesn't crush me but still supports me enough. these are the best i've ever owned :)

    Under Armour, $44.99

    34DD after my breast reduction. We won't even discuss how large I was before!
    I buy the (Champion) C9 brand at Target. About $17 a pop where I live. I can jog in them and bounce is minimal.

    you all are so great! off to do some shopping/trying on, plus that underarmour one lawbug suggested could be a winner, too!
    thank you all for taking the time to respond. :flowerforyou:

    I like the Moving Comfort ones. That's what the local running store here carries. They have great support, and come in your normal bra sizes instead of small, medium, large. Which is nice if you are an unusual size. About $40. Most sports stores carry them, but otherwise you can order from barenecessities.com. (my favorite bra site)

    Hello! I'm new here but came across this topic and was very excited that I did. I have 1 sports bra that I wear but I hate it and being a D cup it smooshes the girls into one big girl. I was just telling my husband that I needed to go out and find a really good sports bra even if it costs more than I want to spend. Thank you for all your suggestions on this topic! Girls gotta stick together (no pun intended)

    Hi,

    I own this one:

    http://www.barenecessities.com/Champion-Powersleek-Wire-free-Sports-Bra_product_Champion1691_,search,.htm

    in two styles. I bought it at JCPenney's though, I think, when they were having a big bra sale (no pun intended!).

    I have DDD/E cups. These bras are GREAT. I highly recommend spending the money on at least two really good ones if your chest is bigger than a D. It can be really painful if you don't!
