    the best sports bra ever ever http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/crosssells/intimates/bras/fullfigurebras/underwire/PRD~147215/Champion+Double+Dry+Distance+Sports+Bra++6209.jsp
    and I am a DD. Very much worth the money. Even while in the Army I never had a sports bra as good as these.
    Good luck

    I'm thinking pics and slow motion video are needed from all the posters. Then we can look into the solution.

    I am a 38DD in normal bras, and I bought a Moving Comfort Maya (or Maia? IDK) bra online for less than 40 dollars. It is the best thing since sliced bread. I would wear 2 cheapy bras before I bought it, and my shoulder/back/neck would KILL me if I ran more than two miles. This bra literally changed my life. And although I took a gamble and bought it online, it seems to be pretty true to its size. It is a BIT on the tighter side but extremely comfortable and it literally lifts weight off your shoulders. If you are interested I'd be more than happy to forward you the name of the Amazon seller I used- they had a huge variety of colors and sizes.

    Check out Athleta.com. Their sports bras come in actual bra sizes and are pretty decent at holding the girls down.

    Honestly I have always just bought cheap bras and gone a size or 2 smaller. It has worked out great for me! (38D)

    Title Nine has a great selection of sports bras sorted by cup size. I'm a 36DD and I use their "last resort" bra when running anything over ten miles. It's kinda like wearing a corset, but it keeps the girls under control.

    I wear an underwire bra and a sports bra/sports top with a built-in bra (both are average Everlast). It's not comfortable, but it works. I've never found a sports bra on it's own that has worked, and this is the best solution for me (though I've never put a sports bra on that was priced over $100). I'm a 36-FF.

    There are like five posts a day about this, there should be a group for big boobs.
    Anyway, wear too or buy one that's a size smaller than you'd normally wear.
    If you don't want uni-boob wear a regular bra under the sports bra.

    I'm a 34D and I love the Champion sports bras. They hook in the back so you don't have to do the over the head thing and nothin's movin' when I have one on. I run 4 miles 3 times a week and a long run of 7 - 10 miles on the weekend.

    Struggled with this my whole life, girls! Always wore two sports bras (sometimes still not enough).

    This is the answer, hands down: I can wear ONLY THIS:

    Try athleta and title9. They are both catalogs but they seem to rate bras realistically. Good luck.

    Did you try on the Moving Comfort "Fiona" It's holds better then their other styles.

    I agree with this. I am a 38dd and this one not only holds these babies down but keeps them from looking like a uniboob as well ;)
    LOVE my Moving Comfort bra... I recommend you go to a specialty shop. (We have Fleet Feet where I am and they were great with the whole fitting/trying on process) And the bra was only $45. I was expecting to spend at least $60

    I need some tips on sports bra shopping. After reading yet another thread on the boards, I decided to finally head to D-I-C-K's Sporting Goods and try some stuff on. I was disappointed that the expensive bras didn't seem to hold me in any better than my uni-over-the-head cheap sports bras :(

    Am I supposed to try on a cup size smaller? A band size smaller? Everyone raves about these brands, but I didn't feel like they did much for me. I got frustrated with the try on process too since someone decided to secure the backs closed with the security tags (morons). In the end, I left empty handed.

    I tried on various styles of Under Armor and Moving Comfort. :( HELP I don't want the girls to be saggy when I'm old lol.

    If it helps at all, I normally wear a 34D in regular bra size. Thank you in advance for any help :)<3

    I am a 38DD and I have found one that really works for me. It is a CHAMPION. I got mine at a Hanes/Leggs/Bali/Playtex Outlet shop. I LOVE IT!!! They can be a bit pricey but, they have sales all the time and they are WELL worth it!!
