I'm quite chesty (DDD) and am having trouble finding a sports bra that will fit that is within my price range. All the ones around here are around $89 - $120 before taxes. Can anyone recommend a good one that is around $20 - $45 that will fit and is encapsulation rather than compression? Thanks!

    you can maybe try elomi, or goddess but they might not meet your price requirements . you can also try a regular minimizer bra

    but quite honestly finding a sports bra with those requirements is like finding a 4 leaf clover

    I like the MIA by Moving Comfort. I can find them on sierratradingpost.com from time to time for around $30.

    I've had success with the Enell. It's around $65-70, I think.

    My suggestion....before you spend a load of money...would be to go to Walmart/KMart/Target (you get the picture) and try on what they have. I'd try it on and jump. I know that sounds crazy but at least that way, you'll know how the bra will do under pressure. The worst thing that can happen is that you don't like them and take them off.

    I'm a 32DD and have tried a ton of sports bras in the last two years as I'm a runner. I have never found a single one that worked well and did want I wanted that was under $50. Panache has a great one for about $70, Enell has a good wire free one but I found that I prefer an underwire one that gives me a bit more separation and another favorite is Freya which is an underwire that is about $60. These all have very minimal bounce and are AMAZING sports bras for big chests! (My favorite being Panache)

    I am a 38 DDD. I swear by moving comfort. I trained for and ran a half marathon in one of their bras.

    Enell is amazing. Amazing, I tell you! I have bought two direct from the company and two from eBay...Enell has very high quality standards so if there is one tiny snag which you honestly wouldn't notice, it's packaged to sell for very cheap...I bought two for less than the price of one.

    I cannot praise them enough.

    I have been using the champion 360 max support for years and it gives great support.

    Enell is the best! I have this problem as well, but even bigger. Without the enell sports bras I wouldn't be able to run comfortably at all. They last forever, too, and they are well worht the price!

    Once you find something on line that you want to buy, try looking for it on ebay. You may find it a lot cheaper. Good luck!

    I love the Old Navy compression sports bra I just got, I think it cost $20....worth a shot!!

    I just wear 3 to 4 bras-nothing else has worked for me.

    I'm a 36DD and have used a Victoria's Secret VSX underwire for years. However, i don't think the newer ones are quite as sturdy and effective as the older ones were, but, it's an option.

    I only wear that one when i needs some HOLY **** support, but it's survived some fairly extreme situations such as Tae Kwon Do belt testings and tournaments.

    I am a 38-40DD and I usually go with the High Impact Champions at Target. I usually buy at 38C though. I may spill out the sides a bit but I am not bouncing at all when I run.

    I LOVE the Anita active medium control sports bra. It is in the $60 range. Once I got it I stopped having the back pain I was experiencing from sub par sports bras - I am a 38 G.

    I also have the Wirefree no-bounce camisole bra from Glamorise Sport and it was around $40. It is decent but not as supportive.

    I just got the above. It's made by Glamorise. I'm a 46F(DDD). It fit well and kept everything in place the way it should be. I'm still getting use to it, but I think for the price I might get one or two more. Comes in several colours but the white ones are the least expensive.

    Mine was $18.61. Free shipping since I got it with a few other things I needed.

    Try Title Nine online and check out the 4 barbell styles. The 5 barbell choices are just a little TOO much, I think, I've tried a couple and just didn't like them much. I typically use the "Booby Trap", haha, and find it works great for at home for workouts with jumping. It's definitely a little bit of a compressing bra, but not too bad. For running, I prefer the Champion bras from Sports Authority. I'm not sure the model, but they have adjustable straps (with velcro), regular straps (not t-back or anything), two hook closure and a snap that connects the extra length of strap in the back to the back of the bra. They are not pretty, very utilitarian, but are great running bras, and I would call them more encapsulation than compression. I've had three that I've used for more years than I can recall and they are still in terrific shape.

    Hi, I am a 38DD and I use a Champion sports bra, but I don't know the model name. It has adjustable straps and it hooks in the back with 3 hooks and a snap. Amazon has them in your price range with reviews. I have had mine for a couple of years and I bought two at the same time and I alternate. They're still going strong. I work out between 3 to 5 days a week. To give you an idea of what I put them thru I run, I do zumba, I weight train and I do circuit training. I bit of everything lol
    I hope you can find something that works for you, I know the pain (literally) of working out in a bra that is not supportive enough.

    I wear Champions all the time. Size DD. Make sure to get the underwire, thicker material, no frills just plain with eyes that attach like a bra. The underwire helps believe me and I don't bounce. I have a champion I bought and don't use that has velcro straps and looks more like a summer short top but the velco straps don't stay fastened with exercise. I have had two of my favorites for MANY years. They are sturdy.
