I'm not usually much of a runner and stick to my gym machines but now that the weathers been getting nicer ive been going for runs around the block once in a while to switch things up. My only problem is I have to physically hold my boobs to run comfortably?? I do wear a regular bra and a sports bra over it but it doesnt seem to do it for me....Should I just add a 2nd sports bra? Do I need one with more compression or something?

I used to wear two sports bra and a performance tank top, I found a really good bra at Old Navy so now I'm solid0

36HH here and I use panache. enell is also good as well.0

How big?
I've had bigguns forever and the best never-bounce bra I've ever had was an Enell. They are expensive. They seriously mash you down, but you won't jiggle. At all.0 -
Spend the money on a good sports bra! I have an under armor sports bra and love it! It was expensive (like 50 bucks) but I wear it a lot and just wash it a lot haha.. Ps. I am a C cup (was a D not too long ago)0

I used to buy expensive sports bras from Lucy but found that a regular one that is snug (you can get them at Costco) provides plenty of support. However there is that uniboob problem. I just try to ignore it. I once read a really funny line by Dolly Parton about running and big boobs. She said she can't be a runner or she'd get two black eyes. Glad someone has a sense of humor about it!0

Wear a regular sports bra, then on top of that, get a body armor sports bra (zips in front, black, cross straps, heavy duty). I'm an E and haven't had any issues with it. Worth the money for the girls.
(I am wearing the body armor bra in my profile pic, notice the lack of uniboob)0 -
Two bras. Two. One to smash them down and hold them super tight, and one over the top to press it down even more. You will be so glad you did! Try them on. I have cheap, I have expensive, I find some of the cheap ones are best for the bottom smash them down layer. LOL!0

Another vote for an Enell bra. It was worth every penny because it really works. Nothing else I tried on did.0

I have the maximum support sports bra from VS and absolutely love it! I have a yoga shirt with a 'built in bra' in it that I wear over my sports bra, but that bra has made a world of difference!0

Get a GOOD sports bra. I wince for you!0

Get a size smaller than you would with a normal bra. Works like a dream, I promise.0 -
Enell Sports Bra all the way. It is worth every penny. I'm triple D and have not found anything in my size that comes close to the stability.0

do smaller chested women need enell too? or is a regular sportsbra enough? i feel comfortable in a regular sportsbra, though there is still some bouncing0

I wear a 36J and am interested in trying the bras you mentioned. Can you tell me where to find them in such a large size, since my research hasn't found any bigger than DDD. Thank you.

I wear a regular bra under a sports bra.. IMO, if you are 36B and up, you should be protecting your girls well when you run0

Enells are sized strangely. I found mine at a specialty bra store. Go on their website and find a location near you. The store I went to had other sports bras, but when I did jumping jacks in the dressing room, the Enell was the only one that kept me from bouncing uncomfortably.0 -
Enell. Was 36DDD at my largest. No jiggling whatsoever.

Yeah Enell's are Size 1, 2, 3, etc. There is a good size chart on their site.0

Moving Comfort. Regular bra smushed into a sports bra was miserable and was giving me a rash, so I asked on here and someone said Moving Comfort. Best investment ever. They are comfortable, provide awesome support, and as an added bonus, they are rather cute. I highly suggest them. Huge fan of the Fiona bra.0

Smaller women can't get Enell ..... I've tried.
I hate the bouncing ...... I wear two (inexpensive) bras .... or Nike makes a good sports bra for us smaller ladies. Not all bras labeled "high-impact" .... are as advertised ..... you really need to "test" them out in the dressing room.0 -
No reason to wear a sports bra if you're wearing a regular bra underneath. Get a GOOD sports bra. Sounds like Enell is good for the well-endowed. For the rest of us...well, I found a Champion bra at Target that works well for me. Keep shopping and trying things on til you find one that works.0

try amazon or ebay.
the thing with enell is that they fit a range of rib and cup sizes, which works out well until you get to the stage where you have a lots of cup and little ribcage.the last size i bought in enell was a 2 but there's too much friction in the underboob so i'm using that bra for low impact exercises since there's too much movement in the ribcage for higher impact things.
to be fair though, it is good for QUICK high impact stuff but after my long 60 minute runs, i had far too much cut skin. :sad:0 -
Putting my vote in for Ennell as well. I'm even bigger right now because I am nursing and they do not budge in this thing. Now I just need an Ennell girdle for my mummy tummy to stay in place.0

Another vote for Panache! I bought one a while ago and the friend I was shopping with said it looked like I was wearing a regular bra when I put a shirt on over it. It's very comfortable and I love that you can make it a racerback. I switched to using it that way once I lost enough weight that it wasn't fitting as well. I run with it on several times a week and have been really happy with the lack of bouncing.
The only thing that surprised me was the amount of wicking it does. I was wearing a bright top during a really hard workout one day and when I got home, you could see the shape and size of the bra because of the sweat it wicked out to the shirt. lol0
