    I am a 38DD as well and I know you are looking for affordable... but to be healthy and comfortable you have to spend money on them. If you get a good one it will last you awhile. I have two VSX sports bras that work fairly well and I wear a cheap wal mart one underneath them. I also have two Addidas ones and love them! (also wear the cheap wal mart ones under those too). Make sure you look for the ones that are made for high impact... anything less and you will feel it after the run/ workout. If you look for coupons you can usually get them at D*cks for around $45. Good luck!

    ETA: My cheap wal mart ones are also sports bras.. no underwire!

    I use two bras. A normal underwire bra and a sports bra that is one size too small. Holds em tight in place- no jiggle. Occasionally I will have trouble with chafing underneath my boobs and I use body glide to deal with that. I get my sports bras at the running store and they cost about 54 bucks. I need the one that does up at the back, not the racer type as I cannot get those kinds on.

    Just go to a store that sells sports bras and try them on. Jump up and down in the change room to make sure there is not a lot of movement.

    ^ this!! I wear two at a time (cheap ones too). The first one has soft formed cups to shape and keep from the dreaded UNIBOOB, then the second one is just a regular Nike sports bra, one size smaller. They don't budge and they look awesome, if I do say so myself!

    I'd post a pic but the mods would just delete it :grumble:

    hey! i have the same problem 36dd :/ and bad ankles. When i got into running it was hard finding a good sports bra (and shoes). Champion makes my favorite now though, their compression bras are great and they have others for higher impact if that one doesnt do the trick. You can find their compression bras at target for around 15 bucks though so they arent overly expensive. :] hope this helps!

    Another vote for double bra. A regular underwire and a compression type sports bra on top. I wear old getting-to-be-grungy bras underneath, and the plain old compression bras on top don't seem to get too worn out.

    I'm one of the few whose bra size doesn't change by much when I gain/lose weight, so I have a ton of old bras that still fit for this purpose. If I was changing sizes rapidly, I would probably still stick with the same program, and just buy one or two cheap bras underneath, and a smaller size compression bra should last you through a couple size changes.

    I may invest in a couple good sports bras when I get to my goal weight, though.

    I tend to just get the target champion bra in the smallest size I can fit into (currently I have medium and large) and take the squishing/uniboob because I'm cheap about clothes.

    It works well enough for me (DD or DDD) but I'm probably going for a lower level of support than you are? I'm fine without a bra at all for walking and sometimes dancing, only really need one for jogging/running.

    I am a 38-40G....I have yet to find a sports bra that does much of anything for me. I tend to wear a non-underwire bra along with 2 sports bras....yeah, lots of fun! :laugh:

    I have DD's too and I use one from target that was 17 dollars and then I wear a tight compression top with a built in bra over that. I barely move.

    Yeeeah...you're going to have to shell out some cash.

    I've got 40 D's and they HURT. They are too large for my frame, so yeah. I used a La Senza sports bra for a while, but they just wore out too quickly.

    Lululemon ta-ta tamers are the BEST!!!!! =D =D =D My boobs stay still and I have had the best workouts EVER without my breasts hurting. They. Are. Awesome.

    I am a 40 DD and let me tell you where I found one that makes me look flat chested and my boobs DO NOT move. It's awesome. Lane Bryant. Seriously they have the best sports bras ever. Get the size top that you usually wear and that should work! Honestly I have never had a better bra!
    The link for the one I have is below. they're on sale now too!

    I have fairly large breasts and the sports bra i use is made by Under Armor and its labeled for high impact. I got mine at ****s or Sports Authority and i paid about 45-50 bucks and it has lasted me over 2 years. Another good feature that sold me is that it zipper closes in the front and criss cross in back. Otherwise i cant get them off. This has been the easiest i found for large boobs and good suppport. My boobs barely move now.

    ^^^That sounds exactly like the bra I bought 2 years ago. Under Armor, zippered front, racer back. I was a 38DDD and bought an XL. I'm still wearing it even though I'm now a 34DDD, and it's still keeping the girls in control even when I jog or run. I've tried to go back to buy a Large now that I've lost the back fat, but they are always out of that style in that size. I highly recommend that bra!

    42DD here. I like Moving Comfort bras ($40-$50 range) Went to Fleet Feet today and got measured then tried on several styles. Moving Comfort was most comfy with best support. I had one a while ago but I'm bigger now and need the High Impact support even more now. Best advice is get measured and then try on several and give them the bounce test.

    Here's one more vote for the UnderArmour zip-up high-impact! I'm a 32DD, and even finding normal bras that are supportive enough in my size is difficult. I paid around $50 for mine about a year and a half ago and it's still going strong! =D
