Hi ladies! (and boys... @_@)
I need a very good sport bra. I've a 38DD and, as you can guess, my boobs usually hurt very much during workouts which include jumping and even running. I stopped running cause I really had to stop because of my boobs!!
Any advice? I can buy it on ebay but I need to find it in Europe, cause buying from US is really expensive.

    Moving Comfort, Enell, Shock Absorber and Freya are generally considered really good brands for larger sizes. I just tried some Anita bras and I love them as well. Also, I think Freya and Shock Absorber are European brands.

    I have a tight moving comfort bra, my size is similar to yours and I absolutly love that bra.
    It holds everything in place even while running.
    There are different types. You should go to a store, where they advise you and you can try them on.

    I'm a 38DD also and I've just gone to wearing 2 sport bras, it's effective although it's also warm.

    I've heard good things about Moving Comfort, but haven't worn them.

    I absolutely love the Adidas TechFit bras. I am a 36DD and they are my absolute favorites, hands down!

    What do you think about the Nike ones? Just because I can go to that shop.
    Moving comfort ones seem great, even if I'd have to pay the shipping so it's going to be a little to expensive.

    Shock absorber do levels in terms of how supportive they are, so you can get a level 4 sports bra which is pretty good. I'm a 38E/F so I wear a normal bra underneath with my shock absorber and my breasts do not go anywhere, even when I run!

    Amazon do them for about £20 as well :)

    hi,
    personally, i wouldn't buy online! they can be very different, so i'd definitely suggest going to a sports shop and try them on.

    I love my Moving Comfort Sports Bra. It was $50, so I only bought one and I was it almost everyday and hang it dry. It still looks great.

    I have only had two proper sports bras in my life. The one I currently use and RAVE about is Fiona by Moving Comfort. I, too, can't just go to a store to buy, but at least I am in North America. I found one on Amazon.com or Amazon.ca and depending on the colour, the prices really varied. I bought a black one to try (in my regular size, make sure you measure) and I love it. I really should buy more, but my exercise pattern (and therefore my need) is iffy! It hasn't seemed to wear out yet by wearing or washing. Lastly, to avoid the band-curl effect that some wireless bras have, I sometimes wear it inside-out. When I wear it, it makes me feel skinny! I feel and look like the girls on TV and in the pictures!

    My go to bras are Shock Absorber and Moving Comfort. I've heard good things about the TaTa Tamer and will probably try one next time I need a new sports bra. I love anything that fastens like a regular bra and I don't have to wrestle out of when I'm tired and sweaty post workout!

    when you buy your first sport Bra do it in a shop...

    Most times they are more expensive there, but once you found one that suits you best (and trust me, sometimes you have to try one 5 before you find the ONE for you), you can search on the internet to get them cheaper!
    At least that was working best for me.
    Plus they help you find the good size, if you are not sure.

    The grass is always greener on the other side :( Are you going up to a DD? I wish I could get a reduction -_-

    Anyway, I just bought this one, and IMO, it's the holy mother of sports bras. Easily the best I've ever had http://www.championusa.com/workout-clothes/sports-bras-43553--1/view-all-sports-bras/champion-double-dry-spot-comfort-full-support-sports-bra?cm_vc=OSSZ1

    DD? Oh, heck no. Probably end up with a large C or a D. Grass is greener? Possibly... but I've had 10 years to think this through :D

    I am a 32FF, My favourites are the shock absorbers, You can get them at debenhams.
    I also have a really nice one from Marks and Spencers that zips up the front.

    Personally, I always always wear two sports bras on top of each other. Zero movement. :)

    I'm a 36GG and find Freya really good and supportive, Bravissimo stock them, I'm sure if you google plenty of other places do too.

    I have 36JJ. Bra shopping was a traumatic experience for me. I found a boutique that specialized in larger chested women and got properly fitted. Most women are wearing the wrong size bra. That would be my first recommendation. Make sure you are properly sized, and not by someone that usually works the cash register.

    Once you have your correct size you can go to herroom.com. I order my sports bras from them. The only issue I've found is the underwire sports bras have caused some serious chafing this summer. But I live in Virginia and the humidity is oppressive and the heat was insane. It was pretty uncomfortable during my longer runs.

    Best of luck - gotta take care of the girls.
