Hi ladies, just wanted to know what sports bra everyone wears. I'm currently wearing champion but have been told great things about the shock absorber. I need a full support bra, any suggestions?

    Runner's World has had some great articles on sports bras about everything from finding the perfect fit, care, and reviews from runners. Check out some of their articles.

    New Balance has a great full-figure bra; especially for fast walking and running. Movement is kept to a minimum, but it doesn't constrict you. It also allows for you to lose weight and tighten it up form the shoulders and through the back without disturbing the overshirt look.

    I swear by shock absorber! They have held me in while running, doing boot camp, boxing, kickboxing, and other exercises involving a lot of movement. I love their bras!

    I use an Old Navy sports bra, although it doesn't bother me and my tiny boobs, I would not recommend it to someone who needs a lot of support. I figured what doesn't work may help too.

    there was another post where lots of people recommended Enell. I just got my first one and it's great for high impact activities. I plan on buying a couple more. It does feel a little constricting at first but you get used to it.

    I have some FOTL medium and high impact, and one very heavy Danskin one that has great full-support for those really bouncy workouts. :smile:

    One word - ENELL. If you've got some boobies and you hate the bounce this bra is for you. They're crazy expensive but you can find them on Ebay for $35.00. TOTALLLLY worth it. I've been wanting one for a while and finally broke down and got it because i HATE wearing two sports bras. I'm a 34 D implants and this bra is NO joke. There is NO movement at all.....not even a jiggle. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.

    Running used to bug me because of the jiggle but not anymore!

    Aren't they great? I love mine too! I have to buy a new one probably in the next 10 lbs because my chest is shrinking! :laugh: Thank goodness the one I got was super adjustable, so it still holds me in well for now. :smile:

    Savystephy, the newest model just came out here, Toronto, Canada. I also just bought the RoadID after reading about it in your profile. Thanks.

    You're very welcome! Can't be safe enough when you're out there. I have a RoadID Interactive because I move around so much (student, young professional). I love it. It makes me relax a little more while running on the roads.

    I will have to look out for the newest shock absorber model for my next bra! :tongue:
