    I just bought a Moving Comfort Fiona bra. It's lightweight and fits like a glove. Super supportive!! I wear a regular 36DD, but I ordered a 36D and there is no bounce!

    The best one I have that had the padded straps, very secure and yet it doesn't create the boob pancake was from Walmart.
    Under $20

    I've been wearing sports bras since I was nine and the best one is the shock absorber run! just make sure to get measured properly before you invest.
    It's worth spending money on, you can work out all you want without worrying that they will sag. Just sayin'

    Well I am a cheapskate hehe... I wear a regular bra with a sports bra over it. I have DD's and just a sports bra can not contain my lady lumps.... I'd come home from my runs with black eyes =P

    I am a top heavy runner as well :) Honestly, I haven't wanted to try or invest in an expensive sports bra yet. SO, I wear a full coverage bra with no wires (just my size etc.) and a target/walmart sports bra over it..works great. But, thanks for the leads ladies...

    Good luck with your quest. I have found a couple over the years that work pretty well for a while, then they stretch out of shape and I'm back to the old drawing board. My best long term solution is very simply to wear the sports bra over the top of my underwire support bra.

    I've only been able to find one good one. It's a Champion and was about $65.

    I'm a 32D and just can't find any good ones with enough support and a small enough band.

    Normally I have to go to the specialty bra shops as most places dont have my size. However, I did try the Champion bras once and found them to be alright for low to moderate impact activities.

    If you are A-D, you can get one anywhere.

    If you are larger, a good department store like Nordstrom's or a specialty bra boutique is the way to go. If Nordstrom doesn't have it in the store, they can order it for you.

    In sports bras, I am currently wearing the brand Anita Active, and I cannot recommend it to you enough. It is like my favorite thing in my life. I am size 32H.

    I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum on sports bra needs-- no boobies no problem. I have a sweet victoria's secret one that would probably work for a busty lady too. VSX. You order by regular bra (band and cup) size, which is nice. Great fit and comfort and wider straps that what I usually get. They are about 50, but I'm hoping the quality makes it last as long as their regular bras.

    Same here, except I substitute the second bra with a "one size too small" spandex t-shirt or tank. I buy mine at Walmart. The big honking bras that come in a box with the 3 or 4 hooks in the back, 18 hour, cross-your- heart, pointy madonnaesq nipples (glad that one guy finally left so i can say nipples without blushing). I add the t-shirt or tank to help make the points not-so-pointy. Talk about no bounce! Added bonus? These bras don't give you the "all squished together flattened out across your whole chest" unaboob! Priced below $20 and often around $12 because they are always on markdown!

    Enell - they are pricey, but the 42G's DO NOT move!:laugh:

    Enell Bra's all the way. I'm a 38DDD and I do finess and running with NO BOUNCE in these suckers.

    Tried Moving Comfort and I was sore afterward. Nothing compares to Enell!

    It's an investment that is worth the price. They sell them on Ebay for $40 with defects. A snag here or there supposedly...I have yet to find a defect and I have 3 of them from this method.

    Title Nine! They have different cup sizes and the barbell standard (how supportive they are).

    I wear Moving Comfort as well (though there's not much left to move since I've lost weight!) I sometimes find them pretty cheap at City Sports though it's usually the colors I wouldn't prefer.
