Exercise and large boobs

Thanks everyone - I'm in the UK, so Bravissimo is my 'go-to' bra shop! Also, a UK 28J is (rather embarrassingly) a 28M in the US, and my underbust is 26" with a 42" overbust. I get a fair bit of back pain, and would consider a reduction in the future, but as I'm only 19, my doctor says I should wait until I'm at least 21.0

bit random, but i'm not going to lie. sometimes i wish i had that problem0

Trust me, you really don't, calisunrise. I thought I had it tough with a DD. I've never even heard of JJ! DD is painful enough. Even if I'm just running up the stairs at home, I have to hold my chest. The bouncing is really quite painful. And I get horrible back/shoulder pain. I can't even imagine what the OP is going through.
Plus, you can never buy clothes to fit. I always have to buy dresses to fit my chest, and then get them taken in everywhere else. That can get really expensive. And I always feel like they're suffocating me when I lie down (if not wearing a bra).
It's really not a fun problem to have. I'd totally get a reduction, but the last time I got a quote, it was $11k (more than an enlargement!!), and I just can't justify that.
I'm always jealous of my sister - she got the B cups.0 -
I am 32F and I wear a shock absorber over a normal bra.0

Thank you so much for your supportI'm always holding my chest when I run up the stairs - my family think it's hilarious! x

I'm a G cup and wear 2 bras when exercising - a sports one then a normal one (although I think I might get a good sports crop top to replace the second as I think it'll look better and be more comfy than double underwire!). It really does help - I can even do jumping jacks!0

I'm in the UK too. I find ebay can be quite good if you know exactly what you want, and LessBounce.com is good for sports bras (but not particularly cheap unless you buy the sale bras). The reviews on LessBounce are very useful.
edit ... If your underbust is 26" you might find that for some makes you want to have that as your actual bra size. You'd go up on the cup, so would try a 26JJ or 26K. But I realise that just makes it even more difficult to find bras!0 -

I'm a 32F so I sort of understand your pain
What I end up doing is wearing a full coverage bra that crosses in the back, then a very tight sports bra and then a tight workout shirt. But I still have a lot of bounce. I don't run, but you might try doubling or tripling up on various kinds of bras/supportive tops.
