    Before I lost weight I used to wear two sports bras and was pretty comfortable with it. I used to be on a volleyball team with a girl who wore 5 sports bras at a time! lol She was big girl on top.

    If you are a C cup or above you should really be in an underwire sports bra. They have clasps in the back like a regular bra and are much more supportive than the elastic, uni-boob ones. Do you have a running store in your area? Someone will help give you a proper fitting.

    I wear a regular bra under a sports bra. If i wear just the sports bra I will be rocking a uni-boob that bounces all over the place. :wink:

    LOL!! Me too!!! :laugh:
    This is what I do as well!

    I get mine at JCP... Sorry for the long *kitten* link, but here it is...
    There are a couple other good ones Bali makes as well...

    I got this in a G cup, and it is great, NOTHING moves. Except since working out for a couple of months I am no longer a G cup. I think I need to get a new one in an E

    I'm on my second shock absorber (www.shockabsorber.co.uk). The first one was pretty good (support level 4, for running) and the one I use now (the Ultimate Run Bra) is even better: I feel positively boobless while running these days! (I'm a 32D.)

    I wish the Moving Comfort came in cup sizes bigger than DDD/E. I wear an Elomi Energise with a Shock Absorber D+ on top and it works really well for running. I'm about 36F.

    I feel the need to wear a thinner regular bra inside a sturdier sports bra during running/jogging activities which often leaves me feeling uncomfortable. Have any other well endowed women on the forums figured out a really good sports bra for a C-cup and over? How do you manage support while running?

    While I don't run, I do use the elliptical machine at a pretty quick pace, which causes a lot of bouncing (I'm a 36 D depending on the brand if it helps,) and I most certainly wear a sports bra over my normal bra when working out because other wise, they're hitting me in the face.

    I usually go with the generic sports bras made by fruit of the loom as the straps are thick, and it's enough to cover up my initial bra. I get very minimal bounce this way.

    Here is a link to a pic of one so you can get an idea. Any alternative to this though would be welcome - I hate how much it makes me sweat, and with all that coverage there I'm worried I'll lose some cup sizes as I lose weight - and I really don't want smaller ones; I like them as they are.

    Before my t!ts up and abandoned me, I had to double bag 'em for all cardio and found they looked a lot better with a soft cup bra (to avoid the dreaded uni-boob) underneath a regular sports bra. So I've kept it up, even though I look like a boy now. *sigh*

    I recommend buying a hideous looking old fashioned British bra called Doreen made by Triumph. This thing has been around since they made Spitfires (probably designed by the same guy) It's absolutely bomb proof just don't look when you are putting it on!
    Good luck
    :-)
    If you are going to get a Doreen buy one that's a back size and a cup size smaller than you would usually wear.

    I've had to double-up on lighter weight sports bras. I found a supportive one at Target (C9 I believe?) that is great on its own- but I can't seem to find it :( After seeing so many suggestions for Moving Comfort, I ordered a few to try. They're expensive, but you can typically find them cheaper online (Amazon, 6pm.com, Sierra Trading Post). I'll report back once they come in.
