I am sure the first part got all the guys attention but I am really looking for replies from women!

I wear a 36H and am in DESPERATE need of a good sports bra! I have looked on the internet for a couple of days now but everything is $50-60 and I would really like a recommendation if I am spending that much!

Thanks!

    I'm a fan of Moving Comfort. I think I have the Juno style (i would prefer racerback it just happened to be the one i found). I've seen a lot of others in these thread recommend MC as well.

    I am a36F and I got my favorite sports bras at under armor. I have an outlet store right by my house and I only played $20.

    I thought Moving Comfort and Under Armor only went up to DD from their websites... Double checking!

    I'm a 32DD and I wear a Nike High-Impact DriFit sports bra (I'd be considered a size small). I go to a Nike outlet that's about 1hr away from me and stocked up - they are AWESOME and were about $20 on sale. I think the regular price is about $45. Not sure if they would be good for a 36H size but it really squishes you in so it should be okay if you get large or xl!

    You may have to spend that much to get good support. You don't want to cheat yourself by looking for cheaper options. Make a good investment and you will see good results. I don't know of any specific brands but with larger breasted women, you want to make sure your sports bra has form, meaning two separate areas for your two separate breasts. They should have actual cups, unlike what most people think of a traditional sports bra.

    I am willing to spend that much... just want recommendations first! :happy:

    I wear an underwire champion and then a VERY SMALL over the head one over that. I am a 36DDD and I wear an XS racerback over the head kind over my regular bra, the small one is cheap the other ones are medium priced. It's not perfect, but I can jump and jog and what not. I have had super pricey ones, really cheap ones and in the end they are all about the same. Doubling them has been the best thing I have done so far.

    Please don't double bra, it causes damage to breast tissue and affects circulation

    I am a 34FF in the UK which is a 34H in the US and I have some great fitting sports bras from shock absorber and Freya active. The latter are under wired. They are like very full cupped real bras. Once fitted properly I can run in them and the puppies do not move. They are not cheap but it is the one thing I never economise on.

    I am in the UK and got my bras in Debenhams, I just happen to know that they are brands available in the US too

    In the UK the current Shock Absorber range is better than the Freya one

    I LOVE my Anita Active sports bra. I got it a few years ago, but I'm pretty sure it's this one (I can't really tell by the picture since it's not EXACT haha)

    Honestly anything in their "maximum support" line is made for vigorous sport, or ladies with bigger chests. When I wear this and a sports top with a "built in bra" (not sure when a strip of elastic became a bra), they stay in place pretty well! It was $80 but completely worth it, especially since it lasts for quite a while.

    I HATE my Tata tamer! I spent like $60 on it & the ladies there swore it'd be good for running, but I still have to wear one of my cheap-o target bras over it when I run. Such a disappointment

    Lululemon is still my go-to bra when I need to tame the girls. I really like Moving Comfort, but not a fan of compression.

    I am a big fan of Moving Comfort as well - I like the Fiona (standard strap) and the Juno (racerback). Of the two the Fiona seems to support better, but the Juno is fine for lower impact sports. (I am a 32DDD, but I wear the 32DD or sometimes a 34D in sports bras).

    In that case, I have Fiona. I always get them confused.

    Moving Comfort - I love the Maia. So supportive and comfortable.

    If they don't go up enough, try Enell. They do it all, even custom. Its much more a "smash them" feel than moving comfort, but the girls are going nowhere. I bought them after breast surgery. 2 years and tons of use later they look brand new. $80 or so well spent.
