    Panache, but don't know if you can get them in the US? They sell them in Bravissimo here, which is for the big boobed!

    Go with Under Armor. UA does a really good job trapping sweat. All their products are really good. Highly recommend it!

    Whatever you get, if you are above a c cup, you are probably going to need to find one that sizes by real bra sizes, rather than by sm-med-lg-xlg. At a 36D or above, you'd need and XL for overall circumference, but that sizing assumes an average B to C cup, which means the band will be way too loose. (It assumes the difference between biggest measurement and chest measurement is less than you need). If you go down a size to get a band that fits, t here won't be enough fabric to cover your chest....
  • Victoria's secret has nice ones, but theyre very expensive. They have one's with different amounts of support. It's pricey but Victoria's Secret is pretty reliable.

    Try the Enell sports bras. I swear by them for high impact workouts. However, they can be pretty pricey. And you have to look at their website and see where you might be able to find one.
  • I have a moving comfort zip front that does a great job of holding my DDD rack in. It for sure squishes me down but for some things I prefer the flattened out thing.

    I also have a Shock Absorber that does up funny in the back, really great for support but does not flatten the girls out.

    They all ran retail $60, I got the moving comforts on sale for $17 though (so I bought 2!!)

    I like both of these bras, had no luck with the under armour - it was almost as if they were not made for real boobs, but for barbie chests? You know what I mean? But I am sure they work really well for the right people.

    Recently found yoga bras that wrap around and they are AWESOME. They flatten the chest more than 'traditional' sports bras. Specifically, these are the ones I'm referring to:

    I have used the cheap ones, Under Armour, Anita and Shock Absorber. Shock Absorber by far is the best for me.I find it comfortbale and not much bounce at all. I feel nothing moving anyway. Anita is second, very comfortable but I liked the Shock Absorber better. Under Armour, the cup size was too small for me, I keep falling out of it so I cant rate it except to say it is quite comfortable. I do find a lot of bounce with it, but again might be because my girls are trying to get out. The cheap ones I wont even look at because they dont work for me. I wish they did :) Shock Absorber for me all the way. Worth the money IMO.

    I am a 38E or F, depends :)
