Best Sports Bras for Large Breasts

I am a 36DDD (thanks to nursing ), and I wear Victoria's Secret sports bras in a 38DD. Absolutely amazing! I don't even want to think about how much money I spent trying to find one that was supportive enough.

I second the VSX sports bras, especially the maximum support ones. I recently purchased the Pro Sport one from VSX for my 5k training and it's one of the best fitness purchases I've made. These 36D babies do not move. I can't recommend that entire line enough, way to go VS!

I have an Enell which is just too constricting for me although it does hold tight for running. I love my Moving Comfort Maia but did have to size down one cup size (DD from usual E). I just ordered a Panache today after reading reviews on Amazon and can't wait to try it out on a run. I was looking for a racerback and the Panache has a hook to convert to racerback. If it doesn't work, I will order another Maia.

The only luck I've really had is to go a size down and then wear 2 sports bras. It makes all the difference. I also only wear the ones that hook in the back so you can adjust the strap and make sure that it's good and tight.

shock absorber, i've had loads but they always do the job (fluctuating weight n getting them ripped a few times in games means i get through them a bit lol) n always go for the high impact ones too. ya gotta ban the bounce hunni xxx

Have you tried Elomi Energise? Goes up to a J cup (UK). I use Shock Absorber High Exertion - Style N109 also called Classic support or Active D+ on various websites. It goes up to a HH (cup UK) or 'L' in US sizes. It has a really thick padded bit to cover the 3 hook fastener & unlike some of the bigger size bras is easy to do up and get in/out of.

The most important thing is to measure yourself under the bust & around your back and go for the right back width. Don't be tempted to go up a size - even if it feels too tight - as that is where most of the support comes from in a bra not just the cup size. You can always use an extender for a while as all bras 'give' a bit after a few wears and washes. Also remember you will lose weight and bras will end up too big - I am just about to buy new ones as all mine are now too loose!

I believe in not skimping on a good bra (though I do shop around for a good deal) and replacing them regularly as they wear out, as once you damage those tissues and supporting muscles the only way is down!

Well I read that wrong...I thought it said bar!

Glamorise no bounce (I wear it was a sports tank with built in sports bra as well for a little extra support). I wore these before when I was a 42DDD and now that I am a 40DD. They are my favorite!!!

Want to add that they also fasten in the back like a regular bra so you don't have to try to get them off and over your head when you are all sweaty and sticky.

Also no unaboob with this bra

THANK YOU for starting this topic. I have had to wear TWO sports bras to properly strap 'em down!

One of my larger busted friends also said she wore 2 sports bras... She said it worked.

I swear by Shock Absorber bras (I'm a double DD) and there is no bounce and great support for your back etc. The elasticity lasts. They may be a little dearer than some brands but if you pay out for it you will have found the support you have been looking for and it will last you for years to come. I ordered one recently on the website http://www.boobydoo.co.uk/ where you can measure yourself correctly and free delivery if you spend over £50 (also accept Euro/American currency).

Hope you find the one :bigsmile:

you didnt have any luck with enell? When I put mine on it straps those suckers down. Maybe try going down one size and get the heavy duty one.

^bump^ (and hoping that my 40F-bombs become bit more manageable over time. lol!)

I personally have given up on trying to find a good sports bra for now, or at least till I'm closer to my goal weight and have less of a chance in changing sizes - I'm tired of getting something and it only fit for about a month at the most! I'm a 36DD and either the sports bra's (Champion, TekGear, Fila, etc.) don't help to prevent bounce, or they're super uncomfortable and feel way to constricting. However, those are just what I've tried from regular department stores like Kohls, JC Penny's, Target, etc. I'm sure if I shelled out and bought a good heavy duty bra, I'd probably have something different to say, but I just don't have the money to spend...

I've started wearing a regular bra (I have one designated just for gym use because of sweat stains) with a compression top layered on top. It seems to be the only thing to have helped with keeping my girls in place and doesn't make me terribly uncomfortable.
