    Please explain this lower half "flapping". That doesn't sound right at all.

    Are you talking about butt and thigh jiggle? If so, wear compression tights, capris, or shorts, depending on weather. Also, get the right bra and you don't need to wear two.

    I wear anything from Champion to NIke. I love the Nike tempo shorts and Nike compression tights (if you can find the right size - its really tough to fit the waist band). I also like Target Champion brand capris. I wish I could tell you the style on them because they are super comfy even in the heat of the day. I tend to go a little cheaper on the outside clothing and splurge on a comfy bra that does the job (UnderArmor is great). Old Navy also has some decent athletic wear. I'd go to a sports store and try on anything that struck my fancy. Jump around the fitting room and move and see how you like the feel. Good luck to you!

    Everything flops on me when I jog. Upper half of the body and the lower half of the body. I wear my tighter fitting clothing to help me stay contained.

    I run in jeans. I probably jiggle but honestly I don't pay any attention. Whatever. For me jeans are perfectly comfortable and I live in a cold climate so I don't over heat. :)

    Sorry I can't help more!

    I have a great pair of yoga pants made by New Balance that I got for Christmas last year (see my profile pic - the black pants). They hold me in and don't roll over from the movement/pressure, etc. I completed my first race ever (an 8k) in April and they didn't let me down! As far as tops I do Nike sportsbras and underarmour tight tops to compress and stop the jiggling, with large tshirts over to feel comfortable and not have to be self conscious about showing anything I don't want seen!

    I wear an Anita extreme hold bra to control the top, and Old Navy compression capris to control the bottom.

    Check out titlenine.com for running bras--someone recently sent me there, and I bought one I loved so much I just ordered another. I run in Skins A400 compression pants. My jiggle had gone away a while ago, but the compression pants help my hamstrings and IT band too, so it's a win/win. Nothing's moving anywhere in A400's.

    I got rid of using two sports bras when I found this one. Glamorise Women's No Bounce Full Support Sports Bra. I bought it at Lane Bryant but now order them through amazon. I am 40DDD but order the 40DD and the girls are secure. Very little bounce when I am running or other activities that would cause them to move around a lot.

    As for the lower half, I dont have any jiggle (that I notice) there but I do get rubbing thighs when wearing shorts. I wear the compression shorts sold at target. This will help keeping the rest from jiggling too I would imagine.

    I wear the same things now as I did when I started this-- a good sprots bra (I'm a DD and I like the Champion brand at Target-- affordable and works great), a t shirt, and some yoga pants or sweats.

    Clothes is generally a good start.

    Compression pants/tank work wonders though.

    Black capri leggings that are snug enough to keep my lower half from causing any seismic distress, but not so snug as too look even remotely hoochie-mama ish, paired with a really supportive Lane Bryant bra, and a loose-fitting tank tunic that's just long enough to cover my gut.
