    Panache!

    I'm a 38F and this is the only one I trust. It encapsulates each breast and provides great support. You also have the option of clipping the straps in the back for the racerback look. I like that, because I feel like it keeps me in even more. I went from wearing 3 bras to just down to this one.

    Your best bet is to find a place where they sell this and get fitted first, then order off of Amazon - you'll save money that way.

    Last good one I got I went to a local lingerie/bra store and shelled out almost $100.

    I love the Under Armor Front Zip running bras as well, they work great for me. I run every single marathon in them, they are great. Reading through comments and seeing that some members call a $40 running bra pricy I can only give you one advice. Do not save money on your running bra, they can cost up to $ 80 but if they fit and are what you need I would spend that kind of money every day. You can save money on other things.

    I swear by the Fiona sports bra (and they are reasonably priced). I can workout in these and not think about my boobs so that's awesome.

    As with any good sports bra, you will need to pay a little more but it's totally worth it!

    Check the offers on bravissimo.com, lots of advice there (32G/34F UK here). I have both Shock Absorber and Panache types, and use them interchangably. However, get a good fit, so get a few to try on if you are ordering online...!

    I went for the Cannon online at newyorklingere. I am a DDD and it works pretty well.

    I love the brand Moving Comfort. They have so many different styles and levels of support, you're bound to find one that works. My bustier friends use them happily. Only my friend who's a K (and awaiting reduction surgery....) can't find one to work.

    Enell. I wear it for all my workouts, but especially triathlon. Even wet it does the job. They carry it (and a lot of others mentioned here) on Bare Necessities. That makes it easy to order multiple brands to see what works.

    I have read studies that say there is no sports bra that can provide the support of doubling up. I put my dd's in a regular bra with a sports bra over top, keeps the jiggle to a minimum.

    Obviously those studies didn't include Enell. They don't call it the "serious motion control" bra for nothin'

    I really love the Moving Comfort Fiona bra. When I got it, I tried out some jumping jacks in the store (I'm usually DDD but DD in sports bras) and barely a jiggle. I did get a smaller band size than I usually do.

    One of the things that I love best is that it fastens like a regular bra. I really don't like the sports bra back as I find it's really difficult to struggle in and out of if it's wet. Another thing is that it doesn't give me a monstrous uniboob.

    Ditto on the Moving Comfort bras. I have a Fiona that I love, and I have some of the older styles as well. They wear like IRON (I am just needing to get rid of one of my 10+ year old ones because the hooks are mangled beyond repair), and totally keep everything contained.

    I also have two Road Runner Sports basic ones, and I really like those as well.

    I don't mind uniboob though. LOL I am only interested in keeping them contained and stable.

    I use the Moving Comfort Maya bra. It is pretty nice. I have heard the Fiona is better but I was able to get the Maya SUPER CHEAP so I tried that first and I've gone through a few so far.

    I recently bought a 42DD sports bra from a shop on eBay - very reasonable price too (£14.99 if I recall correctly including p&p!) it's worth running a search for sports bra and your size as most people list the sizes available in the item's title.

    Another rec for Moving Comfort!

    Love those bras. I'm packing some goods (also in the D family - during my weight loss I went from a 34DD to a 32DD, but wear 34D sports bras), and the Moving Comfort ones really hold them in place. I am NEVER going back.

    I like Under Armour, they have several styles but I need mine strapped down I don't want to feel any movement. I'm a 38 D.

    I bought the Glamorise double layer sports bra. I am a 38 F and found that jumping jacks hurt very badly. The only thing that I do not like is the time it takes to get it on since there are 5 hooks in the back. I love that it has 5 hooks in the back though, very good back support. It is essentially a soft no wire bra under and a bib on top that you hook into one of the 4 settings depending on much you want to restrict movement. I didn't feel squished or have a uniboob when wearing it and it gives great support.

    I wear a sports bra 24-7. I bought this one about 10 months ago and I love it! (42D).

    36D here; Moving Comfort Maia is my sport bar of choice. Really comfortable and little movement. Worth every penny.

    I wear a regular bra with a cheap (>$20) sports bra from Target over top of it. Works perfectly for me.
