I am a busty gal! lol...my whole life I've been a dancer, and would duct tape my girls under costumes (not across the girls, under and around!) Since my competition days have been over, I've been doubling up...one regular underwire bra with a sports bra over it. It's time for me to invest but I don't know where to start! Any suggestions?

I wear a 42DD, if that helps!

    I'm a HUGE fan of Moving Comfort. Their Fiona bra is great. Plus it comes in cute sassy colors.

    If you go into search and try typing in Sports Bras you will find about half a billion topics on this that all should offer some great suggestions as well. :)

    As a 32F, I love Panache's sports line! :)

    I SWEAR by the tata tamer from Lululemon. It isn't cheap, but I've been wearing mine regularly for 2.5 years and it is still in great shape! It comes in fun colors and most importantly it keeps the girls immobile. I do Jillian Michael DVDs and elliptical training mostly and have no bounce/pain!

    MOVING COMFORT FIONA! I'm also 42DD and it is the best bra I have EVER worn. I do high intensity cardio and my boobs stay right where they should :)

    Buy Under Armour sports bras. I've got two pairs of them and they work GREAT :)

    34E or DD here, and I have used the Fiona (Moving Comfort), Glamorise 1066, and Shock Absorber. All of them are great and have served me well for running. The Glamorise is probably the cheapest. The Fiona runs the smallest I think and it is most like a traditional sports bra (the others are more separating).

    I recommend going in to get fit for a sports bra if you can. My running store (Fleet Feet, it's a franchise, so you might have one near you) offers a free fitting service and prides themselves on having a very wide range of sizes. I actually have been able to buy bras in the store there and that hardly ever happens at my size.

    the biggest cup size i could find in sports bras was 34hh which is my size and they were too small, not enough support and still gaped underneath, i find a good brand name supportive bra and a tight fitted stretchy top or 2 works well :)

    Have you tried Freya Active underwired bras? They go up to a K cup, but I find they tend to be biggish in the band, so you might want to go down a band and up a cup (32J).

    I haven't tried the ones mentioned by others here, but I swear by Enell. I'm wearing one under my tri-top in my picture. Swim, bike, and run!
