    I'm a UK 32F and I used to have the same problem. I do a lot of running so I needed a bra for high impact, and I've been very very happy with the Shock Absorber sports bras. I bounce very little, but I'm comfortable. I tend to go to Bravissimo for all bras, sports included, they're excellent at fitting and advice, but of course that depends where you are.

    I recommend Shock Absorber sports bras. ^^

    Rather than spend money on expensive sports bras...here is my cheap trick....

    I wear my regular, underwire, supportive bra under a cheap cotton sports bra - I've found going down one size on that sports bra than my usual size keeps everything nice and snug.

    I find that a high impact sports bra works well for me - that being said, if it's an especially bouncy workout - I will wear 2 of them to keep things under control.

    Good luck taming the girls!

    I'm the same size and have the same issue - I also don't like compression bras that cause the sweat to ooze between the "ladies" either. *shudder*

    I just bought the Anita Women's Extreme Control Sport Bra off of Amazon.com. It should arrive soon and I hope it works for me! For that price, it had better.....

    I used to wear two sports bras. I went to a sporting goods store and bought a bra that was for my actual bra size (34D) instead of small/medium/large AND said it was for high impact sports. Try it on first and jump around, etc in the fitting room. Made a huge difference for me and was worth every penny!

    For your size, I'd say get a 34DD in a Moving Comfort Bra. I feel great in them.

    This is my current favorite: http://www.roadrunnersports.com/rrs/products/MCL217/?cc=FOP

    This one gives you even more support, but is a bit harder to get on and off: http://www.roadrunnersports.com/rrs/products/MCL323/

    Yup, I am in on the moving comfort too!
    Try "June", I loved that model, even after countless tours in the washing mashine (no dryer) it has the same hold on!

    I'm a UK 36FF, and I wear a Shock Absorber bra (the one that used to be plugged by Anna Kournikova). It was a bit pricey, but compared to the cheaper ones I've tried, it's like a Ferrari Enzo versus a pushbike. I find it's good for jumping along with Jillian, and flattens me out a bit for martial arts.

    Don't forget to make sure you adjust the straps correctly.

    I recommend Enell Sports bras. http://enell.com/

    The high impact one allows me to jog without bouncing all over and I'm a 36 H.

    I wear a 34G and Wacoal has an underwire one that I like for general working out, but if I am running or jumping rope I prefer the Shock Absorber.

    The one I recommended is snug but not too tight. Seriously the best thing ever. I swear by it. It feels wonderful to workout and not think/worry about the girls. I used to wear a regular bra with a sports bra on top and it was the most uncomfortable thing ever. This sports bra saved my workouts!

    I do something similar. I buy a sports bra one size smaller and I have one of those workout shirts that have a built in bra that I wear over it. The regular bra thing would work...but i only and 3 regular bras so my way works well, keeps the girls pressed flat.
