    Not that I'm every going to need one.....but my friends that are "well endowed" say that UNDER ARMOUR bras are the best!.

    YES! I love mine. Now my boobs have deflated majorly, but 50lbs and two cup sizes ago they were the only thing that kept my ladies in place.

    I like Shock Absorbers' bras. They keep my 34Fs supported through all sorts of things, including rugby!

    The Wacoal Sport Underwire Bra. It is so great and fits me perfectly. I've worn it during numerous half-marathons and I even wear it under my suit during triathlons. Does not chafe or ride/shift at all. http://www.wacoal-america.com/shop/bras/sport/

    I went to Nordstrom and had a bra fitting--so worth it. I was buying the wrong size. Bought 1 bra there and then buy subsequent new ones on ebay for a sometimes less than half the price.

    Before i lost weight I used a Under Armour sports bra (the one that zips in the front) and it was great for my DDD chest. Now that I am much smaller I can basically use anything.

    actually if you want those babies to stay pretty good, i'd suggest an enell. it doesn't look as cute as the small bust girls wear in all bright neon colors but it def makes sure they stay in place nicely LOL. its a bit of an investment too

    edit: got a pic for you images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQWLUmRb9tl7Z8XvYIFwx-Y34PLDeGUoLZxzwqpk6Lgh5gzyQLSlA

    I have this one as well, its good, but doesnt breathe like some other bras, so I find it very hot to wear

    I love my enell. I went to a specialty bra shop and tried on all the other bras they had (freya, panache, anita etc) and the enell is the only one that worked for me. I think I bought it a bit too small but now it is the only bra that fits me. All the rest are too big! I also had great luck and ran a marathon in my moving comfort maia and would have gotten another one if I could have tried it on first. I was a 34H in anita when I got my size 1 enell I think. I do agree that it is hotter then the moving comfort but I think it also improves my posture.

    I use an Enell as well. It took a bit to get used to - having difficulties breathing, feeling the band around the ribcage as quite tight. I feel that this 'breaking in' stage is well worth it when my breast tissue is not sore after exercising. To me it was worth the investment, as I have used mine for many years. I highly recommend the Enell for ladies who are well endowed.

    This is a topic I am constantly struggling with as I am really chesty and without the proper bra I think the girls would hit the ground before my feet do and then rickashay up and hit my chin. I am currently wearing a Lunaire and it seems to be doing the job. And for reference I am a 36H. I also have a panache in my closet that I have never worn yet but it just about fits and it is a 34I.

    Just wondering if the under armour and shock absorbers fit true to your regular bra size? Or any of the other brands mentioned.


    ETA: I'm a 34DD

    The Panache sports bras that I like fit similarly to a Fantasie bra. You need to take your actual underbust measurement as the band size rather than adding inches. For instance, my underbust is 33" and I'm wearing a 34" band size, which is not tight.

    I can't fit an Enell because they don't seem to allow for big cup size. I have never found shock absorbers to be comfortable, so can't speak for them.

    I'm not that size, but a few of my friends are. They just double up on sports bras. Double the coverage and half the bounce.

    Moving Comfort - Fiona style. Best I've found and I've researched a lot!

    I am a 38C and I have been struggling with finding a good bra for working out and minimizing bounce. I tried Nike sports bra (racerback) in XL and thought it absorbed sweat well while keeping me cool and dry. However, it did not hold my bust well and it was on the thinner side. I have been more happy using my Size L Victoria's Secret Sports Bra. It has a sexy cut to it and holds quite well. There's also enough padding on it where things don't show through. However, it does fit tighter than the Nike one and it does not keep me as dry.

    I bought this bra about 3 1/2 years ago and didn't wear it till recently, because I never followed through on my plans to work out. Now that I have been working out and walking/jogging while wearing this bra for the past 6 months I absolutely love it!! It is true to size, I am a 34HH in Panache balconnet styles and that is what size my Shock Absorber is also.

    Yes, I do this as well. Mainly because I'm poor. I just wear my regular bra with a cheapo 3 for $10 sport bra over top.

    I too use Freya and Panache! Freya is by far my favorite and they have adorable bathing suits. Expensive but well worth the investment.

    Before turning 21, I used to wear the cute cotton sports bras, but I will never be able to do that again, lol. I went from a nice 36C to 36GG. The drastic growth was due to weight gain and genetics. I have lost 40 lbs since but my size has only gone down to a 36FF. Realizing that I will never be a 36C again, I went to Nordstroms to be properly fitted. My favorite everyday bras are the Elomi's, super cute and very very supportive. I use Freya for my sports bras and bathing suits. My shape has drastically changed since wearing proper bras. Please please do yourself a favor and get properly fitted!
