    I just started wearing this, but so far for 2 of my runs, it seems to do well : the champion show off bra. It is a max support bra. I like that you can adjust the shoulder straps.

    I did find them on sale at ****s and Sports Authority.

    Agreed. I use the one above and the Shock Absorber Max and find them both great.

    Moving Comfort hands down! I'm a DD and I used to wear my regular bra and 1 or 2 sports bras on top. Moving Comfort bras are all you will need. I have and love Juno, Maia, Rebound Racer, Divine Mesh. The girls are locked, loaded and stylish!

    Champion (NOT C2 by champion sold at target) has a lot of great high impact bras. It looks like they don't sell the ones I have anymore. I am about to get new sports bras, so I'll be going to the outlet and trying all of their styles. The last time I went there they had a super duper industrial one that was actually TOO much support (it pushed my chest up and apart, it was weird). I tend to like ones with keyhole backs, wirefree, full coverage, wide straps.

    I also recommend lifting weights. It may be psychological, but I feel my chest wobbles less now that I've been lifting.

    Enell - really ugly, but works for rebounding. They don't move.

    I'm a DDD and I use the Armour Bra by Under Armour. There's still a little bounce but when the girls are this big there's no such thing as eliminating bounce. The Armour Bra holds them better and more securely than any other bra I tried.

    Okay, no fooling around here, I wear a 36J, and Freya is the best for keeping my stuff in check. Yes, they're expensive, but you can find deals on eBay and I cannot even imagine doing anything physical with an old-fashioned compression sports bra. Separate cups, underwires, three-part construction - so necessary right now.

    ETA: I don't want to bra-vangelize too hard, but ladies, please make sure you're wearing the right sized bra! I wore a 38DD for yearsssss, and thought I knew my bra size. So wrong. I didn't even know that a proper bra should have a tacking gore. r/abrathatfits opened my eyes.

    I have big boobs. I buy the cheaper ones, and just wear two of them. My favorite combo is an Old Navy sports bra and a Champion sports bra.

    under armour. They actually come in cup sizes so they don't squash, but they still hold them in.

    I second Freya!! I wear a 36I and they are the only sports bra I will buy. If you don't want to pay full price, look around on eBay and I even found them on zulily at 60-70% off.

    +1 for Enell. You can get these cheaper on Ebay, but I suggest you find a store in your area and try them on for proper fit before purchasing online ANYWHERE. You want to make sure you have the right size and dont have to fuss with returns and all that jazz.

    The Enell sizing charts are pretty spot on, but I still would try some on to make sure you have the right one. Until I had money to purchase bras that ACTUALLY fit, I thought I knew what I was doing when I shopped for bras.

    At a 40DDD, these bad boys aren't going anywhere in my Enell.

    I swore by enell and if you have large breasts they really will not move at all no matter how much you jump or whatever. But it is a little uncomfortable and shows under tanks. I dropped a few cup sizes after losing weight and still am large but not at all like before. I got this for Christmas last year and it is really a great one. Super comfortable and does not show under most tanks (except the straps are wide but that makes it comfy). However, when I am doing the highest impact stuff repetitvely they do jiggle a little, but it doesn't hurt.

    Absolutely Moving Comfort, best for running or lifting or yoga. When I was a 36-38DD, the Juno was my favorite. Now at a 34B, I love their Rebound Racer.

    I am a 34FF. I swear by Enell. I use to double up to but it never kept them undercontrol. My enell does!

    the new zipper front bra by Victoria Secret - can t remember the model name.

    It has very nice support for my 36C. Better than any Nike, Champion or other common brand I have tried.

    The thing I love most is getting it off and on. No more wrestling match!
    Zip on. Zip off. Done.

    This is what I run in as well, and I'm getting a second one as soon as I see another good sale.

    Thanks for all the recs! I'll look into some of these. I've been doing the 2 bra thing for a while and it's just not working for me . . . it's uncomfortable and the laundry is out of control - LOL!

    I wear a 32E...

    My favorite bras for high impact activities are the Moving Comfort Maia. They are bomb-proof, and yet they come in pretty colors, too (although 90% of my are black).

    My everyday bras are Anita/Rosa Faia, and I also have a few of their sports bras that I use for lower impact activities where I'm concerned about shapeliness under clingier tops (snowskiing, golf)--these sports bras still give a substantial level of support, but look more like my everyday bras--they don't look lumpy or industrial or create a monoboob. Plus the sizes are consistent with my everyday bras.

    I need some suggestions too. I usually just have to wear two if I'm doing anything high impact like running. I only have one that I like that works well by itself and it's from Victoria's Secret. I will have to look into some of these other suggestions, thanks ladies!

    Go to Victoria's Secret and get fitted for a VSX sports bra! They will recommend one or more of their styles dependent on your personal size/shape. :flowerforyou:

    Lululmon Stuff Your Bra. is my favorite. I'm a 32C. It has an open back so it's cooler, is supportive enough for long runs, and has outer pockets.

    Love the Nike Pro Combat Compression Bras. Not only is it great for medium/high impact but they have really cool designs. Feels comfortable to me.

    When I was bigger (38DDD), I wore Freya, hands down. Now that I have lost weight - I LOVE Victoria's Secret Front Closure Bra...believe it or not - it holds during my long runs (6-10 miles) with no bounce and wicks moisture.
