Sports bra advice

Just wondering what larger chested ladies do regarding sports bras when doing vigorous activity such as running?
I wear a normal bra under my sports bra for extra support but pretty sure this isn't right, especially as I get terrible chafing on my long distance runs!
The shock absorber bras look great but I just wanted to check - if you're using a good quality sports bra this alone should offer enough support?

I love the under armor armour 2.0 bra - depends on your body though. I am not that big- 34D but it supports better than any other I've had.0

I personally prefer moving comfort to under armour
moving comfort have several type of high impact, the Juno is very good but hard to put on
the other one is maia it's pretty good too. To me moving comfort bras are the best I've tried and I tried a lot!0 -
A good quality, properly fitting sports bra will be enough. You shouldn't have to double up - if you do, it's the wrong bra for you. Anyone who tells you otherwise, hasn't made the effort to find the right bra.
There are several brands that are great for average busts, and a few that are fantastic for the more well endowed. My recommendation is to get to a running store, or someplace that specialises for something like zumba, and try on all the brands they carry. Jump around in the changing room like a fool, and see which one feels the best.
FWIW - I love the Lululemon "tata tamer" bra. Other people love Moving Comfort. The more well endowed often prefer the brand "Enell"0 -

Yep a good one will do you. I can't remember the brand of mine but there is no boob movement. None. I got it from Running Room.
Look at anything labelled "high impact".
And I second @AllonsYtotheTardis -- go to a specialty store, try stuff on, jump around. I got help when I bought mine from the running store. I would recommend it if you're open to it.0 -
If you get the type of sports bra that has the adjustable back and straps you won't need to double up. I use those and find I don't need to double up when I wear them.0
-
Just something to make you all laugh... after I had my daughter and could start working out again I had milk boobies that were about a size g.
At 1 point I had 3 sports bras on, I was worried I'd give myself a black eye! Lol!!0 -
love, Love, LOVE the Victoria's Secret Knockout Bra. Doubling up is just wrong. If you are doubling up you are in the wrong size.0

I got an Under Armor bra on super clearance at Marshall's the other day. I love the way it fits. I also went to a Champion outlet store and tried on several of their high impact bras in my actual bra size. Found 2 more I really like. I have 2 from Victoria's Secret, but I'm not a fan. They have additional padding that I just don't want/need. I'm a 36D.0

I LOVE this bra. It really locks everything down tight and is in my price range. You'll feel like you're wearing armor with this sucker.0 -
I double up on compression sports bras and it works just fine for me. I would rather pay $15 per bra at Kohl's than have to spend big bucks on a bra that I don't love. I definitely don't wear a regular bra, though. Old Navy actually has some decent sports bras that are cheap AND are supportive. The other day I actually just wore ONE of them while interval training and it worked fine!0

Moving Comfort Fiona bra fit me well. I am not too big though - 38C.0

How true to your bra size was this bra?0 -
victorias secret has pretty good and comfortable sports bras with underwires built in them, they're really comfortable0

Some good ones here: http://www.herroom.com/sports-bras,full-figure-(dd-),bras,1884,66,001,25.html. Though don't buy online unless you know the brand and size ... try on in store first.
And yeah, with the right sports bra, one is enough.0 -
For UK, I can recommend Glamorise 1066 and La Isla Women's High Impact Wire Free Non Padded Powerful Seam Free Sports Bra. Normally 40C ... 42D in both of these bras. Some tightness, but very secure, well made, and La Isla has great colours.0

I'm a 32E and wear this one for running:

(UK shop).
No jiggle at all.
I'm not enough of a contortionist to get into normal sports bras - zip front just seems so much more logical to me!0 -
I'm a 34D. I wear a Moving Comfort underwire compression bra from Athleta0
-
My go to is Under Armour...I don't remember the name of it, but it zips in the front and the back straps criss-cross, which provides more support. I LOVE this bra!0
-
I had to upgrade to a high impact sports bra after I had blisters on from my first 10 mile run. Google sports bras for large chested women, there's lots of reviews out there. They are pricey but so worth it when you're running and the girls are secure!0
