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.
How true to your bra size was this bra?
For an F cup, mine was perfect.0 -

Yup. When I was a size 32F I was partial to the Moving Comfort Maia for running--just make sure it fits nice and snug as they changed the sizing up a little recently.
The ladies at titlenine.com are also usually spot-on with their recommendations as well.

A million times yes.
If you have the correct bra for you and at the right level of support you should not need to wear two bras. You wouldn't wear two normal bras to work to get the right support, you'd simply wear the correct bra.
Shock Absorber are great - I've always bought from them. I'm a 36D and I need the maximum support level because I cannot stand any distracting movement when working out, but it is sufficient and comfortable. Moving Comfort also have very good reviews and I'll be getting one of their Juno bras soon to try.0 -
Shock Absorber - high impact for me. What I have found though is that I need a bigger band size for running than for my "normal" gym activities. I can get away with a 32F normally but for running I need the 34E as the band does not "give" very much and I found that I was unable to breathe properly.0

Thanks for the suggestions everyone - definitely have a few new brands to try out. Good suggestion about the band size, I find my sports bras always feel tight on me and that's no doubt why I'm getting chafing!0

36G here, and I swear by Shock Absorber level 4 ... has to be the 'classic support' for me though, have tried the others, and this one fits me best, but everyone's different so a bit of trial and error is needed.
Once you find the one for you, buy loads of them cheap from eBay0 -
36H, and I swear by Enell high impact sports bras!

Hi -
I've gotten a couple of Glamorise bras before and found that they seem to run little small in the band. How's your experience been with the sports bra?

Are a little smaller in the band, a little moreso than the La Isla, which has thick ribbed band (a little more give), so definitely need to buy a larger size.

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!
Thanks about this; bookmarked!0 -

And, that's the other thing, I prefer zip-fronts too. I really like the one I've had forever, but the brand tag tore off so now I'm trying to think about what to do now that I am exercising in earnest and want more than one. Unfortunately, I need to look for a 48 C of some sort which limits me a lot.

36DD/E here I like the zip fronts as well but UnderArmour makes a marvelous compression bra. VS has a zip front incredible I like and their knockout series was nice but the straps were not wide enough for me. But any three of these options and they do not move..at all0

Under Armour all the way0

Panache sports works for me.0
-
I just wear a Bali bra. It's the Woman's Satin Tracings Minimizer Bra. Works great in the gym. No bounce. I'm a 40 G.0

I'm a 32H, and am absolutely in love with the Panache sports bra. It isn't a compression bra, but somehow it keeps everything in place better than any compression bra ever has (even when I was less ridiculously endowed), plus it is super comfortable and doesn't hinder your ability to breathe properly. Herroom.com bra size finder is going to be your friend, since Panache is a UK brand and their sizing runs a little differently than the US, and that will give you a really good conversion based on a bra you already know fits.0

Shock absorber ... Especially if you live in uk where victorias secrets and under amour are a little more expensive0

I find that with Shock Absorber, the band sizes are made very small. I wear a 30DDD/30E in my normal bras, but I take a 34D in my Shock Absorber sports bra.

The best bras I have found are the Victoria secret sports bras. They are wonderful for holding everything up. If you don't fit those I would take a trip to Victoria secret and check out the construction and then research others that would be comparable0
