    In my opinion, you get what you pay for. Do some research and be prepared to splurge. It's so worth it though.

    There are several threads on this topic - you may want to search the database. There is one that most recommend - it starts with an E (I can't remember). I don't wear a "sports" bra - just my every day awesome support bra (G cup).

    Good luck!

    I've heard Enell is really good, however they're EXPENSIVE...so for now i'm using either 2 bras or one I purchased from lane bryant which seems to work to so far! :)

    I have an Elomi purchased at Nordstroms for about $70. It is fantastic! Supports very well without having that feeling of constriction like you cant breathe! I think it was well worth the $$ spent.

    Moving Comfort is a really great brand, and I'm a DDD and I found one to fit! Also, there's another site I found that had a large selection. It's in my favourites (at home), so when I get back I can send you the link if you want!

    I have Enell. Well worth it! I was able to find 2 for 71 dollars on ebay. Enell bras are around 66 dollars if you order them online or buy them in stores.

    I'm a 36 DD and just bought a Champion Double Dry Full Support sports bra. I paid about $35 for it. Ran several miles today and it kept the 'girls' in place!

    I'd suggest going to a specialty bra store and getting a professional fitting. My sports bras are AWESOME (the girls dont hardly move!!! and i was used to wearing 3 bras), however the writing has worn off the tags so I cant tell u who made them:( but I paid at least $50 for them but they have lasted me for 2 years cuz i HANDWASH them and let them drip dry. I swear that is the best for your bras and they last soooo much longer. Also the ladies at the place I bought them told me not to wear a bra on consecutive days cuz it the oils in yr skin will stretch the elastic out faster. I have 3 sports bras and wear #1, then #2, then #3 and then go back to 1, 2, 3, then wash them. The soap i use is specially made for delicates. Its called Forever New and the big bottle lasts me a year. It was $15. Hope that helps!

    I wear a G/H and I swear by Layne Bryant (aka Cacique). Hand washing as needed, and even jumping in the shower with it on :laugh: washing machines are bra suicide even for the good ones.

    Good luck with finding what works for you.

    Walmart is just about the only place I can find with decent Sports bras in my size. I wear a DDD or F (depending on the store and bra). When I work out I have to wear 2 sports bras, it's a but of a drag, but it really helps keep them out of my way, and supports my back.
    Good luck!

    I love Title Nine's selection of bigboobie wear. I am a die hard Enell kind of girl though. I will not work out in anything else. I hand wash mine and they stay virtually brand new for a year or more.
