Ok so I feel like every sports bra I come across leaves me disappointed!! I'm not large chested but I am working with some 36 B's. I find that either their not supportive enough, not enough lift or coverage, or then it's the opposite to much padding and wires that I mid as well wear a regular bra and there uncomfortable. I like to wear my sports bras under my scrubs to clinicals (ocat student) I like the more comfortable feel then a normal bra since I'm always out and on the go but I want some shape and support. Help!? What sports bra do you love??

    None. I have so many problems. They will be nice, shapely, give some support... But to use them for actual sports and exercise? Wobbling everywhere. I'm still trying to find a good bra that holds down these suckers. Bright side, they got smaller from this weight loss... I'm now a C for the first time since Middle School [jsdfjsdf I was a D when I weighed less than this, damn you weightloss]

    Panache is what I wear. Though I am larger chested...it is amazing and has a j hook for added support during high impact workouts :)

    I'm a 32c and I like the Moving Comfort brand. They have s lot of styles and I think they'd be good for most medium-sized women.
    ETA: I laughed when I saw this topic in the "Support" forum.

    I've heard Under Armour has some good ones, but I usually use any Nike one with super thick straps and a racer back.

    I have a shock absorber that's pretty good. I do a lot of circuits style classes doing things like burpees, squat jumps, mountain climbers etc, and I have 36D boobs, so I need good support.

    I usually just double bra the ladies and that keeps them from roaming free. I did the 30 day shred with all its star jumping fun and I didn't knock myself out so yeah that worked wonders for me :)

    I love enell but they are made for high impact sports. I'm not sure I would wear them during the day, but they are great bras.

    If you're wanting a bra that can work throughout the day and also be effective for exercise, that could be a problem right there. A bra that works for exercise wouldn't necessarily focus on any kind of cuteness or shapeliness, and may actually also be a bit uncomfortable to wear all day, whereas you'd barely notice while you're working out

    I use the Fiona by Moving Comfort

    I just got an Under Armour bra on sale at Dick's and I like it so far. I've had major issues with bras for a long time now so I feel confident in saying it's a good brand. Mine usually don't have enough support OR coverage for a 34/36 C and it makes working out so uncomfortable, especially when you have to constantly readjust yourself during a martial arts class. =/

    Unfortunately I think this is one thing that you'll have to find out by trial and error as everyone's body is different. I've tried several brands but finally have settled on Victoria's Secret Incredible Sports Bra. Good support and coverage but doesn't totally squish the girls into a uni-boob and has NEVER caused chafing.

    For scrubs, I'd just do a soft bra, not a sports bra. When I want a sports bra, I want serious LOCKDOWN.

    I just got an Incredible Bra from VS, too, and am very happy with it.

    I usually do a size smaller. With the wireless bra underneath. I like to feel like the girls aren't going anywhere.

    I just got a Victoria's Secret bra and I'm totally hooked! Its like wearing a hug. A boob hug. Seriously, it looks great and they DO NOT move no matter what.

    I like the Old Navy "Go-Dry" sports bra, the one with racer back and adjustable straps. Try the size that corresponds to your shirt size. I wear the XS and it is pretty snug.

    Seconded. I've heard good things about Under Armour, but I haven't been able to find them in my size. (38DDD) I've had a couple of Incredible by Victoria's Secret (front and back close) and I like them both. However, the girls are definitely more out of control in the front close and my workouts have started to become more demanding. I find them super comfortable though.

    Next time around, I think I am going to try on some active wear and Addition-Elle. I should have more choice when it comes to bras there.

    Try before you buy. Sports bra shopping may require some trial and error. In particular, check potential bras for tightness -- they should be snug but not uncomfortable. Also check for irritating straps, seams or closures. Finally, make sure there's enough bounce control -- don't be afraid to jump around in the dressing room to check support.

    I love my Victoria's Secret sports bra (I bought a second one a few months after the first because I really love it). They're supportive with an underwire, but the underwire is so well padded that it doesn't cut into you or chafe. They hold the girls in place, are comfortable, and pretty cute too.

    Victoria's Secret VSX are definitely the way to go.
