Can anyone recommend a good sports Bra? I need one with good support. 38 DD support that is.

TIA

    I love my Enell bras! They are pricy, but they are by far the best bras I have found for running and I am a 42G.

    I recently bought a Moving Comfort bra...Jubralee was the specific model. I think it might be the best sports bra I've ever had...VERY supportive and comfortable.

    This Panache is my favorite. This Freya is a close second.

    I really prefer the underwire to any compression bra I've ever tried. I'm a 36 FF so support is really important to me.

    New Balance are the best that I have found so far. Under fifty and support my C's that average 30 miles/ week.

    Totally agree. Panache is my favorite hands down. I am. 32G/34F. Second favorite for me is shock absorber. This to be honest, when I ran a marathon, I opted for a wireless Nike compression bra in like a size medium as to avoid any movement or chafing. It was a bit constricting but served its purpose.

    LuLulemon Ta-Ta Tamer. 34DD, no bounce at all, even running. It can look a bit weird though because of the way the compression works at the top. Not a "cute" bra, but it gets the job done.

    I'm about the same size as you OP and needing to find one as well.

    Does anyone think Panache ones are pretty good with their sizing (could I order without trying on)?

    Also, anyone try those Shock Absorber ones? Sorry, OP to add my questions!

    I tried a lot of the pricey ones at sports stores. They didn't work well enough. They fit fine, but didn't stop them from bouncing around on top. Then I went to Lane Bryant. I'm also a 38dd. They fitted me and hooked me up with a great bra. It also has clasps on the sides of the band to help with putting it on/taking it off. I love it. I suggest going in to a store and being fitted because especially with sports bras, you need to make sure they fit well and work like you need them to.

    They are both pretty tight. If you aren't accustomed to wearing European sizing, I would go up a band size. U.S. sizing favors a looser band and a smaller cup size, European sizing and high end bras here are more of the tight band, large cup style. For instance, a 38C, 36D, 34DD/E, 32DDD/F all hold the same volume of breast tissue, just disturbing the support and projection differently.

    Also, Nordstrom carries the panache bra and offers free sizing if there is one in your area. Totally worth stopping by.

    I bought a minimiser for my 38h chest and OMG it's awesome there is less to worry about in that area tho I'll prolly try to find a sports bra to wear over it at some point.

    I just got the new front close sports bra by Victoria's Secret 34dd and I love not struggling to get into a sports bra.

    The underwire Panache is really nice. Great support, comfy straps, convertible to a racerback, good lift and separation so no uniboob, lightly padded = no visible headlights, no chafing, smooth look under clothing. I reach for it when hiking, biking, dancing. The downsides: somewhat bulky, expensive.

    However, for high intensity workouts where I'm going to be doing a lot of jumping or frequent transitions from standing to the floor, I prefer Moving Comfort's Fiona bra. No bounce at all, great in terms of wicking moisture, lightweight, no chafing. Love the adjustable velcro straps. The downsides: uniboob, visible headlights.

    In terms of sizing, I wear 34DDD in my regular daytime Wacoal bras, 34DD in the Fiona, and 34F in the Panache.

    I have just recently discovered Victoria Secret's Knockout! I was skeptical of the front closure but will never struggle getting in or out of a sports bra again. I believe they have sizes (online) up to DDD

    I ended buying a couple of champion sports bras with underwire and I love them!!

    Title Nine (Moving Comfort) are the only ones I will ever buy now. I started as a 38D/36DD and am now down to 34D. My BFF was bigger than me and also swears by them. The last thing I want when working out is an underwire, which is nearly a necessity for bigger tops. They have a one year return policy and are categorized by size, support, features, etc. They even have live online chat to help you get the correct size. The only reason I buy news ones is because I "shrunk" not be cause they wore out. I can run all day in them and never bounce or be in pain. My preferred model is the "7 Wonders Bra". I can also twist around in yoga or weight lifting and it never moves.

    Am a buxom 34DD and am training for a half marathon. I swear by the Shock Absorber RUN. Have beenn wearing them for years very robust, adjustable as you lose weight and never loses its elasticity.

    I like the Moving Comfort Fiona, mainly because it has a clasp. I hate the over-the-head ones.

    I got mine from Marks and Spencers (UK). It has a zip up the front so it's no muss no fuss to get it off. I just wear a cheap Primark sports bra under it to prevent the zip coming undone (this has never happened to me but other people mentioned it in the reviews). I'm quite busty (40F) and I like the hold it gives. The bazoombas didn't give me one drop of grief during kickboxing last night wearing that. Only thing is the price. It's £22.50, which okay fair enough but when you have to buy two or three because you can't keep waiting for the wash to be finished it's frustrating.

    I don't even know how people stand underwire sports bras! I know women who love them and swear by them, but I think they're painful. I like the Moving Comfort Juno and the Rebound Racer. They're definitely pricey--around $50 unless you can find a sale, but well worth the money. I've spent so much money in bras this year--more than shoes and I thought those would bankrupt me, lol! But I do not want to have to wash my workout clothes more than twice a week (rather just once--I have 5 kids!), and I work out everyday.

    I just recently got this same bra and surprisingly LOVE it. My running buddy suggested it (she is 38DDD). I admit I was not expecting the support it provided - must be the double layer. The 'girls' did not move

    I'm a 45 year old mother with DD's. Without underwire the girls are just all over the place. Not cool.

    I wear my regular bra then my under armour sports bra on top. Then a tight under armour shirt. Stretch marks are my worst fear. I wear size 36DD. And i feel very secure with my routine lol no sports bra (and i have went through EVERY EXPENSIVE and INEXPENSIVE brand) work well i need added coverage.. plus i run so i need the extra support.

    I wore the Enell bras for years. Those were pretty heavy duty. When I dropped some weight my chest went from a 34F to a 32dd. Now I'm wearing the Knockout front close from Victorias Secret. It's super cute and you can actually wear a tank top with it.

    44 year old mom of 5...38DD...I wear the wires for daily wear, but I choose the "squish them down into a tight little tube of sausageness" method for running!
