    I got high impact sports bras from old navy and love them. I haven't tried their maximum but it might be something to try in stores then jump up and down see if it works for you. It's always a high support bra and then my t-shirt/tank even if it has a built in bra. Then pants depending on the weather. I'll list some of the my favourite brands so far. I am very cheap so I look for affordable brands I could never afford a $70 bra or jacket atm tbh.

    Oh boy... don't try shopping for bras in New Zealand then... most bras START at around $60 :-(
    I usually wait til my next trip to the USA and then go bra shopping! SOOOOOO many more choices, especially for us larger gals. NZ seems to think if we are busty (I love that word!) then we don't need pretty bras. Plain and boring is pretty much what we get :-(

    I get my workout shirts (sleeveless running style shirts usually) and capris from Marshall's, Walmart, Target, and the clearance rack at JCP.

    As for bra's, I like Shock Absorber and La Ilsa. I buy my bras from Amazon when they are on sale. My first shock absorber was a 38E and it held everything in place. I was able to get it for $24 on Amazon when it was on sale. The last time I purchased one (also on sale) I was able to snag it for $15 and at the same time I found La Ilsa who makes bras practically identical to Shock Absorber that are typically priced about $20.

    I have a horrible time finding regular bras that fit. I am 34I. So not that big around but huge up front and sooooo have never been able to find a sports bra that fits. If anyone knows of any that fit freaks please share.

    try Panache or Freya (you can find them on Amazon)
    They aren't cheap, but it looks like their 34G is the equivalent of a US 34I according to the size chart.

    I am DD and have a real problem with "movement" shall we call it? I really need a sports bra that unzips or clasps IN FRONT as I have limited movement in one shoulder due to a past episode of frozen shoulder, and I'm now getting it in the other shoulder :( so can't do the calisthenics required to get in and especially out of the slip over kinds. Any suggestions ladies?

    Try a shock absorber active, its like a normal bra to get on and off but the compression is great. I love it at 36E, no movement at all.
