    I like Shock Absorber (which you can sometimes find on sale for a decent price on amazon). There is also La Isla which makes bras pretty much identical to more expensive brands, but is cheaper.

    La Isla High Impact Racerback (identical to Shock Absorbers Ultimate Run Bra) is $20:

    This La Isla bra ($27-31 depending on size) looks to be similar to a Panache Women's Underwire Sports bra ($70):
    http://www.amazon.com/La-Womens-Underwire-Maximum-Support/dp/B00IFZKTI0/ref=pd_sim_193_10?ie=UTF8&dpID=51LHyMxym5L&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL200_SR160,200_&refRID=0FCJ0N1NJW399MRNTHKV

    (Side note: La Isla bras are in UK sizing, so you will need to convert. I made that mistake the first time I ordered one, because the amazon listing didn't specify that part. The way cups are labeled changes around the DD mark between the US and UK. UK goes DD, E, F while US goes DD/E, DDD/F, G.)

    I'm a 32E so need something supportive... I have two personal favourites

    Panache Bras- so good, voted number 1 in various awards. Really pretty and flattering and also reduce bounce a lot! Also has a racer back.

    I also have the 'Freya active crop top' sports bra from Freya. it's really good but not quite as flattering as the Panache. It can feel a bit like an over the shoulder boulder holder type thing!

    Go to a running store like Road Runner. They sell a few brands. My favorite is Moving Comfort (Maia is the best support for my high impact sports).

    Panache ultimate - the best sports bra ever - I now have 6 in different colours and won't wear anything else!

    When I was nursing and had enormous breasts, I bought supportive wireless bras (I think it was Hanes brand). They weren't pretty, but functional. Then I would put a sports bra on over the top. It was the only thing that worked and didn't hurt to run.

    I'm not particularly busty, so I can get away with any sports bra for the most part...but many of my more generously endowed friends swear by Lululemon's Ta-Ta Tamer bras.

    I hear Title Nine also has some excellent highly supportive bras.

    Thank you all for the suggestions! So glad to get some personal recommendations rather than just picking one & hoping for the best! I truly appreciate your help!
