    I love my Freya bras! For everyday, and I have a sports bra by Freya too. Cost about $75, so worth it!

    I'm a 30G, I DEFINITELY second getting fit properly, considering you're in a DD, and that's the cap for most mall stores. I hear Nordstrom is a great place to get measured, if you live in the states?

    I dont have big breasts but I bought a Puma brand one from Costco and I love it, I feel very supported. I found a similar one at (I think) Charlotte Rouse, but it wasn't Puma brand.

    I've been using this one for a few years now (buying them when they go on sale) and it's been awesome. I use it for running and it holds those puppies down TIGHT. lol. No jiggling!

    Ha. I own two of these. Love them! I like that it holds your boobs in place without squishing them flat against the body.

    I also wear a 32H, and have a Shock Absorber that basically changed my running. I used to have to stop before I had worn out because of breast pain, and now I can keep going until my body is exhausted, instead of just my boobs.

    (Also, if you've never done it, I'd recommend checking out a comprehensive bra calculator before buying new bras. A many American women in the DD range are actually DD's, but many many many of us just got stuck in "here's the biggest cup/band we have," when it doesn't actually fit. /obligatory bravangelizement post)

    +1 to the bra calculator link. I went for 20+ years believing I was a 34C/36B. Loose bands riding up my back and cups too narrow (creating armpit spillage). I'm not even heavily "busty" by appearance, but ill fitting bras were taking a toll on my posture and breast health.

    Nope, I'm not the size the mall shops claim I am. 30G, sometimes 32F, depending on style. Enell bras or Freya sports for exercising(my exercise "armor"! Love them). UK brands for everyday bras for small bands/+DD cups.

    I feel your pain. I was getting these huge bands (40 - 44, depending on my weight) to get cups big enough to deal with my breasts, and I was always in so much pain. A friend finally sent me to a website that took better measurements when I first started losing weight, and it changed basically everything.

    Seconding the UK brands, if you end up in the DD+ range. I don't have any Freya sports bras, but I do have some of their others, and they're great. :)

    Moving Comfort has a lot of selections...I recommend going into a running shoe store that also does bra fits (the store where I work does that)...try on several and jump around, run, or whatever you plan on doing. We also carry Enel...which can make custom bras if you don't fit into anything else. And buy several and replace them often. Running shoes and sports bras should not have birthdays.

    Victoria's Secret has ones that zip in the front. It's kind of hard to explain - it has a front-close bra on the inside, and then you zip up another layer ontop of that. I'm a 38DD and it is by far the best sports bra I've ever used. I paid $54 for it and I'll probably buy another one too so I don't wear out one so quickly. Not to mention how hard it can be to worm your way out of a sports bra you have to put on and take off over your head!! That can be quite the challenge when you're sore!! I definitely recommend you go try one on at the store.

    I second this. I have spent upwards of $200 on a single sports bra trying to find one to tame the tatas...and this bra did the trick! It's like 2 bras in one. I have had to wrap some foam around the clasp as it digs into my breastbone, but that tiny downfall is totally worth the super cheap price tag. I have paid between $50-70 on these. Totally worth it.


    Whatever you do, DON'T fall for Fabletics. I had one escape on me from one of those cheap quality bras at the gym...and trying to stuff the sweaty escapee back in discreetly was not something I ever want to do again.

    I'm a 36G and love my Freya Active sports bra.... Everything stays where it should and everything is adjustable which I like..... It was a little pricey but so is every bra I get I have to go to Nordstroms to get bras my size probably could get some cheaper online

    I wear Enell. They aren't cheap, but they are seriously the best ever. My boobs do not move in that thing. I get mine at a local running store. I'm currently a 38DDD, so I'm definitely not lacking in the size department LOL

    Ditto. I'm a 30F and spent years with stores trying to put me in a 34D bra (pretty sure I'm not supposed to be able to stick my arm in the band!). I swear by Freya and Panache. A bit pricey but well worth it.

    I can't remember the brand of my best sports bra (36G/H) but barenecessities.com has a lot of supportive ones that are reasonably priced.

    I'm not too big 38C but because I've lost a lot of fat from my bust plus being 44 and breast feeding 2 kids mine are a bit wibbley wobbley, I bought Shock absorber running bra's and nothing moves and no more pain.

    Panache is the ONLY sports bra I will buy now! It is amazing! I'm a 30F (was 34G before I lost weight) and I have 8 Panache ultimate sports bras in different colours! I've thrown all the other failures away and will never look back!

    Thanks so much for posting this! I will try it out as soon as I get home from work. I HATE buying new bras because I can never get the size right. I am basically hanging on to my nursing tanks as long as possible because the idea of switching back to a "real" bra makes me panic. And nursing tanks are nooooot good for exercising haha.

    Check out Maia or Juno by Brooks, formerly moving comfort. Their site sometimes has them on sale if you're not picky about color. Free shipping and returns too if they don't work for you! I'm a 34DD / 36D and those work for me. I also have a front close from VS but being a DD it can be hard to get the hook and eye closed and it sometimes comes unhooked during my workout (thank goodness for the zipper! Lol).
    If you look for Brooks Running on Facebook they recently shared a video of their sports bras. Very helpful.

    42J here. I use Enell. It's the best sports bra I've owned. I was still getting a lot of bounce in the Panache. The girls don't even jiggle in the Enell.

    32DD. I swear by Victoria Secret for cardio of any kind. Otherwise I live in Natori. I own some 40 bras in every brand. But Victoria Secret & Natori are my favorites.

    Did not like the feel of Moving Comfort, I felt smashed in it; but I know women who like that brand.

    Another vote for Shock Absorber here. My boobs have shrunk a fair bit, but my sister in law who was a 40G when she first recommended them to me also swears by them.

    For general stuff (weight training and the like), I like the multi sports one (I believe the model is 4490, they do new colours every year nad you can usually find last year's colours for cheap).

    For running, their ultimate run bra is AWESOME. I don't use it for other stuff because I find it does get in the way of full shoulder rotations a bit.

    This worked miracles for me. I bought one in every color. I'm a DDD.

    This is the one I started with, I liked it so much it's now my everday! I also have some from Under Armour too. Both are awesome. Check Ebay too, when I bought mine there was a seller that had much better prices with the more bras you bought. If you don't like any of the recommendations you can check Fuller Figure Fuller Bust, Georgina tries on literally millions of brands of everything.

    Go to a running store. I like Moving Comfort. Maia stabilizes best for me.

    I wear a 38H and I love my Panache. I got it from Amazon. Try barenecessities, ebay, ukebay, and figleaves for hard to find sizes.

    I like the Shock Absorber Ultimate Run bra. I call it "the boob trap". I can usually find it on amazon, though it is UK sizing.

    Huge fan of Shock Absorber. Won't wear anything else 'cause they provide amazing support (I'm UK 36GG so need the support
