I swear I need one made of steel or something. I have a few Danskin one's from walmart and they are not cutting it. I fall out of them or they don't support me. Any suggestions?

    If you find one - please let me know. I am looking for one as well for Karate. Frankly "the twins" are getting in the way;(

    I just bought a shock absorber bra. (that's the brand) I'm a 40DD. and it's awesome. no movement, no jiggling. great support and very comfortable. i used to have an Enell bra too which was fine but i've lost weight and their size ranges don't fit me comfortably anymore.

    I just got one last weekend by under armor and wow, it is awesome. A lot better than my adidas and nike one. Very supportive and has a small amount of padding (so hides the pokeys) and very comfy!

    Champion High Support bras are the best. The price is reasonable and the support is amazing! Nothing moves while working out.

    Look at the Title 9 website. They have great bras.

    Okay...so number one rule about ANYTHING for workouts is don't go too cheap. Anything from walmart or Target that is under $20 probably won't support the girls if you are bigger than a B cup. I run, and was fitted for a $30 Moving Comfort bra at my local Fleet Feet store. The price made me nervous(living on a budget!) but what a difference! My D's don't move or bother me whatsoever during runs or boot camp classes and no pain either, even on my long runs. Moving COmfort comes in underwire or no underwire and I am sure can be found online as well. Good luck and remember...when it comes to your health never skimp :-)

    Doubling up works great! I do that with the the lighter weight ones, or with tops that have one of those useless shelf bras.

    My concern is chafing, I can find one that holds them I just don't want to have a red ring around my torso & under my arms after a run.

    I got mine from Zeller's. It looks pretty heavy duty and I wouldn't wear it infront of people lol, but it kept my girls down when I was a DD and now it does an even better job after my reduction to a C.

    I would recommend a CW-X brand, for extra support. I started running and this bra has saved my life! I feel well supported and it is constructed very well busted women. The price is around $50+ but well worth it! Good luck

    Check and see if you have a Maiden Form store in your area they have really good sport bras, they are pricey but very well worth it. Some stores measure and fit you.

    I use the Enell bra and it's changed my life! I'm a size F or something ridiculous like that, and this bra offers great support. It is pretty expensive, not very attractive, and has this weird seam that shows on all of my shirts but I don't care because it's the best sports bra I've ever had.

    Ditto. I have just ordered two new ones. They are definitely pricy but you can find new (tags attached) seconds (mis-sized, minor defects) on E-bay for quite a bit cheaper.

    Agreed . I haven't had any problems with the moving comfort with chafing either. I chafed often when I doubled up though!

    What size are you? Do you need lots of support? I just got this one, love it! I have one from Nike too, but it was twice more expensive and actually VS one better

    I bought the Lululemon "The Bust Stops Here" in 38DD. It is unbelievable! The only problem is, I bought it at an outlet while on vacation and now I find out that it has been discontinued. Before this one, I had a Moving Comfort Maia bra in 40DD, it was really good but the bottom band rolled a bit. The Lululemon is perfect. I mean, no movement, and it is super comfortable. I never knew that working out could be like this. I am in week 5 of the c25k program and I could never have made it here without this bra.

    The new one they make to replace it is called the Ta Ta Tamer but unfortunately it does not seem to come in the larger sizes. I don't know what to do when I need a new one because I don't want anything else! I even contacted the outlet in Orlando but they said they would not ship.

    Yes, this works for me too!

    Love moving comfort Fiona and shock absorber. I'm 34E and it's hard to find a good bra. Also like champion. I wouldn't go cheap, I pay anywhere from $50 - $100, but it's worth it.

    My favorite, that I own, is by Adidas. It is very supportive w/out being tight.

    This is the problem with lululemon - they change things, discontinue them and then re-name them in a slightly different make. and it's not the same, and they never bring it back. if something works, I don't know why they have to get rid of it.

    I'm similarly sized and this is the brand I have. It works really well for me. And it wasn't quite as expensive as some others that I have seen.

    I have a shock absorber, it's really great.

    It also apparently "Stops irreversible sagging" which sold it to me.
