Hi
I've decided to take up a running class in October.
To this end, I'm looking for a good supportive sport bra that will keep the ladies supported (I wear a 40G Freya).
I really want to give this class 100%, but couldn't bear the idea of my ladies hitting my knees when I'm 40! :-(
I've done a bit of research and I like the look of the Moving Comfort ones and the Shock Absorber ones, but I've not used them before, so I'm not sure...
Anyone have any experience with these brands? I'd really appreciate any advice you can give me!!
Thanks in advance,
Hazieo

    Go to Title Nine (www.titlenine.com) - they have 'dumbell weightings' and go with the highest....their site is also pretty good at 'consumer comments'. I've tried the '7 Wonders Bra" and LOVED IT. To be fair though, I'm a 38D, so you've got some cup sizes on me. I found it to be VERY supportive though.

    I have the Moving Comfort Fiona style bra....LOVE it! It is made for D cups and above and it does a good job holding the girls in! It's comfortable and doesn't give me the uni-boob look like typical sports bras do. I plan on getting more of them because I can't stand to put on my old sports bras anymore. Very happy and very much worth the money!

    I have used both Shock Absorber and Moving Comfort. I have to say that I love moving comfort Juno bras - the adjustable straps keep them reasonably still even as my boobies are shrinking (I am probably going to have to order another one in a size smaller soon.). They have been fantastic though - and are really comfortable. They are just awkward to get used to putting on at first, but once you get it - they are fantastic.

    I'm not quite up to your size (34E) but I bought the shock absorber running one http://www.shockabsorber.co.uk/focus/run-sportsbra.html and I've been really happy with it. It's got really wide straps that don't dig in and it's a little tricky to get on the first time (It has a slightly complicated fastening system) but I find it completely supportive. I actually bought mine from amazon but only because they were out of my size in the department store (although Amazon do them at a really good price if you're interested).

    Good luck!

    I currently love the Enell bra and the Moving Comfort Juno bra. Both are fabulous for high impact. No bounce. I'm not thrilled with the material on the juno, but I will admit that I am extremely picky when it comes to such things. As far as functionality and LOOKS, it's amazing. Took it out for 8+ miles today and it was great. The Enell is also fabulous. I've been wearing Enell for the past 1 1/2 years and I have no complaints. They are both worth every penny.

    I also use the moving comfort bra (36D) and they are by far my favorite. They are a bit pricey but they work well. Runningwarehouse.com has the bras for slightly less than what you would pay online and in store and shipping is free. Hope this helps!
