    Personally I HATE exercising with an underwire. I run and it chafes me raw! That said, I wear REALLY TIGHT bras that hold them in (I'm a UK 36HH). I've tried MANY bras and found that I prefer the Shock Absorber best. It has not wires and gives me a square chest, but it holds those puppies in. I also have some older bras I wear that fit, but chafe. For those I wear a Champion stretchy sports bra under it to save my skin.

    I know a lot of the lades like the Enell bra. I did not like the fit and sent it back. I'm afraid you'll have to either find a place that sells them or order online knowing you might send it back and pay the shipping/restock fees. Best of luck!

    I have the same issue. I wear a regular bra with a good tight fitting sports bra ontop if doing any high impact workout. I try to find a sports bra one size smaller than what I would typically wear since they have alittle give.

    Good Luck!

    I use a shock absorber bra and a regular bra on top - a size smaller - I am a 48E so they did jump about like puppies in a sack before I started doing that.

    The price of large sports bra's in the Uk is ridiculous and very difficult to find for bigger girls. The same goes for gym wear. I just double up on bras and when I get down a few sizes I think I will have more options for a decent sports bra in more regular sizes - but loathed to spend at the moment when I am dropping inches at a consistent rate.

    mini rant for me is that big girls need to wear gym stuff too and they stop at a size 20, someone with business savy needs to pick up on this potential market.

    Enell, absolutely the best sports bra with limited movement for a larger breast. It is expensive and odd to get into but once you get it figured out you will be glad you did.....good luck

    Some of the high school girls around here really do use duct tape before athletic events (like a basketball game) so I didn't even think that was a bad answer!!!

    Im a 36 H, I live in Canada and have yet to find anything even somewhat okay for my size. I've resorted to working out at home and just holding on to the girls if I'm jumping around too much! If any Canadians out there have a better idea for me please share the knowledge!

    I'm a 30F, have been as big as an 34H. My favorite bra is the Enell. It definitely holds you IN and tight but I use it for everything from running to high impact aerobics. I also have one by Freya that I like OK but the Enell is SO much better.

    Even after shedding all this weight. I'm still quite busty and the ONLY thing that helps when I run or jump is to wear a regular underwire bra with a too-small sports bra on top. It's basically like binding them down that way, but it's just too painful otherwise AND I just don't want to end up with a black eye if my boobs hit me in the face!

    I was just thinking about this when i was doing the 30 Day Shred a few hours ago lol.
    I have 40D (sometimes DD) boobs and I usually wear a sports bra with an underwire..
    or a sports bra with a tank top with a built-in bra over it :) really holds them down!

    Feel your pain, my manboobs kept smacking me in the chin. Brushing my teeth shirtless aint pretty either.

    My busty friend and I both put a sports bra over a comfortable regular bra.
