    Me too! I have seen links in the past, but wasn't ready to buy at the time. I'll be interested to see if anyone replies. I definitely need to order a few. I think the definition in the middle helps - versus the ones that have no seam there. And I've heard wearing TWO helps. I did Zumba yesterday for the first time in a long time & I had to hold my shirt down by the ends. :(

    This is the Bra I have I don't bounce at all it's not hard to put on or anything, I've had them for a few years, as I got them for golorgaurd (losts of jumping). They are great and last a long time too.

    Oh, I'm a 36DD or a 36DDD depending on the bra.

    When I first started I used the Moving Comfort Fiona bra (bought on Amazon.com). I had a very large chest (I've lost a lot from that area so I don't consider myself large chested anymore). Anyway, it worked great and it was very affordable. I know Enell makes very supportive sports bras for larger breasts but that brand was out of my price range.

    I use a Moving Comfort Fiona and I'm 38DD. I've also used a Moving Comfort Maia and a Moving Comfort Helena II. You can also check out Title Nine and look for bras that are three dumb bells or higher (which means higher impact).

    Enell all the way. Just make sure you measure as they outline on the website, as sizes are 0, 1, 2, 3 etc. I'd recommend checking out www.enell.com for research, and if you find out you like them you can find discounts online.

    I have one from UnderArmor. It zips up the front. It seriously keeps me from bouncing around everywhere. I got mine at ****s, where they have UA reps who can help you. The next one I plan to buy online, since now I know my size and style. Good luck!

    I am still trying to find a good bra as well. I did buy the Enell, but sent it back today. My chest did not BOUNCE but they MOVED SIDE TO SIDE BIGGGGG time when I tried it on and did a 6 step jog infront of the mirror. It was REAL bad for me. It may work GREAT for other people, just not me. I am still trying to find one that would be best for me (BTW, I paid $64 for my ENELL which included free shipping and no tax, but their return sheet said they charge a $5 fee if returning back your order). I hope you find one you like and repost.

    I am a fan of Champion as well. I have tried at least 10 different kinds and this is why i like them: I don't bounce! 36 DD right now but much larger 50 pounds ago. I am also been nursing babies all but 6 months of the last 3 and a half years.

    I also like that you can clip the straps together in the back for extra support and then un-clip it at the end of the workout. I find sports bras that are actual bras, as opposed to pull over bras, are the best in terms of comfort and support. I exercise for a living and i spend 5 days on 7 wearing my sports bras.

    Hope that helps

    Title Nine has great bras. Here is one I like - The Last Resort Sports Bra (appropriately named, right?!):

    I've noticed this bra on some episodes of The Biggest Loser too.

    Good luck!

    I buy all my bras from biggerbras.com I am in the US, but I think it is a UK site. I find that the UK has better fits. For sports bra I get the Shock Absorber level 4 bra. I have also used figleaves.com
