    Big secret- wear two bras.

    One sports that is a lil too small and then a regular over the top. Both underwire- that helps :)

    This is what I do and I still get some boob spillage, but not as bad as when I wear one or the other

    this^^ but with regular underneath and sports outside. no shaking no spillage.

    I started at a 44 DD.... I wore and still wear a sports bra that is too tight and then one of those tight tank tops that have the built in sports bra. I buy mine at Target.

    LOVE Nike sports bras and the Champion ones you get at Target. TJ Maxx usually have Nike and Adidas that aren't bad, either.

    there's no need to wear 2 bras. just wear 1 that fits properly and has the proper amount of support for your workouts.
    i'm a weird size (small ribcage but large cup size) so i have a tough time finding proper fitting bras.

    for maximum shock absorption i like enell and the shock absorber. but are great for stuff like running and sprinting. i just ordered a new one from a site (very.com) since the price was $33 cheaper than anything else i've seen. I'd love to find a cheaper enell, but oh well, them's the breaks

    for other activities where i need less support (lifting, biking, yoga) i go with goddess.

    i would love to try moving comfort and champion, but they dont come in my size. i could try to squeeze the twins in, but in my experience it's not a good idea to wear a bra that doesnt have straps wide enough to support my size

    ^^ I have this one, and nothing moves. That website has a bunch of other sports bras in bigger sizes (in case you don't want an underwire).

    Thnx!! I HATE underwire bras...unless I actually WANT to show cleavage!!!

    This! I HAVE to do this when I run or I'm all over the place. I just get cheap ones from target and I'm good to go.

    Exactly! Even when compared with some of the "best," it just seems to work better for me.

    I wear my normal underwire bra with a cheaper (champion) sports bra on top.

    I'm a 30E and I bought the shock absorber run bra for £8 from ebay, I love it so much that I would happily have paid 4x that much for it!
    One day I'll treat myself to an enell!

    38DD. I really love the moving comfort fiona so far. It got delivered Monday and I've worn it for Aikido and aerobics and I'm lovin, lovin, lovin it. I haven't felt this free to move around without bounce since I was ten.

    I wear Moving Comfort as well, the Fiona style I think. I purchased one on Amazon and after wearing it I immediately went back on and purchased another. They are the best I have found so far!! I would love to try the Enell one's also. A breast reduction would be sweet as well ;)

    I LOVE my Goddess bras- the only ones that make my size consistently. I still do best with two bras for high impact. I wonder if it has to do with just body shape or something- I have no torso and constantly have to resew bra straps to be shorter. One bra (even the really nice ones) just don't do as much as two cheaper ones. It's really odd.

    Natori Sport Underwire Sports Bra http://www.amazon.com/Natori-Womens-Sport-Underwire-Bra/dp/B00361ESA8

    Tried a dozen or more and this was my favorite. I never could deal with wearing two... I like to breath while I run. :smile:

    I'm 38DD and I don't wear a bra to workout.
    I wear two sport style vest tops, one is tight and the other has a slight support, a built in crop top. I use an elliptical, do tai chi, yoga, aerobics, dumbbell exercises and I'm fine, the first layer, the tight vest top really holds it altogether.

    Walmart sells a Danskin sports bra with underwire. I highly recommend it. Wear that one and then a regular cloth sports bra over it if you still feel unsupported. That should help tremendously. No matter what, if you have tig ole bitties you must wear an underwire.

    Wow, I can't belive all the comments on here. :) Thanks ladies.

    The thought of 2 bras bugs me. I don't run. I do aerobics in my living room, walk and bike, so I don't need the major support.
    Im really just looking for something to exercise in and save my regular bras.

    Im going to go back thru and look at all the websites. Maybe I will look closer at Walmart.

    Thanks again everyone. Appreciate it.

    Enell for sure. I have two, and nothing I have tried comes close to working this well. I have run two marathons and tons of half marathons in them. I used to do two sports bras, but they would chafe on my shoulders and in other places after exercising or running for longer periods of time.

    The best ones I've found are by Moving Comfort, they make a few different styles for D/DD cupped women and they are très magnifique!

    Shock Absorber and Enell are supposed to be fantastic. I just got a Moving Comfort that is designed for high impact and was happy with it yesterday. I started out with 38DD, they are 36D now, so I still need the support but I am becoming less full-busted!

    I wear two bras and one of them is my shock absorber bra. I don't even think about my breast moving around or hurting with this baby on!

    I'm going to put in another plug for the Champion Bras. I've also got one from moving comfort that is cut almost up to my collar bone, but it stops the bounce. I'm currently a 40DDD. I played rugby at the college level for a few years and it was the only thing that could keep me from getting a black eye. Sometimes you can find them at stores like TJMaxx or Marshal's.

    Mostly you want something with separate cups, underwire, and really thick bands and straps. Imagine a fortress, but on your boobs. It might not be the prettiest thing you've ever seen but it makes super intense movement so easy.

    I used to have to wear two. I went to a running store and got a high impact sports bra - totally different and I only have to wear one sports bra when I run now!

    I have 3 bras that i wear for working out. They look like sports bras but i dont think they are..2 of them might be but i can't remember because i've had them forever but they HAD underwire at one time and close like a bra. They are a little tight and hold the girls in like crazy

    and here's something that shocked me..the 3rd one i like to wear when i work out was a bra that came in a box from JC Penney's. No underwire or anything but it has padding in the THICK straps. Pretty sure its not a work out bra but the boobs do not move.
    PS- 36DD is my size

    Wow, how can you exercise like that? You must be so uncomfortable.

    I have an amazing sports bra (shock absorber) I'm a size 34H. I use http://www.simplyyours.co.uk/shop/

    This is the specific bra I use: http://www.simplyyours.co.uk/shop/shock-absorber-max-sports-bra/sc769/product/details/show.action?pdBoUid=5280#colour:BLACK/WHITE,size:

    No need for two bras - it is monoboob stylie, but I've never found it uncomfotable (and I'm VERY picky) and it holds me well, no bouncing, no squishing boobies together (although it does make me look like a C cup or something!!) does what it says on the tin :)

    I do different things. First, my high end option is a Freya underwire sports bra (actually i love all their bras but they are pricey). they specialize in small back large cups and many styles go up to a 38J. the sportsbra was REALLY tight when i got it (ran smaller than their regular line) so i wore it with a extender for the few month or so. it stretched a bit and fits well now.

    i usually wear that with a cheapo Target sports "bra" on top. I try to only have one underwire because otherwise i get a rash. but i find the cheapo on top kinda locks everything in the up position.

    yeah it depends on the fit. i guess i've been lucky enough to find 3 bras that consistently work.

    i'm going to have to scratch enell off that list soon though because of how they do they're sizing. now that i've lost a bit of weight my ribcage is even smaller so to wear an enell that fits properly, i'd have to special order it. and considering a regular enell is $65, i dont even want to know what a custom one costs :laugh:

    I use a good supporting underwire regular bra and then a good sports bra over it.
