    Freya and Shockabsorber work for me. (I wear a 36H) These are pricy but good. Frey gives you better shape. Shock Absorber has very good support, crappy shape. Sources:
    Very.com
    Bare Necessities
    Figleaves.com

    I have heard good things about Enell, but I have't tried it.

    Very.com is super cheap, I got a Shock Absorber bra for $35. Last time I paid $50. I have paid around $40 on average. I think you need to replace the sports bras every 6-12 months depending on how many are in your rotation. I am getting around to replacing mine now, but have only been exercising very consistently for about 4 months. But I am replacing mostly for size, not wear and tear. I shrunk in the band a bit and they are loose.

    This is spot on. The only thing I would add is that the crappy shape of Shock Absorber sports bras is from it smooshing you down quite a bit. Not sure about everyone, but it makes me spill over on the sides unless I go up one size. Also, it's not great for yoga.

    The only thing that really helps me without having the girls bounce everywhere is a regular cotton bra with a good tight sports bra over. I wish I could do without the cotton bra, it can be uncomfortable but not as uncomfortable as the girls moving around during a work out. Good Luck, I hope you find one that works for you!

    I'm using the Juno bra from movingcomfort.com. I got it on sale for 31 dollars, and I LOVE IT! It's no underwire, it doesn't stink after a heavy workout, comfortable, and the straps adjust in the front with sturdy velcro. My only dislike is that it's a clasped racer back, so it's kind of hard to put on at first and hard to get off, but man does it hold the girls in. I'm a 38 DD, and it's definitely awesome.

    I had an Enell and absolutely LOVED it!! They are quite pricey and totally worth it... Just make sure someone doesn't "help" with the laundry and put it through the dryer (mine MELTED)! ;)

    I use the Fiona Bra by Moving Comfort - awesome, the first time I haven't had to wear 2 bras to run!!! Wash well, wear well, and not so much the "tube 'o boob" feeling with it on - you actually have some shape! lol

    Good luck!

    shock absorbers also do encapsulation style sports bras. I have one of these and its the best thing i have ever bought. I get no movement whatsoever and it is so comfy. http://www.sheactive.co.uk/catalogue/9128-2825/shock-absorber-b5044-run-sports-bra-coral-charbon.html

    Most running stores would (should?) stock them... but will be more pricey than finding them online I think

    To help with the enell sizing - I'm a 36 DDD, and I use the size 1. I tried the size they recommended, but still had way too much bounce. So I returned it for the next size down. It completely controls the bouncing, however I do have the uniboob going on. It's like putting on armor, with all those hooks and eyes, but totally worth it in the control department. I ONLY use this bra.

    I have 5 of them, ranging between 5 and 7 years old. Every last one is still as supportive as the first day I wore them!

    Edit - If only I could find an every day bra that's as wonderful as my sports bras!

    I'm a 32-34 DD-F depending on the brand and as a busty girl who's tried them all, I say without a doubt the Moving Comfort Maia. You can get it through Amazon wicked cheap and their size range is unbelievable. You can also return through amazon to find your correct size. I ordered a few and returned the ones that didn't fit right. It lifts and separates better than any other sports bra I've ever worn. Yes, I said SEPARATES. I am a horse trainer and this bra is great for even that kind of intense impact work.

    Here's a link . . . .

    A radio show in Ireland tested a few sports bras for busty women and Panache came out on top ahead of the Enell bra which they had championed previously, they got volunteers to run a 5k and review all the bras afterwards :smile:

    I have given up finding a new sports bra but I want a new one so bad!

    Regular bras never seem to be comfortable enough and I wear my sports bra every day at the gym and when working out. Before that I wore it pretty regular anyway because it held the girls in and was so comfortable.
