Does anyone have any recommendations for a sports bra that securely supports and holds them in?? :)
I am currently a 40G and I am looking for something durable.

Thank you in advance for any recommendations :)

    i am a 38ddd...and i have yet to find one my size that actually works. but i've heard and tried wearing my regular bra w the sports bra on top. i find it really works to keep them as still as they can while i'm jogging. they still have a slight bounce but it doesn't hurt so i'm guesssing good support. so i guess u can give a try.

    I have heard the same thing. I am a 40DD. I think I will try the sports bra on top of my regular bra on Monday when I go run the bleachers.

    i def get two sports bras and wear them together. this has helped SO much! i get one thats a little smaller for me to wear first, and then one the correct size to control what spills out of the first. having the tighter one creates great support, and the looser one allows me to not look like a harlot wench LOL.

    I get the one that is for the most support. I get them from Target or TJ Maxx or Marshalls.

    I just wear two sports bras. The first one has formed cups to keep from getting the dreaded "uniboob" and then the second is a regular Nike sports bra. The result is a great looking bust line with very little movement, even when I run. I'm a 38DD and wear these in XL.

    I am a 38 C and that doesn't sound big but it is for me. I have seen women wear 2 sports bra on the trail that I walk on.

    I'm a G/H cup as well OP and I wear enell and shock absorber for high impact exercises (running, kickboxing). both reduce all bounce even when i'm running sprints. sorry biut there really is no need to wear 2 bras in this day and age. that's the stuff i did back in the 80's and 90's when i was a full busted athlete. there are tons of great options now

    for low impact exercises i use goddess, elomi and a 1 larger size enell than what i wear for high impact

    This is the only thing that actually works. 46F here!!

    I was a 38ddd (now 36ddd). I found a front zippered Under Armor that I absolutely love! I have 2 of them actually--one in white and one in black. They are thick and padded, which is odd since someone that size doesn't really need padding, but I think it helps keep the girls in control. I don't really know how many options UA has in sports bras, or if they still make that one, but I highly recommend it. Racer back, front zipper, thick/padded. The sizes may actually be "large" "xlarge" etc. rather than by bra size if I remember correctly.

    Laney Bryant has some amazing sports bras. I used to wear two sports bras, but I only have to wear one now. YAY!

    a friend of mine told me to check out plus-sized stores-- lane bryant was the example she gave me-- to get sports bras because they cater to larger bust sizes. i have yet to try this yet though, so it's just a thought. i'm a 40DD and i usually just wear sports bras that are just a tad too snug to strap'em down.

    I had the same problem. I'm very large as well and I just bought my first Enell sports bra. I was kind of skeptical because the sizes are totally different than regular bra sizes but if you follow the instruction they provide when measuring yourself for a proper fit, they do fit. I've never had a bra support me like this one. It's almost like a girdle for your breasts. They are a little pricey but I bought mine on Ebay. The website is enell.com

    Until I found one large enough I wore my regular bra with a very tight shirt over it. Would a 48F work for you in a sports? If so Amazon lists a company called "Glamorise Women's No Bounce Full Support Sport Bra" There is.womanwithin.com for up to 50L---yes I said 50L. www.lanebryant.com/Cacique has up to 50DDD. Good luck I understand your pain.......thank goodness not all of it though. I just goggled for these things. Maybe you can too to see what is available in your area.

    I swear by my sports bras. I purchase them from titlenine.com. I am a 42DDD and cannot stand any movement from them when I workout. The names of my bras (per titlenine.com) are The Last Resort and Hallelujah. Seriously. They cost a little more but are well worth the money!! The girls never move.

    I alternate. I wear two sports bras one day, and the next day I wear the sports bra I got from "9-1-1 Bra Doctor"--depending on which outfit I am wearing.

    I just wear two sports bras. The first one has formed cups to keep from getting the dreaded "uniboob" and then the second is a regular Nike sports bra. The result is a great looking bust line with very little movement, even when I run. I'm a 38DD and wear these in XL.

    lmao oh i hate the uniboob....its so uncomfortable and i still bounce like that like it was a regular bra...for one boob. lol.......when i have money i will definately get a cupped sports bra. lol

    it's so worth it.

    i also dont get how people are wearing their regular bras underneath.. shoot my regular bras are expensive as hell, no way i'm intentionally sweating like a *kitten* in church in those things.

    my enell and shock absorber were a bit expensive ($65 each) but it's so worth it. a friend of mine went the cheapo route and yeah she only paid $20 for her bra at target (that she wears over a regular one) but she's also already been through 4 of them and working on her 5th because they get stretched out and useless while i'm still using the same sports bras i got. i'd say she's going to end up spending more than me.

    i'm going to retire these soon as high impact, but not because they are falling apart (i've had them about 5 months) but because i'm sizing out of them in the ribcage so they are getting too big

    lol well as of right now i have to wear my regular under my sports bra cuz its all i have. but i will get a cupped one to wear under it because money is tight so ican't get one too expensive. but i have a catherine's right around the corner which is the same as lane bryants so i'll see what they have. lol

    A long time ago, I did the normal bra under a sports bra but It bothered me with the underwire... and I hated to get my normal bras so sweaty since I had to buy the expensive ones.

    I used to wear two sports bras together, like an above poster mentioned, one a little snug and then one that fits well... kept them pretty well contained. Now that they have gotten a lot smaller (I am excited about this), I just wear a sports bra and then one of those tight workout shirts that have a sports bra built in.

    Good luck.

    I'm a 34DD, and since I nursed 3 kids, I've got bouncing issues. I wear a snug Champion sports bra over a regular bra. I can run without hitting myself in the face :)

    I have 2 shock absorbers from 3 years ago (yup 3). Now they are downgraded to low impact since I am down a band. Otherwise they are still holding up just fine. I recommending paying and upgrading as well.

    I have 2 Freyas, they are on year 2 right now...... 1 is a little too big, so it is also downgraded to the less impact workouts. The other one is still fitting pretty good, and gets use for high impact.

    ***Freya makes an underwired sports bra that works well. No uniboob.
