Sports bra question

The sports bra I currently have is horrible. It bunches on the sholders and strains on my neck/back, so I end up with a lot of tension in my upper back. Does anyone have any suggestions on great types? I am around 36-40C last I remember. I usually do high cardio and running for my more involved exercises. Suggestions please!! Thanks!

    Try with a too small sports bra. it's more fitted closely around your ribs and helps your breasts from not moving too much...

    Well that's what's working for me (36 C). I went with medium instead of large last time I bought one not too long ago.

    I would look for one that doesn't have the racer back but has the regular u-shape back with adjustable straps. You will probably have to pay a little more for it but it will be worth it. I have one from Champion that has underwire and was around $40 and the Maia from Moving Comfort (can find online at Zappos or at a sporting goods store) for $50ish. Good luck!

    I am about the same size--I use Reebok size medium and it works well for me. I do a lot of running for my exercise.

    Another suggestion--wear 2 sports bras...this has worked well for a couple of my friends!

    Get a Moving Comfort high impact bra. They are amazing and worth the price. I wear the Juno.

    Please do not buy a sports bra that is too small. This can restrict your breathing, leave raw spots from the improper fit, and won't offer optimal support, especially for high impact movements like running.

    I second the Moving Comfort. I am a 34D and this has been the only bra that has kept the girls in place. I literally used to wear 3 sports bras previously. I have the Luna and the Maya but I think there is a new one, just look for high impact.

    I wear a regular bra with a sports bra over it for support since I am a 36 DD. its really hard for me to find sports bra's too that I can afford so that's what I do.

    I do the same! Its super hard to find something that is supportive without breaking the bank.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH! What great suggestions! My current one supports, but the straps just dig and move around. I think I'll have to find a U style. I haven't shopped for one in a while, so I feel a bit clueless :)
