I'm having a hard time finding a GOOD supportive sports bra that is big enough. I want to work out and do some harder strength building and calesthenics but I feel like I'm gonna pop out of my bra! HELP!

    I wear 2. a regular bra with underwire (un lined, but thicker matereal) and then I wear a chamption sports bra over it. I find that gives me the best support, and helps with the uniboob issue that I can' stand.

    If I am going to be doing a lot of movement I wear 2 to 3 sports bras. That way they aren't bouncing all over the place. Not the prettiest look but at least they are supported.

    moving comfort. by far are my favorite, and I'm a DD. I wear a D in their bras to make them a bit tighter, but my favorites are the vero for pretty much anything, maia for running/high impact, and fiona for things like yoga/pilates and other lower impact activities. they aren't super expensive either like most higher quality sports bras for big busted women!

    I literally just ordered the Under Armour "Armour Bra" last week. It has gotten incredible reviews... supposedly doesn't create uniboob and also gives you support with just the one bra. It'll arrive next week so I'll tell you how it goes.

    They do not show online, but in my local Walmart I get a soft underwire sport bras in DD. It has cups and supports a lot better than most, and is only $6. Then a through a conventional sport bra over it, and I can do jacks and such.

    i actually found a good one at target - they have some champion brand sports bras that come in bra sizes. before i found that kind at target, i was planning on buying one from a sports store that was about 3xs the price. but i've been really happy with the target find, i've actually bought a couple now. good luck!

    I have read several threads on this so you may want to search as there are several different brands that seem to work for people. For myself Champion has seemed to work pretty well I get the Max support for D and DD. I am a D down from DD.

    I'm the same, and I love the Champion ones. They make this light grey one that is the BEST I've ever bought. I'm planning on buying a bunch in the same style soon!

    I'm a DDD and found mine at Wal-Mart for like 8 dollars. It actually works really well, I have support and am covered all over. When I first started I had a hard time finding something and was surprised I found it at Wal-Mart.

    I really like my Under Armour sports bra if I am doing anything more than weights. I specifically have the one with the razor back and zippers up in the front. I'm a 32 DD so it's incredibly hard to find anything that fits the girls and still sits right on my ribs. Under Armour is a little more pricey but definitely worth it.

    I think that I am mostly shocked at the price of the sports bras. I would like to be able to get a few of them since I don't like the idea of being all sweaty and gross working out and then wearing it again if I only have one because its $60. I will be checking things out at target and walmart. Either that or I will be wearing 3 bras haha

    I agree! Some of the prices are crazy. I know this week at my Target the Champion bras are on sale for like $13 each, so it's not too bad. I considered some of the pricy options, but since I'm trying to lose weight I didn't want to invest in a bunch of nice stuff that I'm hoping to grow out of soon.

    I wear two like many people have already said. This works really well. I'm a D - DD depending.

    I sometimes wear 2 bras, but recently bought a Champion Powerback. It is amazing! I got it in a 40 DD and it fit perfectly, seperates nicely and provides more support than any of the 6 other sports bras I have. I can even run in it comfortably. It was like $25 on amazon.com.

    I am a 36DD and I LOVE my lululemon cross your heart bra. Tucks the girls up nice under my chin and doesnt cause uniboob. about 50 bucks.

    I love the Moving Comfort Maia--I have it in two different sizes (34DD for running and 36D for low impact) and the girls stay put. No annoying mono-boob. Title IX is a catalog company/website for active/fitness clothes and they have an excellent bra selection--for all sizes and impact levels.

    I also wear two, an underwire that the wires came out of, and a tank sports bra by Old Navy. Works perfectly!

    I'm a 44DD, and I just bought two great sports bras from Lady Grace...I'll take a look at the brand when I get home...But I believe it was only about $40 for the two of them...And there's no annoying underwire either...

    EXACTLY!! Its hard enough finding a good sports bra in DD but finding one in a 40DD is pretty tough. I've always been at least a 38 at my thinnest, I guess I just have a big ribcage! I don't want to spend a ton of money on one seeing that I am loosing weight fairly quickly. Thanks, I'll check out amazon

    I used to wear 2-3 until I got an Old Navy padded sports bra. Great support AND coverage, plus it washes well. No popping out, no bouncing, no uniboob, and it covers more than many of my tank tops.

    Ditto on the Champion Powerback...until I found that one, I never could find a supportive sports bra.

    Hey wow...I've been rocking the uniboob and didn't even realize it was an issue lol

    I buy mine from walmart but then replace them frequently because they stretch out. I get a D size though I'm a DD and it squishes them in there lol.

    If you have any running stores around (that specialize in running shoes, etc) they usually fit and sell specialized sports bras. I have the same problem!! (40DDD) I went and got measured and I feel so much more support. Now keep in mind it's a little costly, but you get what you pay for... Your back with thank you.

    I recently ordered The Glamorise Double Layer Custom Control Sports Bra. They have it on JCP.com but I ordered it off the manufacturer website for less. http://glamorisesport.com/double-layer-custom-control-sport-bra/ I'm a DDD and even 2 sports bras don't help. This bra is awesome and worth the money!! No bounce and I feel very secure in it.

    I know some people that wear two. I wonder if there's any research on whether that is helpful or not, good or bad or not.

    I went bra shopping last weekend. I went in expecting to spend $60. I wear a 38 DD and ended up buying a 40DDD sports bra. I absolutely need one that clasps, too. Well, I grabbed eight bras and ended up crying in the dressing room because NONE fit. I finally found one and am glad I went through the pain. As a bonus, I ended up paying less, only $46. Definitely spend more money on one bra rather than buying 4 of the same awful bra from Target. Just my opinon. :-)

    I second the Under Armour suggestions. I use to have to wear two bras, but my Under Armour sports bra gives enough support all by itself. I love it.
