    what a great question!!!!!

    i found the best sports bra in the world. im a 38dd or a 36ddd. you can get this bra at victoria secret or im sure you can order it online. its, of all names, called a SHOCK absorber and is endorsed by anna kournikova.
    here is a link
    www.shockabsorber.co.uk/bounceometer/shock.html

      Hey! I was just looking at those at VS wondering if they were really good or not... I used the VS full-coverage satin bras for working out since they actually provided more support than the sports bras I found... well, and then I found the Champion ones which actually fit really well...

      Ohmygod. That site has my boobies bouncing all over the place. It's kinda scary.

          I have found that wearing a regular bra over my sports bra gives me great support. I had a breast reduction 2 years ago, but still need a lot of support as I am a DD. I have also tried layering sports bras and this works too.

            I've never worn the regular one over the sports one, I've worn it under it though and that worked pretty well.

              I used to always wear the sports bra over the regular bra, but somehow when you reverse it, especially if the regular bra is an underwire, it is so comfortable and supportive as backwards as it sounds.

                  I'd recommend the Enell bra from the US. I got one when I was 40DD and it's fab. It's not a separate cup one (like is recommended for bigger sizes) but it works better than anything else I've tried. I'ts way to big now, though, so I need to replace it soon.

                      trapped in here - officially, I'm a 36G, but can wear a DD if absolutely necessary. Try www.bravissimo.com really great site. noy only do they have sports bras, but they also have clothes tailored for our bodies (imagine..a shirt that doesn't gap across the chest AND still fits in the shoulders!!)

                        You know what's funny? Those enell bras are made in the small podunk town where I live, here in MT! Their office is only a few blocks away. I've heard a TON of good things about them (yeah they were on Oprah) and I knew a person who SWORE by them!

                          OMG Thank you so much for the website cocobelle!! I'm going to spend the whole night on here. I'm glad to know that someone else out there has a G cup. I was starting to feel like a mutant

                            I'm only a 34c, so i can't speak for the large sizes, but I have gone thru several sports bras for running (i can't stand bouncing!), and I've found the best ones to be a brand called Bestform that I get at walmart. They have several different styles, from max support to light (for yoga etc) and they also have an underwire model that I love. They cost about $16 here (that's canadian). IMO they're far superior to the Champion bra that I spent $65 on at a running store.

                            I find wearing a fitness tank top (with the built in support/bra) over it helps too.

                              trappedinhere - the clothes can be pricy [unless you hit the sales], bit I absolutely LIVE in their clothes. I got the wrap dress, and always get compliments. It makes me feel sexy, but not tarty, you know?
