    I recommend going in and get measured for a fit. That makes for a great difference. I use a very basic bra. It is a Wonderbra Sports
    WonderBra® High-impact Bra - Sears - Sears Canada

    I would like to find one of those bras where I do not need a shirt over but every time I try one on I do not think it provides enough support or it looks like I am squeezed into something I should not be into. But maybe I will find one one day

      Don't know your sizing but I love the Enell brand. Best sports bra ever but not anything pretty. They are designed for large busts but if you are at least a C cup you can fit into one. They need to be worn tight to keep you from bouncing.

        I am still on the prowl for a good running sports bra for large chested women and to this day have not found a good one yet. The only thing that works for me and for my budget has to get two tank style sports bras (medium to high impact if possible) and layer them, scwooshing me in and keeping the girls in line lol. I have not tried any of the expensive sports bras yet ($60 and such) because my budget just doesn't allow for it since I wear out my bras faster than any other clothing item I wear...I run a lot and I hate bounce so my D-DD girls need support! lol. So far I have tried a good support bra that zipped up the front and it was terrible. For one, the zipper chafed me terribly after only 2 miles and on a 6 miler, it was brutal and I was bleeding by the time I got home (ugh) and after trying that same bra again (giving it another chance) and layering over another tank type bra to avoid the chafing, I was running a 2 mile interval session last night at the gym and the most embarrassing thing happened: After 15 mins, it decided to just....unzip! Yikes. I can't pause my workout for longer than 30 secs on the gym TM's so I had to sort of have my arms up to support myself for the last half mile and then carefully and discretely walk to the restroom and fix my debacle! It was HORRIBLE. I will never wear that bra again and I was dumb enough to buy TWO of them. Too bad I can't return then after sweating and bleeding in them. I guess you get what you pay for. So I am just sticking with layering two regular sports bras, it's always comfortable and its always supportive enough I just wish I didn't have to wear two!!! Someday I might take a chance on one of the $60 types...but hard to say. Such horror stories so far...*shudder*
