    I don't have an enormous chest - I'm a 36D, but I still found myself avoiding more strenuous exercise because I didn't want to deal with the pain and or the embarassment of having to hold my chest when I did jumping jacks.  I recently started exercising and after two weeks of less strenuous exercise, I started doing research into better sports bra - and I found the Champion power back.

    It's not the easiest bra to get into, but once it's on, I can keep up with Jillian Michaels rather than quitting halfway through! 

     What's the best sports bra you've found?

    Might have to seek out one of those, I do a full workout but there's no jogging or running in it because of my girls! I found the Berlei shock absorber ok, but still not enough. Annoying, isn't it!

    @aunt pol: Horribly annoying!  I saw the shock absorber, but I'll admit I wasn't willing to pay that much for a bra.

    I love shock absorber.  I get the ones for super heavy excersice and the ones for less intesive excercise.  I like them both.  You can get them on ebay for less than what yo uwould pay in stores.

    I absolutely love Victoria's Secret sports bras that have little fasteners on the side.  Not a thing in the world is moving under that bra.

    I MUST look into this! I'm wearing 2-3 sport bras right now cause I can't reall seem to find one that offers enough support. Sigh. 36DDs are awful, I want a reduction but I have such a low pain tolerance that the recovery would be a bitch!

    I love Moving Comfort sports bras!  Yes, they are expensive.  The investment is totally worth it to be able to run without grabbing my boobs or dealing with the bounce!

    I must also look into this!  I usually double up too - it seems to be the only way to control the ladies from going all over the place!

    @KMSull: Yeah the recovery is not enjoyable.  My mom had a reduction and she had to have drains and everything.  Yuck.

    I think I have this one too (the champion one)!  There are no logos on mine so I can't be sure.  Mine is difficult to get in and out of too at first, because it is not stretchy and has a hook and eye back, but it got much better as I got more used to it.  My ladies still bounce, but not as much :)

    Considering most companies don't make sports bras (or any bras) for 32G/H I'm greatful when I find ones that do a moderate job at reducing the bounce in a size that is close- though watching videos of me ride is the funniest thing ever and I'm just greatful they move in unison.

    Solid Tech Athena Bra

    Bounceless Bra

    Both from Title Nine, they do a decent job. I just hate the seams across the bust.

    @Dragonsus: Do you have a link to the website? I need that bra!

     

    I always double up or triple up--I would love to get the link for this one. Thank you!
