I wear quite a large cup size--32F or G depending on the brand. I also like high impact dance, jump roping, ploys, etc. The sports bras I found so far that work for me:
*Freya Active-- This is my favorite, it is underwire though, it looks really good under clothes so sometimes I wear it as a regular bra. This is the first sports bra that I've liked with normal clothing. http://www.amazon.com/Freya-Maximum-...eya+sports+bra *I just bought this one on sale in a local shop and it also supportive and it looks nice under t-shirts--it gives a very smooth line like a t-shirt bra. It is also underwire, I know that is a deal breaker for some people. It is Le Mystere Womens Energie Freestyle Sport Bra. http://www.amazon.com/Le-Mystere-Wom...+mystere+sport *Shock Absorber -- I have one of these that is nice, I also have one that offers very little support. The low support one said it was for yoga, weight lifting, pilates, etc. It is comfie--but I don't exercise in it I only wear it as a lounge bra. The supportive one said something like "level 4" high impact. It is very covering and shows under many v-neck or tank tops.http://www.amazon.com/Shock-Absorber...ref=pd_sim_a_6 I have noticed for larger cups sizes with smaller back/rib sizes the UK brands do really well. So Freya, Fantasy, Shock Absorber, Triumph, and others I can't think of. But the sizing is slightly different so you probably want to try them on if you are unfamiliar--the cup size is either a size smaller or bigger--I forget which. |

Goddess. (I'm a 34DD. I always wear a bra top over it; although I didn't when running a 5K recently, and the support was fine then, too.)

Not large-chested here, but I'd like to put a plug in for buying clothes on zappos. Their prices are usually higher but the fast & free shipping and returns can make it worthwhile. It's also easy to sort by type, size and brand.
I'm a 36B and can get away with buying L or XL uniboob/pancake flattening bras at target & kohl's (I guess I must have a large ribcage). However, I do buy some of my workout pants/tops (patagonia, moving comfort, ryka, nike) and casual wear on zappos. |

This may be a "uniboob" bra (I'm not sure what that is) BUT it is the best sports bra I've ever tried! I'm a 36 DD/E.
http://www.movingcomfort.com/Fiona/3...efault,pd.html I have had the worst luck with Shock Absorber, perhaps because I'm short and they seem cut for much taller people. For whatever reason, I've found several of their highest impact bras less supportive than the plain, old, ordinary Wonderbra style I wear every day. Useless for high impact, anyway. |

Title Nine Sports has a great selection of sports bras. They rate them according to support. www.titlenine.com. My favorites are what they call the "Last Resort" (Enell) and the "Seven Wonders" (Moving Comfort).
