I like New Balance Tonic Sports Bra (not the same as Crop Top), the standard Champion compression, the Moving Comfort Aurora (which may be discontinued) and an UnderArmor which is discontinued (it was the reversible one).

I have both the underwire and non-underwire styles; I have a slight preference for the underwired version, but really both are great for support and minimising bounce. Plus there's a good range of colours too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-recs-for-sports-bras#post-400704 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 03:47:40 +0000 Rose 400704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth, this is a topic dear to my heart (haha, literally).. i am a distance runner (and size 32 F or 34 DD) and I wear the shock absorber posted by dashrashi above and I also have the freya sports bra. Both are great for me in my very high impact sport and I have tried a lot of other bras.. I used to wear the frog bra (title9) but they discontinued it. I don't like their other bras for high impact activities (for my size, anyway). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-recs-for-sports-bras#post-400685 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 03:00:29 +0000 Beth 400685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you all are awesome! Thanks!</p> <p>I'm going to spend some time checking these out tomorrow~ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-recs-for-sports-bras#post-400674 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 02:50:05 +0000 Mo 400674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just wanted to add that if you're using it mainly for playing tennis, watch for underwires, especially if they are tall - that could be quite uncomfortable with the side to side movement. I use mine for running mainly, so seam chafing is most important to me, next to a closure that allows me to strip off the sweaty mess easily when I'm done. Helps to use the bra best fit for the activity at hand </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-recs-for-sports-bras#post-400660 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 02:05:43 +0000 renae 400660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are looking for something inexpensive, try Champion. I buy them at Target. I wear a C, wear them while running, and have no trouble with bounce. There are probably different styles. I buy the thicker ones, which look more supportive. And they are! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-recs-for-sports-bras#post-400639 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 01:43:19 +0000 Kari 400639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Especially if you can find a killer sale on it, I highly recommend this sports bra by Freya: <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/freya-active-aa4002-underwire-sports-bra/3146995?cm_cat=datafeed&#038;cm_ite=freya_&#039;active_aa4002&#039;_underwire_sports_bra:255205_1&#038;cm_pla=underwear/lingerie:women:bra&#038;cm_ven=Froogle&#038;mr:referralID=NA&#038;mr:trackingCode=64834E6F-1968-DF11-9DA0-002219319097" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/fr.....2219319097</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-recs-for-sports-bras#post-400631 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 01:18:43 +0000 elpgal 400631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have one from Shock Absorber but I don't want to recommend it because of the aforementioned sweaty-boob problem.</p> <p>The absolute best bra I have tried is an Enell and Enell Lite. No bounce at all. But, it comes up high on your chest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-recs-for-sports-bras#post-400629 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 01:14:14 +0000 Atlantia 400629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been a 32D and a 36D. Either way I vote for the Moving Comfort Fiona. I'm a triathlete, so I ask a lot of my sports bras.<br /> My favorite part? They hook in the back, so no strange contortions trying to get out of a sweaty bra! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-recs-for-sports-bras#post-400618 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 00:56:36 +0000 Janet 400618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Lululemon Ta-Ta Tamer is good (I've been wearing a 34D but I suspect it's about time to start trying 32Ds). I also have a decent sports bra from Soma, and I've had good luck with the Moving Comfort brand. I'm just about to retire my MC bra that I've been using for 3 years. I hate uniboob/shelf looking bras, so I choose ones with underwire. Title Nine does have a good selection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-recs-for-sports-bras#post-400484 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 20:22:13 +0000 nancylee 400484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love my Wacoal sports bra. I run every other day and it really holds me together! It does run a little small, though. Usually, I wear a 32C but I wear a 32D in this bra.

I'm a 30F or 32E and she is a 32G or 32GG. I wear only the Shock Absorber 4490 and recommended it to many F and up friends including my BFF who wears it for zumba class. I can run in this bra and have almost no movement at all. In the larger cup sizes (either DD or E) it has an extra clip in the middle to add firmness to the fit.</p> <p>I've tried many sports bras and have ended up with 4 of this style in varying colors (coral/black, green/black, black/white) and it is the only one I wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-recs-for-sports-bras#post-400359 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 17:54:43 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 400359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the Title 9 catalog - they've got a huge selection of sports bras with great descriptions. I think their website might have reviews, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-recs-for-sports-bras#post-400324 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 17:03:41 +0000 MsMary 400324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Moving Comfort sports bras. The Maya, in particular, can double as a cami. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-recs-for-sports-bras#post-400304 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 16:34:12 +0000 Dashrashi 400304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have these:</p> <p><a href="http://www.barenecessities.com/anita-maximum-control-extreme-control-no-wire-sports-bra-5527_product.htm?pf_id=Anita5527" rel="nofollow">http://www.barenecessities.com.....=Anita5527</a><br /> This one is fine, but not great. The chief selling point is that you can machine wash it without fear since it's wireless.</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/shock-absorber-d-max-support-sports-bra-n109-white" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/shock-ab.....n109-white</a><br /> This one...they really don't move. (Okay, they move a teeny bit. But really, not that much at all.) I had to size way up to make sure I didn't get popping-out bits around the top and sides (I take a 32DDD/F in Chantelle etc and in the Shock Absorber, the best fit was the 32GG. I know. Insane.) The chief downside to this one is that, like the Anita, it doesn't keep things separate, so you get sweaty in your cleavage which is very, very uncomfortable. On the other hand, you can machine-wash it, which is a big win.</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/le-mystere-energie-sport-bra-320-heather" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/le-myste.....20-heather</a><br /> This one is probably my favorite. It's not hideous on, it has an underwire, it keeps everything separate, and it is really a bounce-stopper when you cross the back straps. (I sized up a size in this--to a 32G. But I think Le Mystere runs small generally.) The downside to this is washing it. It's an underwire, so you want to handwash it, and it takes forever to dry because of how the cups are lined. My solution was to buy two. Sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/any-recs-for-sports-bras#post-400303 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 16:29:30 +0000 Sarah 400303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a huge Lulu fan, but for any high intensity workouts, I always grab my UA "Duplicity" bras.<br /> <a href="http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4039247&#038;cp=4406646.4413874.11400128.11024933.11181116.11181241" rel="nofollow">http://www.dickssportinggoods......6.11181241</a><br /> They are reversible, and I think that gives double coverage.
