Sports bra recommendations for high impact, large bust

I know we periodically go through this on the Forum, but I'd appreciate sports bra recommendations for a larger bust (32D-DD) and high impact. The ones I've been wearing have been discontinued, and new styles have appeared that I don't know anything about. Thanks for your recommendations!

I like Berlei by Berlei High impact.

There is also a Berlei electrifyI find them super supportive and I am a D cup. I think they are English. Not the prettiest but not the worst.

The one below from Lululemon is my current favourite . I wear a 34DD bra, even a DDD sometimes . This one is the best minimizer too, to the point where I want to wear it under everything - haha. It's super easy to get into because of the zip front.

I have linked the bra I’ve been using for running while nursing. At the moment I’m about a 30DD (bought size 32D, band runs small) and have zero bounce when running. It’s hard to get into/out of though. It is by Shock Absorber. You may be able to find it cheaper elsewhere, but I bought mine from Title Nine since customer service said I could actually try it out and return/exchange if it didn’t work for me.

Thanks so much, Sal, Lisa, and HJ. Those all look like they've got great potential.

I like the Prima Donna's underwire "The Sweater" bra.

Been on the hunt too! I've had good luck with Champion- but haven't bought any this year.

I've been nursing and running with the Le Mystere high impact sports bra, which is not a nursing bra but amazingly comfy and supportuve. I wear a 32 E (UK) and the fit and quality are marvelous. I didn't know if I'd like an underwire sports bra but I'm sold on it now. I'd wear it all the t in me if I didn't have to nurse!

32G here and Panache and Anita are my go-to choices.

My clients rave about Shock Absorber workout bras.

Everyone is raving about the Knix sports bra. I have heard a lot about it and am considering buying - look at the reviews!

Try Panache; I got mine via Nordstrom on sale, probably NAS. 28FF and 30F in different styles fit the same on me so you may need to try sister sizes.

I would suggest you to go for jockey brand sports bra.
They are super comfortable along with best for workouts.
It doesn't make your back area looks bulgy and has the perfect fiting.

The one below in finds is my most recent purchase, but I have a couple other that are similar - the underwire is on the outside so there's no chafing when you move. It is the kind where it's not really designed to show - I know a lot of people prefer those styles but I've never found one that eliminates bouncing for me.

Allie from Wardrobe Oxygen (36F) has a really in-depth review of sports bras she's tried (with pictures) & why they do/ don't work (she even goes into breast shape etc, so you may find it useful to compare these with your own figure):
https://www.wardrobeoxygen.com.....arge-bust/

As an aside, I like following Allie because she works out every day Mon-Fri whilst working & looking after her family. She shares her exercise routine/ tips on Instagram, & I honestly find it inspiring to see fitness advice from someone with a body & 'average' lifestyle like mine. Here's hoping her blog could be a useful resource to you in the future, too!
