Default Any recommendations for sports bras?

I am a 38DDD and can't find a sports bra with enough support. I'd really like to start jogging regularly but even when I wear 2 sports bras, I am afraid of ending up with 2 black eyes. I've tried Donna Karen and Lane Bryant, I usually wear them both at the same time and I still feel like I'm bouncing all over the place. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried Victoria Secrets, they make a really good sports bra. Other than that my favorite bra is Champion Cool Max-- I don't know if they make it anymore.

I only wear champion, too. Some of mine are really old, but they're better than any of the one's I've tried. Usually 'designer' ones like Donna Karan don't offer bounce support.

Another option is Wacoal. Just their regular bras. I heard Oprah rave about them years ago. While I'm not one of those people who runs out and buys everything Oprah recommends, I have to admit, Wacoal was a GOOD suggest.

Those things will STRAP YOU DOWN. ZERO BOUNCE. Plus under clothes, they 'reduce' you a bit. They're pricey, but worth every penny. (and no monoboob under workout clothes)

At that size... www.enell.com for high impact --- not esp pretty but it holds the girls in!

Try www.title9sports.com too -- I find their bra ratings reliable. Their "Frog" bra is great if you are in the size range for it.

GL!

I love my Champion bras. I'm a bit smaller now, but when I started to exercise I needed a 42 DD, and they did a great job of controlling the bounce even then.

I'm a big fan of Champions too. I don't like the ones from Target, I like the real ones from their website. I think they have a sale right now.

I just got two of the marathon ones and I LOVE THEM. But I am not large-breasted, so I don't know if they'd be right for you or not. But they have an excellent selection.

Title9.com rates sports bras by dumbells depending on how much support you need, you might try there too!

I've been using a Champion sports bra for a few months and I'm pretty impressed. I'm a 36D (down from 38-yay!) and that thing really holds those suckers down! It's not even close to pretty, lol, but it gets the job done. GL!

Not a sales plug or anything (since I sell Avon)-- the "old" non-Target Champion bras that are priceier are available in Avon. The Moisture Wicking bra sells fro $23.99, and the Action Tech Sports Bra sells for $19.99... Just call your rep if you are interested in getting them, or if shoot me a PM and I can put in an order for you.

I've been thinking about investing in one of these. My champions are starting to wear out, and I want some non-monoboob alternatives...

Did you see this on the Enell.com site:
