    Sports bras for larger boobs??

    I know this has been done before, but can I ask for some advice/suggestions?

    I'm a 32E, and struggle to find a sports bra suitable for high impact such as running (ok, very occasionally ) and Zumba (every week ). I've recently got this one from M&S http://www.marksandspencer.com/Plain..._rd_s=center-3, which is ok, but doesn't really hold the in place!

    I tried a Shock Absorber a few months ago, but nearly dislocated a shoulder putting it on, and was scarily close to having to ask for assistance to get it off , so I don't really fancy that one.

    Any suggestions?

    I think you need to go to a good independent shop and get fitted properly.

    I'm a similar size 30F/32E and do struggle a bit. I used to use a really old fashioned Triumph bra (Doreen) for sports and it was great but the smallest back is now a 34. I have a couple now that do the job - not specifically sports bras but good fitting supportive bras.

    I never like the schock absorber ones and find that M&S ones don't fit so well (but maybe that's just my shape?)

    Hoe you find the right thing for you.

    They do different kinds of shock absorber though so maybe a different one? They are the only things that control me!! I'm an F - I run. Also wearing 2 bras is good - I used to wear a wonderbra under a supportive sports top

    I like this one: http://www.bravissimo.com/products/l...sort=1&level=1. Keeps everything firmly in place without squishing everything together. But it is underwired so may not be for everone.

    I'm not particularly bosomy, but I do a lot of high-impact workouts so investigated bras fairly thoroughly! I have this and this. They are both very good at bounce/movement reduction, but for comfort the Triumph bra wins out. It's got light padding on the shoulder straps and a lot of thought has gone into making sure the fit and shape are good. It doesn't shift even during a particularly intense workout, it's cool to wear and is actually quite flattering when on. The only downside is that it's quite low-cut; this doesn't bother me but if you wear low-cut tops then you might feel a bit too exposed for comfort.

    I find they come up spot-on for sizing although some people find the cup sizes to be a bit on the generous side.

    I am an E and love love the shock absorber one. No movement at all, wonder if I can get something similar for my belly

    Enell bras are the best I've ever tried. I was running before I fell pregnant and it held my H cup boobs in place really well!

    I can also highly recommend Enell. Nothing else has come close to the level of support - there is literally no movement at all! The fit takes some getting used to as it does feel a bit like industrial scaffolding, but I wouldn't use anything else now (I am also a 32E).

    I didn't go for the Enell in the end (I think I was a bit put off by the look of it! ), but I'm wishing I had now ... Oh well, I'll see how I get on with the ones I've ordered, and hold that in reserve.
