How To Choose A Good Sports Bra For Full Figures
When you are working out, you want to eliminate "bounce" as much as possible. This isn't too difficult if you are a size A or B, but once you get past a C cup bra size, getting the stabilization that you need in a sports bra can be challenging. You really need to select from sports bras for large breasts. There are many that are designed specifically for your needs.
Here is how to choose a good sports bra that will work for you.
Most sports bras for smaller figured women work on the compression method. They basically squoosh your chest flat. This works, but when you take that style into a D, DDD, or even F it doesn't work so well any more.
For a larger cup size, I prefer the divide and conquer type of sports bras. These are the types of bras that hold each breast still individually. As an added benefit they also look better on and give you a way better shape.
Another big difference in sports bras for fuller figured women is that they come in real bra sizes. If it doesn't don't buy it, it won't work as well.
Here is my favorite sports bra for a fuller figure (with real customer reviews):

Reviews
I ordered this bra based on the positive reviews of several women. I am a 38-40C, distance runner and gym rat. I LOVE this bra!!! It has the support and comfort that I have been looking for. I have always bought Champion bras but this is by far my favorite. I can't wait to try it during my next half marathon in March!!!
I've used this bra for several years. They are well constructed for the price point and I find them well supportive for high impact activities. Because I am bigger now after having kids ( went from a 36C to 38C/D), I find a little bit of a "uniboob" problem than before kids.
This is the best sports bra that I own. If you are like me, with large boobies, then this is a great buy! It was hard for me to find a sports bra for larger size breasts that didn't smash you and cut off your circulation. I use this bra for all of my physical activites and I don't feel ashamed or embarassed while out excersizing. I do not have to wear a 2nd bra and I don't have my DD's bouncing back and trying to knock me out (cuz they are real).
I usually use the really cute looking Nike sports bras that come in all different colors but I'm on a deployment and I didn't want to bring those with me. I ordered these because they looked basic and they weren't too expensive and they had good reviews. I LOVE THEM! I'm a runner and I wear a C/D cup and these bras are awesome. They give you so much support without smashing your boobs to your chest or creating the "uni-boob" that you get from most sports bras. I ran a few miles to test it out and had pretty much no bounce, the bra did exactly what you want a sports bra to do. I highly recommend these!
I am a 36 DD, and have a very hard time finding sports bras that actually work. No pull over the head ones for me. I am a horseback rider and 5 day a week runner, and play tennis and soccer, so I need a bra that will hold everything in place, no bouncing down the street. I had found this bra years ago in the mall and loved it, I bought 5. They lasted years with heavy wear. I had trouble finding them again however, as the stores in the mall no longer carried them. I tried a few other bras in the meantime, but none of them could compare to this one. Even my old worn out champion bras were better than any new ones I tried. I was so happy to find them online, and at half the price! For big busted women who want as little movement as possible, this is the only bra for you! I will never buy another type.
