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. This type of support works especially well if you are looking for sports bras for running or other medium to high impact activities.
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):

After many years of this style being made, this is still the best sports bra around. I am a true 32 D, love high impact sports, but demands zero bounce. I'm always curious to see if there is anything new or better, but the Champion Action Shape is the best I've found for support. I am petite, so many others don't have enough adjustment in the shoulder straps & are too long. This has lots of adjustment whether you are tall or short. It is also great looking if this is all you wear for a run. Try to find it in colors! I cannot say enough good things about this one. Absolutely, try this sports bra if you are well endowed and trying to keep the sag away...
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.
This is absolutely the best bra for larger breasted women. I am a 34D and this bra holds the girls in place even when running cross country. No rubbing, no chafing, and everything stays in place.
I'm a 34DD equestrian and runner training for my first half marathon. I highly recommend this bra. It is better than the extreme Shock Absorber that I had before. It holds up better in washing and has virtually no bounce when running or horseback riding. The only bad thing I can say is that the overlay snap in the back comes undone all the time but that could be because I went a size smaller than I normally wear. My favorite thing about this bra, besides the great support, is that the band is snug but it still has enough stretch to not cause heartburn or pain across your sternum, or difficulty breathing. These are problems I had with the Shock Absorber. Anyway, I've have trouble finding a bra with no bounce, and I will be sticking with this one from now on.
