What Kind Of Sports Bra Is Best For Running
OK, Ladies... I am sure you know that running is a high impact sport, and if you are a woman who is built like me you may very well be looking for no bounce sports bras to keep everything in place so running doesn't hurt. Some people believe that their is no difference between sports bras, but I couldn't disagree more. There are ones that are way better than others.
How to choose a sports bra for running
For running you are going to want a high impact sports bra. Something that will really keep your girls still. That means you are going to need compression. The amount of compression that you will need varies, depending on the size of your breasts. The larger your cup size the more compression you will need to keep your breasts from bouncing. Here are some of the best sport bras for large breasts - runners and others who do high impact activities will find these to work very well.
My personal preference in a sports bra is to go with the divide and conquer method. Here is a good example of one like that.

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.

As you can see by the customer comments this is a good full support sports bra. It really helps to eliminate bounce when you are jogging.
Here are some things I always look for when purchasing a good sports bra for jogging or running.
I always want to see if the sports bra is really a sports bra or just a fashion bra disguised as a sports bra. I can often tell this from checking out Amazon.com and looking at the customer comments. What I am looking for is women commenting on whether or not the sport bra for sale actually reduces bounce.
The next thing I look for personally (because I am VERY vain) is how the sports bra looks. I personally want it to look cute enough that I can wear it without any additional clothes overtop of it. If you always wear a shirt over your sports bra than this is no big deal.
Lastly, I check out what it is made of. I want the materials to be either mostly cotton, or one of the new moisture wicking fabrics that are on the market today.
That is how I pick out a sports bra for running, hopefully these tips helped you as well.
