Best sports bra for HIIT and fairly abundant bust

My sports bras are all gradually giving up the ghost and the elastic and I desperately need a new one. However, not being able to go around the shops to try on I’m at a bit of a loss and looking for recommendations.

I am an E cup and of late have been doing a few HIIT workouts (eg. Jillian Michaels etc) and really need a bra that gives me support and holds my boobs in place. I also do Martial arts training and am planning on going back once I can access a gym again.

I’ve used Nike in the past as at the time they worked the best, I’ve also tried Adidas (only good for sedate walks and yoga) and Shock absorber (good initially but seemed to lose its elastic super quickly). That said it’s been several years since I’ve bought a sports bra, perhaps technology has moved on?

I looked at options online and was both impressed by the apparent choice for the bustier athlete and dubious about the claims of firm support (the comments appeared all to be from women with max a B cup, not besmirching women with B cups but the challenges are different).

Can anyone give me any pointers?

I’m an E cup and I swear by these:

Annoyingly they don’t do as many of the nice patterns anymore but they are very supportive, and I’ll be buying more as soon as the ones I’ve got have given up the ghost.

I pop a £6 running bra from Decathlon over my normal bra Blush I am of very ample chest and currently breastfeeding, works fine for me for running/HIIT/general cardio.

Panache

I bought a boobuddy band during lockdown to go over my existing sports bras (which are getting a little old and need to be replaced). It has been fab and has seen me through until the shops open after lockdown. I'm not great at buying bras online and tend to prefer trying a wide range on in the shops.

I can't imagine running without my band now.
