I'm a big fan of Berlei, I think it's called. That horrible tennis woman advertises them.

I am not big, but they certainly do big, and they do special models with more support for bigger norks.

I am a 32 dd and I find going a size smaller in the nike is great for really high impact. I use a size 10 and it really pack em in, plus make sure you go for one that has a broad comfortable elastic under bust. will find a link to good ones.....

\link{http://www.undercoverexperience.co.uk/bersho.htm\the top one is exactly like mine}
that is a shock absorber one, it seems nmy nike on is soooo last season. But the top one there has everything your looking for! would try a 10/12 and boounce when your trying!

There are reviews on the Runners World website. \link{http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/review/reviewcategory.asp?RGN=2&RCN=7&cat=Sports-bras&v=1&sp=\here}

I have a Sportjock, from \link{http://www.wiggle.co.uk\Wiggle}. I have the smaller cup size one, so I can't vouch for the bigger size one, but mine's brilliant.

NotQuiteCockney · 22/03/2006 10:46

Berlei make Shock Absorbers. They certainly do some quite big sizes, and I'm quite fond of their bras.

jayjaybaby · 22/03/2006 10:47

ima 34 hh and i get mine from bravissimo its the black one that looks like a sports top really comfy

beetroot · 22/03/2006 10:58

the enell sprots bra does the best. The shock absorbers dont seem to.

JJ, I have a bravissimo one 'impact free' and it is not brill for running or aerobics

i read an interview with lorraine kelly the other day, she says she wears two sports bras at the same time to avoid nork bounce..

beetroot · 22/03/2006 11:01

i have heard of that before bundle.

\a gentle bounce....}

It's a good idea to order a few online and see what works best.

I'm a 36F and don't like any of the sports bra with cups, ie that look like an ordinary bra.

The crop style ones anchor mine best, are comfier round the rib cage and reduce the "bounce" much more when I'm doing higher impact stuff.

I have two from adidas, with a criss cross back and they are great, but I had to try on a few to find something suitable.

puff · 22/03/2006 11:48

The sportjock bra for bigger cup sizes (on the wiggle site) looks good - I might order one as one of my adidas bras needs replacing
