The hands down best sports bra I have ever owned is the Under Armor bra that has the zip front. Amazing support and it does not flatten out the boobs at all. I bought them at Sports Authority. They are $55 but worth every penny.

I usually just wear a regular bra with no underwires or side stays for exercise. The sports bras really aren't comfortable if you're really large on top.

Here is a summary on all of the info I have received on supportive sports bras over the years
Bra sized sports bras offer a much better fit, especially if you are over about a DD. So I can't personally recommend Moving Comfort or Enell, but I have heard they are good.

I personally use Freya and Shock Absorber, which are bra sized and come in a range of types and impact levels. I also find them comfy.

Standard Sized Bra (32B-38DD or so): Try Target's Champion sports bras, Moving Comfort, Enell or Under Armour *
Full Bust (28DD-38H or so): Shock Absorber, Freya, Panache*
Full Figured (Over 36-46 band, varying cups): Lane Bryant, Elomi, Glamorise
Above a J: No clue

* Sizes up to about an F or maybe G tend to be available in stores. Larger sizes are rarely available at retail stores.

Try Shock absorber. These are comfortable and supportive. Comes in a good variety of sizes.

I got a nice one from Lane Bryant and then one from Target. So far I haven't used them but I'm going to work out tomorrow so I'll try one then.

Thanks for all the feedback!

I'll go to Academy Sports and Outdoors tomorrow. They have several good brands to choose from, and according to the website, several "bigger sizes." I was thinking of getting bras with frontal zip but I don't know if it's resistant enough?
