I remember reading on here, about a super wonderful sports bra.  I thought  Ihad bookmarked the site for it but now I can't find it.  I think someone had said it is the same kind that Oprah uses.... I just can't think of the name of it.
Can someone help me out?
Thanks,
Nicki

Nicki,

You'll find that people use lots of different ones and all use the ones they do because that's what works for them.  I have one that's a Moving Comfort brand and it's called the Fiona bra.  I like it, but it doesn't have a racer back so I don't wear it super often.  The ones I use most (I have 3 of them) are the Saucony Motion Sensor bra.  No matter what I use, I have to wear a compression tank with a built-in bra as well.  One just isn't enough for me since I was large before losing weight and am pretty saggy now.

The Enell brand, I've heard, is good as well, but I haven't used them just because I think they're ugly (I'm such a girl).

Try them out in the store if you can, and bounce up and down in the dressing room.  That's how I decide if it has enough support.

Champion makes some really great ones too. I found some ones at a Bali/Hanes outlet and they are for "maximum control" and they really do the job! I run and I haven't had a second of discomfort with them and zero chafing. I also don't get "uniboob" with them either.

I like Champion. I buy a size smaller, and wear an underarmor long sleeved shirt over it for added compresson. I have considered Duct Tape, but it leaves marks after you peel it off.

It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

Wish I could help. 
I know what always has worked best for me:  the smallest bra that fit that compresses boobs completely.  it's not pretty, but it keeps things in place!  a physical therapist suggested this to me.

You're thinking of Enell. www.enell.com

Yes, they're ugly, but do you plan on wearing it w/o a shirt? Not sure how big Linn's boobs are, but they support my D/DDs just fine! Only thing that does :(

Thanks All!  Sherry_Berry.... Enell is the one I was trying to think of - thanks!  i had to laugh when you said about wearing it without a T-Shirt until I looked at the website and realized that ALL the women on there are going WITHOUT a t-Shirt!  So funny!
Thanks again all!

My wife and I went to a Fleet Feet in Winston-Salem, NC and she tried on bra's and ended up buying a Champion. She is wonderfully well endowed. :) Her advice is go to a running store and try some on. Fleet Feet is a national chain.

I wear two.  One normal but good support bra (I am a 38/DD or DDD) and then a standard underarmor or champion bra over it..a size smaller (like one made for c/d cup or a large when I am a xl on top.  It really does the job, I dont bounce at all but still look like I have boobs. 

I love how those women are wearing those ugly bras without tops on!  Soooo funny!  I am thinking I might try one though...with t-shirt over the top!
