Best Sports Bras for a Big Bust

One of the most frustrating things about working out when you have large breasts is when you are wearing the wrong bra. It is so uncomfortable when you are doing some high impact workouts and the girls are bouncing all over the place. In fact it can be painful! I have caught myself when I am wearing the wrong bra and I have to hold the girls and sacrifice my workout in favour of being uncomfortable.

I have tried a bunch of sports bras some are amazing, some do the job but are so not flattering, others are just a disappointment.

These are the Best Sports Bras for a Big Bust.

1. Shock Absorber Ultimate Run Bra

This is hands down the most supportive bra I own. It is also the most constricting. If you want a bra that you can run and do high impact exercises and feel absolutely no movement this is the bra for you. It does still give you uni-boob so don’t buy this bra if you want to look cute at the gym. I also found the straps a bit hard to adjust. Still, every review I have ever read for this bra says the same thing – you will not jiggle with this bra.

2.  Wacol Sport Underwire Bra

This is actually my favourite sports bra right now. It lifts and separates which MANY sports bras do not do. I am not sure why uni-boob is such a thing with sports bras. While it does not eliminate all movement like the Shock Absorber, there is minimal movement and I feel comfortable running or doing jumping jacks with this bra. For me it is the best of both worlds.

3. Wonderbra Wire Free Sports Bra

Don’t want underwire but still want your boobs lifted and supported while bouncing around at the gym? This is a good option. Because there is no underwire I do find that my boobs are a bit pointier with this bra. Kinda like something out of the 1950’s but it does a decent job of reducing the jiggle whilst getting my jumping jack reps in.

4. C9 Champion Women’s High Impact Moulded Sports Bra

I picked up a few of these at Target before they left Canada in the spring. I am sure that some of them were in the wrong pile because I have one that is amazing, one that is alright and one that is miserable. I am sure the one that isn’t as supportive is a lower impact version of the same bra. This is essentially your typical shelf sports bra. Lots of uni-boob going on with this option but it is the most affordable of the bunch and does a good job of minimizing jiggle. I would argue that there are more expensive bras out there that don’t do as good of a job that this one does for $20.

5. Lululemon Ta Ta Tamer

This is one of the first high impact bras for large chests I ever bought. I bought it specifically for running because my other bras just were not comfortable running. While I don’t reach for it as often as my Wacol bra, it is still a good option. Better lifting and separating than the Champion or Shock Absorber. But not as much support as the Shock Abosorber which is the best at that by far.

So there you have it, my list of Best Sports Bras for a Big Bust. I have a D to E size cup depending on the brand so I feel like I have a decent idea of what will work for a large chest.

I have worn and own all of these and made sure to try them out more than once. As I mentioned above the Wacol bra is my favourite, and honestly can be worn under regular clothes without it looking or feeling like you are wearing a sports bra.
