Recently, my trainer videoed my dressage test in a lesson. When she asked what I thought about my ride, I replied “All I could see were blue boobs bouncing done center line”. I had on a blue shirt that day! Am now on the hunt for a true “no bounce” sports bra.
Price and appearance are not considerations. I want No Bounce!
Thanks!!
I saw someone suggest this one, I have no personal experience being not so generously endowed.

Enell. Ugly as sin. Extraordinarily effective.
CW-X or Moving Comfort. I absolutely love Moving Comfort. It comes in actual band+cup sizes, and has velcro adjustable straps. I tighten them for maximum suppot before I ride and let them out for comfort after I ride.
I recently bought a couple of panache sports bras after reading the bra threads on here. I really like them!
I like the Champion Shape bras, but they are sadly discontinued. A few can still be found on Amazon.
I love the Moving Comfort Juno. I’ve just ordered a Cheata to give it a try.
Comfortable, supportive…the girls stay in place and don’t move.
Enell will hold them still…but I found them to be very uncomfortable and hot. I called it the Iron Maiden. Absolutely hated the Enell.
Enell, for sure.
I wear a Shock Absorber tho. Ever so slightly less bounce control, but trade off is it’s more comfortable than the Enell.
Smartwool PHD racer back sports bra. The first time I wore one riding I was like, aaaahhhhhh :yes: It did take a few times wearing it to break in though (a bit tight at first).
Ill third the enells too. Great service too on returning wrong size etc when starting
Totally different direction here. I decided, on a whim, to try a champion sports bra OVER my regular one. They were on sale, in the $20 range. I have never moved on from this method after 4+ years. Though in Fla, I don’t find the combo overly hot, and the bounce is gone.
This one: if observant, can find on sale periodically. I’m cheap!
A well endowed friend of mine swears by the Cheata - she even wears them to work now as she’s a Radiology Tech and was having a hard time keeping decent under her scrubs. She’s an E or F cup, so I trust her judgement - I don’t have bounce issues with my small B/C cups.
there are many threads on the forums about bras, If you search you will get a lot of information
Enell is considered the top choice, though not attractive (who cares?)
Title 9 Sports is the best clearing house
it is, however, best to go someplace where you can be properly fitted. A great bra that is not fitted well is useless.

I have to say - this is has been my go-to method for years. The problem with most sport bras for those of us not flat chested girls is that they almost all focus on compression first. I have done much better with encapsulation first - then compression. One uniboob is much harder to control the bounce on rather than two. I don’t have the huge aversion to underwire that so many women seem to have - if it fits right, I never even notice it.
My go-to has been a VSX racerback with underwire that gives me some support, and good separation - then a champion over it. I find sport bras that are actually band and cup sized work much better for those of us that need true support.
I have tried several brands, and Champion (Maximum Support) has always fit me best. There are several good brands - but each person is built differently, so you really need to try them on!
Do agree with the comments that you need an actual cup size IF you are greater then and A or B cup.
I’ve tried Moving Comfort, Frog, Under Armour, and a few others (and have bought a few of those) and always go back to Champion. Watch for chafing - that was one problem I ran into with several sport bras.
I actually like the Danskins ones I can get from Walmart. They have a high impact one that zips up. They have band and cup size. Truthfully I have only found them in C or D cup. But they keep those puppies in place. I am fairly picky about sports bras. I have to be very careful with the racerback ones as they concentrate the weight on one spot on my spine too much and they can make me very sore.
I had an Enell. I only wore it in the winter before I shrunk out of it. It would imagine it would be very hot in the summer. I am planning on trying a Cheata for showing. I can only find the Danskins in purple and hot pink and the zipper makes a funny bump under my shirt.
Love this one: http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/wacoal-underwire-sports-bra/3006129?origin=category-personalizedsort&fashioncolor=NUDE
I like the Wacoal that Jarpur posted but prefer my Anitas.
I really like the Cheata …good fit and the video on their web site is great
