Shock Absorber.
I’m an F/G and wear them for running and riding. Tried Enell too, but much prefer the shock absorber.

Anita Momentum sports bra. No bounce at all - even at a sitting trot. It is also very comfortable.
Another to add to the list http://www.cheatasport.com/sports-bras
I have a few of the Glamorise and really like them.
Enell is great, but not my favorite in the summer because it does not breathe well. I do LOVE the full back support. Takes the weight off my shoulders and my lower back. Why more bra manufacturers don’t do this is beyond me.
I’m also a titlenine fan. My goto store.
I just wore the Enell (had to buy a size larger) but I wasn’t in the saddle till 6 weeks after each pregnancy.
Haven’t tried Enells but I am a big fan of the Victoria Secrets stuff. Don’t go for pretty, go for the full support, high impact models. Not only do they work but they do seem to hold up well. My first one is about 3 years old, worn & washed every week. Unfortunately, they have dozens of styles and some of them are just silly (who wants to deal with all those little strappy pieces when you’re crawling in & out of a sports bra), so you kind’a got to try them on to figure out what works for your body shape.
Moving comfort fiona is the only sports bra I will wear. Great support!
FWIW, there’s a seller on Ebay- “sandjoutlet” or something like that, that sells Enell seconds for $36 or so. I have bought from there for years. I don’t care of there’s a stitch out of place and if the sizing is weird, it is clearly described. Sometimes having a bra a 1/2" bigger or smaller than the Enell sizes is just fine.
Theses look great and reasonably priced too! Thanks for sharing!
I had that issue I was training a severely neglected Tennessee Walker Morgan Arabian mix and boy oh boy was her gait crazy it felt like I was riding a jack hammer at the beginning then I went down to a deer hop but it didn’t get much better then that and at that time I didn’t have a sports bra of any kind.
one day our room mates daughter asked me if I wanted her sports bra she said it was too small I tried it and it fit nicely but just a tad too big lol. I’m a 34 D so I thought I’d look for some on ebay I found the perfect sports bra and I will never buy a different kind they are called coobie racer backs. it is recommended to buy a size bigger then what you wear though. My back didn’t hurt anymore after buying them and to be honest I thought they weren’t going to be all that great because I only spent 15 dollars for 6 of them but being in desperate need of sports bras I got them and now I recommend themto anyone looking for a good sports bra
I’m a big fan of the Moving Comfort Juno. Nothing moves and more comfortable than the Enell (nothing moves in them, either).
I finally started making my own. Of course this requires sewing skills, but it didn’t take me long to learn. I make them out of lulu lemon and Nike fabrics that you can buy on the bolt from designer fabric closeout warehouses. Maybe I should open a store…
Cheata Bra. It’s AH-mazing, pricey, but great.
Jumping in cause I tried the Cheata Bra and it was good compression but did nada for support for my 34E cups. I actually wore a Wacoal front zip sports bra with the Cheata over, I looked great but I could hardly breath :o. My main issue is being able to take a deep breath, I can’t ride if I can’t breathe. Anyway this bra is amazing for support, I forget I’m wearing it and I can breath, it doesn’t minimize at all though if that’s what your looking for

I still to this day swear by a well-fitting full coverage underwire bra with a compression bra over it. Encapsulation + compression. Not looking to anyone on this thread in particular, but the girls wearing a 32B talking about sport bras crack me up. Buy a mid level compression bra and be done with it.
I know there is a whole pile of posters here who will chase me out of town with burning spears for a) saying underwire and b) saying two bras. Maybe it is because I have always worn underwire - I don’t find it this instrument of torture that some women do. I also think it has to do with the fact that the majority of women in the US are wearing the wrong bra for their shape/size.
I had a major reduction done - and still wear underwire and two bras when I ride (it’s at least down from three). I spent a lot of time/pain/money to get these girls. I don’t want them hanging to my navel pretty much… ever.
Looks like this was a zombie thread resurrected by a spammer, but it’s a topic near and dear to my heart.
At a 34H (that’s an 8D), I HIGHLY recommend this bra: https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/panache-underwire-sports-bra-regular-plus-size/3235820?origin=leftnav&top=66&flexi=60185250_60185262&flexi=60196368_60196373&flexi=60196350_60196361&sort=PriceLowToHigh. It has been a miracle worker for me. It’s pricey but absolutely worth it.
Lmbo I just looked at when it was originally published 2009! Pretty sure that the OP has found her bra by now haha!!

I’m a 34E and I wear this one too for running and racing. I actually race in triathlons and swim in it as well; not what everyone would recommend (because it’s molded and might not dry quickly) but it’s so much more supportive than other bras that I am willing to risk some minor chafing. (Sprint distances so not sure it would hold up to a full marathon while wet without chafing.)
Pretty sure Title9 markets it as the Marvel Bra https://www.titlenine.com/product/marvel-underwire-bra-307200.do?sortby=ourPicksAscend&refType=&from=fn
