This bra runs extremely small! I normally wear a 32 DD, and I could not even buckle this bra. I need about 4 more inches to get the clasps to reach each other. So I'm not even sure if the cup was accurate, but I think I will try a DDD, and will go up to at least a 36.

I wanted to love this bra, as I would like a racerback, however this contraption is ridiculous. I couldnt even get myself into it. I ended up with cramps in my hands after trying too many times. As a large busted, full figured woman, this just would not do. I need to be a contortionist to put it on. Disappointed. It felt like it would have good support if I could utilize it. I thought I could keep the upper half locked and then slip into it, but that did not work. Sad for me.

HOLY GRAIL combination for my 28HH bust. I need to wear a Shock Absorber Multi-Sport Max in 30HH with my Shock Absorber Ultimate Run bra in 32 G over the top. This combination gives me "a-ha-ha-ha 100 % bounce-free, ultra-supreme supportive, rock-star RUN a marathon bra comfort and performance! I am 5'3 and 120 pound hourglass and fit. I also love the Embody bra by Brooks Moving Comfort in 32 G. I layer one of my shock absorbers over the top of it for 100% bounce-free, support for marathons. It is not easy finding the support you need out there. But I found it! I have been wearing 28HH in Freya, Panache and Curvy Kate bras from European manufacturers for decades because they cater to larger chested women! When I am 108 pounds I love the Brooks Moving Comfort JUNO in 32 E for marathons!

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
Great bra. Limited bounce with HIIT and running. Not super stylish but does what it's supposed to do. Can be tough to snap on top, but does not move.

This bra is difficult to put on and fits tight, but if you wear a C or larger cup and you don't want to bounce, this is the one for you.

I'm on my umpteenth version of this bra. I'm a 36E in this bra (a 36G in Wacoal). I've just run my 17th Half Marathon and would not have been able to do it without this bra. Thank goodness for Shock Absorber. Every now and then I toy with another brand or another size and I always come back to these. These are not the bras for wearing around the house: They are not comfortable except when exercising when they hold everything in place for as long as you need. The material is nice and washes well. These bras last a long time, especially if you wash in a lingerie bag.

By far my favorite sports bra. I've recently resumed running and wanted to get a couple new sports bras. I'm a 38D in this one and most regular bras as well. I already had on of these that I really liked, but I decided to try several of the bras highly rated for D+ sizes. None of them worked as well for me as this one did - those went back and ordered another of these. I marked it down one star for comfort, but not sure that's completely fair because I've never found any sports bra that was something you'd want to wear for longer than necessary, though this one is pretty close.

I love that this bra has large cup options and can be worn with racerback tops. I hate that it only goes up to a 38. I need a 40.

I do Crossfit and this is the ONLY bra I can wear. Nothing moves. Amazing support. Don't have to 'readjust' in the middle of a workout. Put it on and go no worries. It does run tight in the band so you might want to size up and cup-size down since they don't stretch much. Definitely recommend for those DD+!

It works! I am pretty thin but have a very large bust for my frame, 36D. I do not move around in this bra at all when running and it gives a lot of coverage with lower exercise tops, can hook together (in fact it is supposed to be hooked in the back) so it does not show through most running tops/however, it can be worn unhooked, under a tank type running top as well. It is the best running bra that I have ever purchased. It is expensive but well worth the price!

Absolutely love this bra for running & CrossFit. While it can be more time consuming to put on - the extra time is worth it. Had to order more as my bra size has changed. Definitely worth investing in these "puppies."

I've been looking for a job bra (with the intention of running - not that I currently am but it's high on the to do list). I wear a 38D in the Natori performance sports convertible underwire bra and found 38D to work in this brand and style too. When I jump, nothing moves. That was my main objective in getting this bra but it's also comfortable (so once more are in stock I'm getting another one). For some reason from the look of this bra I didn't think it would work for me but I ordered anyway based on the other reviews and I'm glad I did. I've been wearing a too small old sports bra that was preventing motion just because it was too small (which meant that some jiggle stuck out above - attractive). This bra doesn't smash my boobs as much (so again I didn't think it would provide enough support) but nothing moves when I jump or run. Yes, it's very expensive - but I've given up on trying to go the cheap route with bras.

A great rebounders bra! I love this bra, I bought 3 different bras to try (rebounders need max, max support) and this is by far my favorite. You can hook up the top for max support or not. When I bought this bra, I did not connect the top. When I did, it was way to binding for me, but I have since dropped a bra size and now when I use this bra, I connect the top and I have all the support I need. Also, I found this bra to be true to size.

Love this sports bra. I now have 3 of them. It was tricky learning how to secure the top strap in the back but so worth it.

Good bra, but it's very very hard to close in the back. I wish they put in a front closure instead, but that might jeopardize the comfort and support.

This is an AMAZING bra. This is my 2nd shock absorber bra. I ran a marathon with my first. No chaffing, rubbing, or pain. (Moving comfort bras don't work as well and hurt when running more than 7 miles) This bra easy to get on and off. It looks good. It fits great. I am a big busted gal and love the support this provides. I will never buy a different brand of sports bra. Zappos was great. I ordered it in two different sizes and kept the one that fit best. I will continue to order sports bras here in the future. The price was great and the service was impeccable. I can't say enough about the shock abosrber. It's well worth the investment.

Okay, I am a 36G late onset runner so I know bras for big girls. These babies have kept me intact for 4 half marathons and training for my fifth. They don't pinch rub or chafe. Easily adjustable and straightforward to get on and off. Lingerie bag in the washer, dry on top of dryer. I now have a drawer full of running bras that never get used - and four of these.

This is an excellent sports bra, very good for running and high impact sports. I am ordered a 34D (my size) and it fit snugly - but the straps are adjustable so I suggest ordering your correct size. This bra is comfortable (as far as sports bras go). You do not need to pull this one over your head which makes it the best sports bra I own. Also - please be aware while some reviews say it eliminates all bounce - this isn't true. For larger cup sizes - there is some bounce but it an acceptable amount compared to other sport bra types. I highly recommend this product for those looking for a solid running bra.

I am usually a 34B which is what I ordered but I could not even do this bra up it was so tight. Also, the cups seemed big for a B especially when you want a sports bra to be nice and tight... I think this would be a good bra but maybe just for larger cup sizes.

This is an amazing bra. I have never been able to run prior to owning this sports bra! After having my second child (two kids in two years), my breasts were a size H! I purchased this in a size G and it worked great. I have since lost 35 pounds and needed a smaller one! Overall, amazing!

This is the best running sports bra that I have found. After growing a bit during pregnancy, I had to find a good sports bra to run in. Thanks to Zappos' wonderful return policy, I was able to find the best there is. The Moving Comfort Luna still jiggled way too much. The Moving Comfort Fiona was very comfortable and nursing compatible, but I still jiggled (kept it for low impact workouts). I just took away one star for comfort because I have to use a mirror to clip the top back. It runs true to size, although I was thinking when I first put it on that it would be too small. I am so glad that it is perfect!

Great sports bra, reduces bounce greatly. I'm a 36E and this is one of the best sports bra I've found. It does compress the breasts some and doesn't separate much, but the reason I buy a sports bra is to hold me in place. This bra does that. It's not a heavy bra, but does have lining/coverage/seems so no one knows how cold it is in the gym. It does a great job wicking the sweat away so I stay comfortable not clammy. It is a halter style, but it's not difficult to get on and off even though you have to reach behind your head to unclasp the top strap. The only complaint I have is it's really expensive, but I guess you get what you pay for.

As close to perfect as I've found. This bra is more attractive than other high intensity sports bras I've worn. It doesn't completely eliminate bounce but it's one of the better I've found. I'm 34 full C and it fit exactly as expected. I'm very happy with it and will be ordering more.

I was skeptical about this bra as I have difficulty finding sports bras in which I can be comfortable, but not only is it comfortable, but it also lives up to its name, shock absorber.

This bra is my new favorite! I have 4 Natori and they are good but this is much more 'stable', ya know what I mean? Its just so darn expensive that 1 will have to do for now. At least until my mom sends me another Zappos gift card! Thanks mom! ;)
