And so, over the years, I’ve been on a quest for the best high-impact sports bra that could contain my runaway breasts. For a long time, I thought it was hopeless. I would buy a size down, and wear two sports bras at a time to keep things in place (and to create a nifty pocket for my phone and keys). It's a good hack, but there are downsides. You have to wash your bras twice as often, and it’s annoying to have to pull two bras on and to try to wrestle your way out of them when you're covered in sweat.
Luckily, there are many companies out there trying to find a solution for bustier women who want to participate in high-impact activities. Here are a few of the best high impact sports bras on the market.

Lululemon
Although this bra is technically classified as "medium support," it does well in high-impact situations, such as jogging or HIIT classes. Some reviewers say it's more supportive than you'd expect, and that it offers full coverage.
Lululemon Energy Bra Long Line, $, available at Lululemon
Zella
The compressive fit and high neck of this high-impact sports bra make this a great choice for activities like running.
Zella Body Fusion Sports Bra, $, available at Nordstrom
Girlfriend Collective
Under $40? Check. Sustainably-made? Check. Cute? Check, check, and check. Larger-chested folks may have avoided the V-neck silhouette, but no longer is that the case. Girlfriend Collective's bras give you necessary support and are available in sizes XXS to 6XL.
Girlfriend Collective FLOAT Lola Bra, $, available at Girlfriend Collective
Nike
This V-neck sports bra has one of the most inclusive size ranges we've seen (up to 44G), making it ideal for larger busts that need extra support.
Nike Rival Women's High-Support Sports Bra, $, available at Nike
Under Armour
If you're looking for a bra that's convertible, look no further. This Under Armour pick has clips in the back that help you adjust its fit to your shape. It also has stretchy, baby-soft fabric, and is designed to hold you in for high-impact sports.
Under Armour High Crossback Zip Sports Bra, $, available at Under Armour
Wacoal Sport
This one's a great choice for well-endowed people who want to really secure things in place during sweat sessions. Thanks to its "two-ply" cups and floating underwire, it will keep your breasts in check during intense activities.
Wacoal High Impact Sports Bra, $, available at Bare Necessities
Koral
Koral's sports bras were the first ones I ever encountered that allowed me to run comfortably without doubling up. They're a little pricier than average, but in my eyes the quality makes the cost worth it.
Koral Tax Blackout Sports Bra, $, available at Koral
Natori
A convertible back, soft foam cups, and technical fabric keep everything in place, whether you're jumping hurdles or doing a particularly grueling HIIT class.
Natori Dynamic Contour Underwire Sports Bra, $, available at Nordstrom
Sweaty Betty
This bra is good for fast-paced activities, such as running, bootcamp, or those intense Peloton tread classes. The breathable material is sweat-wicking and designed with padded straps that won't dig in while holding you up.
Sweaty Betty High Intensity Sports Bra, $, available at Sweaty Betty
Panache Sports
Although not everyone is a fan of an underwire, this bra is a great option for bustier people because they offer sizing in cups B through J.
Panache Ultimate High Impact Underwire Sports Bra, $, available at Bare Necessities
