Choosing the right sports bra - and getting the proper fit - requires patience, an eye for detail and a willingness to jump in the fitting room.
First decide if you want a compression or encapsulation-style brassiere.
Compression bras, like the first Jogbra, usually pull over the head and mash the breasts down, to restrict movement.
Encapsulation styles, which separate and support the breasts individually, are usually more comfortable for large-breasted women.
Look for wide shoulder straps which are less likely to dig in.
"Inset shoulder straps can make a big difference on where you distribute the pressure from holding up the breast on your shoulders and back," says Jen Elise McKey, a bra selector for Title Nine, a national women’s athletic apparel store.
Use your regular brassiere size as a guideline, but try the bigger and smaller sizes.
Do as much as you can in the dressing room that will replicate whatever activity you’re planning to wear it for.
After purchasing the bra, replace it every six months or so.
