I bought this Anita Active bra in a 30F and I was pleasantly surprised. This is my first sports bra (which was needed) and I'm glad I picked right first. Although I am a 28F/G, this bra fit tight in the back with 4 sets of hooks. Although I don't fit like the girl on the box, who must be like a 32C or something, it is still very supportive for my bust size. There is a little armpit pudge for me, but I'm still very happy with it.

So, I use one of these as both a sports bra and a sleeping bra.
It's got wide, padded straps, which are incredibly comfortable. It's breathable, so you don't tend to get that icky sweaty stuck together feeling when you exercise. It does compress your breasts, but not in that uncomfortable strapped down kind of way. I'm not sure I would recommend this for extremely rigorous activities for the larger busted ladies, however.
My only real complaint about it is that the elastic at the bottom tends to end up rolling upwards over time. And it isn't pretty...but hey, it gets the job done.

This is a very snug sports bra, and though I haven't tried it while exercising, suspect it would be a great running bra. It does give a little bit of a uni-boob effect from the compression.
The straps are extremely sturdy and thick (both width and depth) to provide more support. The fabric is breathable all around, and has air holes on the sides near the underarm. The band is also very wide (over 1") and on the snug side for extra support.

I am adjusting, and trying to move that breast tissue to the front. I've been trying different sizes and styles and haven't found one that I'm completely happy with, and doesn't result in the underarm spillage. I'm trying to get some different 30DDs to try but they are a bit hard to find, and a boutique I went to was determined I was a 32D. I'm heading back there this weekend to return some bras they put me in and demanding to try some 30 bands.
In case you're still dodgy about a size, I've found that a sophisticated pair's bra size calculator has been the most reliable: http://www.sophisticatedpair.com/bracalculator.htm I hope that things work out for you!
I find it extremely comfortable (considering most sports bras seem to be trying to squeeze my boobs through my ribcage. The bra does push my boobs together a little bit, but not nearly as much as most sports bras. The bra itself is more focused on holding the boobs in place with the shape and the non-stretch fabric than holding them down as tight as possible (though it being a little tight helps in preventing my boobs from having room within the bra to move around).

This sports bra does not fit me correctly because the band is way too big for me. I do have to say that the material is nice with a top layer and an inside layer made of a terry cloth type of fabric. The construction is good but I don’t think it really lifts the breast up where they should be. It does, however lock them down. The straps are really nice and wide with some thin padding in them. The back of this sports bra has 4 hooks with nice wide elastic for the under-band. This sports bra was just not for me for activities and sports. I do however use it around the house on days I don’t want to wear a regular bra.
This bra is not owned any more

Hi there! There seems to be breast tissue outside of the bra's cup under your arm area; is it possible that you are wearing the wrong size bra? Are you/how are you adjusting your breasts after you put your bras on?
