Moving Comfort Sports Bra

Besides yoga, I mean to do some running this year. Got my gym bag all ready with my running shoes and gear but I still need a sports bra.

Nike Women's Swoosh Sports Bra 

The only sports bra I've tried is the Nike Women's Swoosh Sports Bra (L) in XL.


 
The Nike sports bra felt very comfortable although I found the band a bit loose. I may return to the Nike store to try on the L size. 
 
Disadvantage
The Nike Women's Swoosh Sports Bra (L) that I tried on is a compression-type sports bra, which meant that your boobs are flattened to reduce movement, which is good but your boobs are squashed together :P

Reading up on a few running sites, I discover that I should look out for brands like Moving Comfort, (Maia) and Enell.

Moving Comfort (Juno)

I managed to buy Moving Comfort Juno from an online shop and I am quite happy that the sports bra fit!

Here's my experience with Moving Comfort (Juno):


Disadvantages:
1. Moulded cups - although your boobs are not flattened, you may experience chafing especially if you're on the bigger size i.e. 36 DD-E. 

Advantages:
1. The straps are adjustable with Velcro - you can tighten or loosen the bra for a better fit 
2. Basic and bright colors are available - black or sky blue or even patterns

Now that Moving Comfort is no longer available on Amazon, I found this alternative brand: SYROKAN Women's Sports Bra, which has a similar design like the Moving Comfort Juno (adjustable bra straps)
 
Other brands like Wacoal and La Isla also got positive reviews on Amazon:  

Here are the running/fitness and shopping sites I checked out for tips on sports bras: - Runners' World- DailyHiit- Ruun- Women's Health

If you've ever used any of these sports bra, will appreciate your feedback on them as they are *expensive* and the only way I can get them is to shop online.
