Which are the best? Between SheFinds editors sweating it out for hours on end and SheFinds readers submitting their favorites, here are the bras with the most rave reviews: Enell, Champion, Shock Absorber and Moving Comfort. We've also included some popular runners up chosen by readers.

Nothing gets between my and my Natori. It is by far the most comfortable, best fitting bra I own, and I can do all my high-impact sports in it without any bouncing or chaffing.

.: Shock Absorber: Winner for High-Impact

Shock Absorber Sports Bras are the most sought-after sports bras by women of all shapes and sizes due to their very low rating on the bounce-o-meter. In fact, the Shock Absorber brand prides itself on this particular feature more than anything else -- and they have a video on their Web site to prove it.

Fit: They run a little small, so keep that in mind when shopping. One reader puts it this way: "They're tight enough that I feel fully supported, but not so tight that they're confining." That means lots of compression so your girls stay snugly in place.

Comfort: Ladies with trouble pulling on sports bras over their heads can heave a sigh of relief -- the Classic Support Level 3 Braicon features hook-and-eye closures in the back just like a normal bra. Also, since it's made of moisture-wicking nylon, your skin can breathe easy.

Best for: Everyone from runners to spinning junkies, kickboxing fanatics and steppers. Choose your style based on your impact level, like the Support Level 2 sports braicon for an easy workout or the Level 3 anti-bounce sports braicon for hardcore fat burning sessions. With four levels of support, you'll get a customized fit every time that never skimps on comfort or support.

While the less endowed love them, they are especially cherished by busty gals since they run up to a G cup. "I'm VERY busty, so it's a problem even finding a sports bra in my size (32H). The one I love is the Shock Absorber Support Level 4 D+icon. I still wear two bras to play sports in -- I've torn the fine muscles in my chest due to bouncing, so I'm paranoid -- but really, the Shock Absorber is wonderful."

Enell Sports Bras

.: Enell: Best for Big Busts

The Enell Sports Bra is geared towards busty women, featuring ultra-wide comfort straps, moisture-wicking material that keeps boobs from bouncing, and last, but perhaps most important, is comfort. Easy front-fastening hooks make this bra a no-brainer.

Bounce-o-meter: These are tried-and-true over-the-shoulder boulder-holders that keep bounce to a minimum no matter how big you are. "As a big-busted gal (30F) I've never found anything that holds me down and is as comfortable while jogging or doing high impact aerobics -- this one is the best, hands down. Ugly as sin, but that's okay." It's so good that readers claim they'll never run without it again.

Best for: Anything from low-impact yoga to high-impact running or horseback riding. Some women even wear these as everyday bras simply because they are so comfortable and supportive. The catch is that sizes start at 32C and go up to 52DD, so Enell is only for the well-endowed. No matter where you fall in that range, however, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the "unbelievable support" and "most comfortable fit."

Champion Sports Bras @ ChampionCatalog.com and BareNecessities

.: Champion: Multi-Tasking Star

Champion Sports Bras come in a wide variety of styles to suit every level of exerciser, which is why they rank as a favorite amongst so many women of different sizes and backgrounds. Each email touted a different style bra as their favorite, claiming that it was better than all the rest. Clearly, Champion has made its mark and these are just some of the most notable numbers.

02 Cool: Why explain it when this reader sums it up completely? "Just because I might be a member of the 'itty bitty' committee, that doesn't mean I want my boobs to bounce when I run or do aerobics. That's why I like this bra. It keeps me in place, feels cool, has super soft fabric, and it even looks pretty." Point is, this is perfect for an A to C cup for medium to high impact activities, but keep in mind that it has no hook closure or zip-front, so it has to be pulled on over the head.

Double Dry Bra: Nothing compares to the silky soft material of these bras that ban bounce and the dreaded uniboob, plus, they come in sizes up to 40DD and feature an easy-to-use back closure. "I'm training for a marathon and this bra is the best. It stays dry and no chaffing. Reasonable price, too!" It's also available as a sports top, which is lauded by Pilates and yoga fans.

Action Shape: One reader raves, "My absolute fav -- and the only thing I will run in -- is the Champion Action Shape bra." Another reader, a 34DD athlete who runs and plays Ultimate Frisbee says of the Action Shape, "I have some serious need for bounce control. I love the support and adjustable straps and back."

Moving Comfort Sports Bras

.: Moving Comfort: It's All in the Name

Moving Comfort sports bras live up to their name and were never recommended without mention of how comfortable they were. Not only that, but both small and big busted women lauded it's ability to ban bounce and (surprise) keep breasts looking like two instead of one. A wide range of sizes from 32A to 44DD (soon E and F sizes, too) make these bras suitable for nearly everyone, whether they enjoy hiking outdoors or hitting the gym.

Fiona for Big Busts: "I love the Fiona Bra because it snaps in back like a regular bra. If you're big like me, getting into most sports bras that go over your head is either painful or impossible. The Fiona is extremely comfortable (as in I can wear it for hours), supportive, and ultra-adjustable to boot. A perfect fit."

Melbourne for Medium Busts: "I do a lot of running and bouncy sports, so I need something to stabilize and support. There's absolutely no bouncing going on in my Melbourne bra and it keeps me super dry, too."

Lila for Small Busts: "The Lila bra is pretty, comfortable and it keeps me dry even during a heavy-duty workout. It runs a bit small, but definitely holds me in tight. I really like the feel of the soft, smooth fabric, too."

.: Runners Up

Last but not least, here are a few more of the most notable bra recommendations that trickled in from readers. They may have fewer followers, but all of them were given glowing reviews. You never know -- one of these undiscovered treasures may just be your next favorite sports bra.

* Donna Karan Sports Bra: "I've owned two and they are worth every penny. Comfortable, sturdy and non-smooshing!"

* Natori White Label Underwire Sports Bra: "It's so comfortable I could sleep in it, but it's also super supportive for anything I do at the gym. Plus, it's the only bra that doesn't give me a uniboob."

* Reebok Scented Seamless Short Bra: "I'm a sucker for stuff like this. When I heard it smells like peppermint when you sweat, I was sold. As for fit, it's comfortable, but it's definitely best for low to medium-impact activities, not necessarily running."

* Lululemon: "The Daily Yoga Bra is just enough for my Vinyasa or Pilates class, and it's super cute and comfortable."

* Hind: "I like the zip-front style (Nexus) and the back hook style (Flex), which gives more support."
