This is not a bra, it's a piece of atheltic equipment.  It's excellent for large breasted women needing strong support for high impact activites.  It's is the ONLY bra I will run in.  I purchased the 36D one year ago and it is in excellent condition (wear 3 -4 times per week, hand wash and air dry).  I've tried more than 10 styles of sport bra (underwire, no wire, uniboob, seperate & lift et al),  ranging from $20-$80, and this one is the answer.  Some women say it compresses, but I honestly do not feel that way at all (they may have undersized their rib cage and got too small a band?).  When I run in this bra I do not jiggle or shake no matter how hard I hit the ground or the eliptical.  It holds me in and lifts me up so my arms have a full range of motion for lifting weights, and I always feel cool, comfortable and confident in it.  No nipple pop outs either.  My only regret is that while it's easy to put on over my head (like a T-shirt) it is less-than-easy to remove after a work out when the skin is damp with sweat... but considering how well it performs other wise, it's worth the effort to take off.  Also, I imagine this can't be helped, because the design has alot to do with it's outstanding performance.  I lost some inches from toning up, but the bra still holds exceptionally well, even with a tiny bit of extra room.  Highly recommend everyone try this one before buying another.
