Sports bras?

As of now, since I've found out my size, I still don't have a sports bra. I bought one about 45lbs ago in a medium. So that doesn't fit anymore. To boot, it was one of the pull over your head ones-which isn't going to give the support you need doing mundane things, let alone workouts.

I've been thinking, to be safe, do you normally buy them a cup smaller? My biggest worries for myself revolve around the fact that my IMF is unusual, as well as breast shape. So with this,most bras in 30E have wires that are pretty far from the bottom and sides of my boobs.
If I go a cup down, the depth isn't enough and cuts into my tissue.
So I'm wondering if buying a cup smaller would be a better option than having some wiggle room on the bottoms, sides, and possibly tops. If the cups are moulded, that's bound to happen.

Also, are there any brands/models that have worked really well for anyone? Are they compression, or moulded? I had a moulded sports bra in 36B and obviously hated it..but mostly because the cups felt useless to me. I want something that's kind of compression, but with underwires and back clasps, but I don't even know if that's possible or a thing xD

I just have no idea where to start with sports bras that actually do what they're intended for, and it's. .well summer time in 2 days? I think it'd be nice to go for a run or something but I'm lost :(

  • So you are looking for a sports bra for a projected 30E?

    I havent found a sports bra, but I dont do sports and . . 32J. But i just did a search here on sport 30E and found a bunch. i'd start by reading reviews of those.
