I need a large-size sports bra

Size 38F so need wide straps and lots of support to stop the 'bounce' when exercising - any recommendations please?

  • Debenhams and BHS tend to be pretty good for reasonable priced bras. I wouldn't use their measuring services though, just try loads on until you find one that's right.

    Are they specifically sports bras though? I have ordinary bras but they're not suitable for exercise.

    Try Bravissimo - very good sports bras. http://www.bravissimo.com

  • I am the same size and got a really good one from M&S! To be fair doesn't stop them bouncing but does support them really well!:D

  • Try figleaves.com. They do a great one that looks like a waistcoat but works amazingly well! About £50 but definately worth every penny!

    PMSL!

    Bravissimo are really good, but larger sizes in "normal"(!) shops are often cheaper. Check both the sports bra section and the "larger sizes" section. I actually got a good sports bra from Asda a few years ago that was really good, but not sure of the range of sizes they do these days (I just avoid sport so I don't bounce:D)

    Is this the Enell one you're referring to?

    Very weird sizing (Figleaves do have a link to the sizing guide), and lots of hooks to do up - but it does keep you under control.

    I recommend Bravissimo as well - very helpful :) You could always go to one of their shops to try stuff on and then do a search online to see if you can find the brand cheaper?
