Sports bras?

Gingham_R

Can anyone recommend a good but fairly inexpensive sports bra, please
It needs to be comfortable and built for big boobed women.

Decision made to get one after being told I shouldn't be running because I'll give myself a black eye. (I'm wearing a well fitted Freya one but there's only so much an ordinary bra can cope with!)

Thank you.

I actually got a really good one from primark...it is black with pink edgey bits, is like a crop top but with a bra fastening aswell. I'm a DD and its great!! think it was 5/6 quid. Tried some of the other primark sports bras which are just fabricy/droppy with a bit more elastic but they were rubbish!!

j.e.j.

How much would you be willing to pay? Bravissimo are good, and do a good fitting service, too, but I'd guess you'd be looking at £20-£30..

All depends how big boobed you are really! I'm a H cup, so most of the cheapy brands are out of the question, so I tend to haunt TKMaxx and buy the high strength Shock Absorber bras when I see them there on offer. I've tried the Freya active underwired sports bra and that was pretty good, though not cheap.

M&S and Matalan ones were ok (when I still fitted their sizes) from the cheaper brands. A lot of the other ones I tried didn't offer enough support for larger boobs and I was still bouncing around the place.

I'm an H cup and i'd second the shock absorber - now can normally find them on ebay.

G cup and I third the Shock Absorber - found mine in TK Maxx on the sale rail so snapped it up. Will get a new one in the new year

Thanks all. 36G. Will look into the shock absorber.

I'm happy to spend up to about £26. All my bras are from Bravissimo but I have to order them as I don't live near a store, and I can't rely on my usual style to be sure of the fit.

I got a Debenhams own-brand one and mine don't move at all in it. You do need to try lots on as the sizes are strange and some are so uncomfortable. I jumped around in the changing room!

I run as well and I'm a DD and I can't recommend the Shock Absorber more highly. I've tried a good few sports bras over the years: Debenhams, M&S and some of the premium ones such as Berlei. Shock Absorber were definitely the best - you don't move! You also need to have a good fitting - this can be variable as most of them seem to think I'm a 34-36D whereas a small local lingerie shop fitted me with a 32DD and it was a much better fit - no riding up the back and my b00bs weren't going anywhere!

I can't find it in my size?

Where did you ladies get yours?

Oh. That one also says 'not suitable for running'. ?
