    debenhams own brand. about £20-25 ish? but u can usually get them on a % off deal. you can only buy them in flagship stores or online, although online sells fast for obvious reasons!

    Shock Absorbers from JJB were half price near me last week, got 2 for £35 in a 34 F.

    Bounce and jump all you want but the girls stay put!!
  • I tried a Shock Absorber bra in the same size as my regular bras. It didn't even come close to fitting me. Seemed very small.

    I have a panache one, which hold very well (28FF). Rather than flatten, it protects each breast individually which works very well. I've had no problems at all.

    I wear Freya bras, so have bought the recommended Freya sports bra. Hopefully it will fit like my regular bras. If not, it's off to Bravissimo.

    I bought a shock absorber from Bravissimo and found this too. I'm a 36FF and it was labelled as such but definitely no where near that size, more like a C cup! I thought maybe it had been labelled wrongly but I wonder now that I see you've had the same problem.

    Might go to Debenhams or Marks to try on a few others, I'm hoping if I find a good one I'll be more likely to do some exercise :D

    I would like to second the panache one. Im a 30gg

    I have worn both shockabsorbers (which i dont really love) and freya (the underwired one = great).

    This is a fairy newish model and its really great supports each boob without either squashing you so flat you cant breathe, or making you look 'pointy', so quite a flattering style. Also very comfy. Has the ability to convert to a racer back whick is nice under some tops (if that bothers you) but I actually feel more secure with the racer back fastened.

    As it happens I'm the same size as you. I'm really hoping the Freya one fits, or I'm going to be touring around the lingerie section of relevant shops lol.

    Same problem here- I have since gone into a store and though I am normally a 34H in Freya bras- I am a 38F in The Shock Absorber Run bra. I've since found them for 17 pounds on ebay so buying from there as they are 37 in the shops.
