A-cup sports bras

Posts: 2,051 Forumite
Does anybody know where I can find a sports bra in a 34 or 36 A? They all seem to start at a B. Although I'm on the small side, I still feel I need a little support on the treadmill.
Ideally I'd like one with the straps going into the middle on the back, or a racer-back style crop top kind, as straps tend to slide off my shoulders when I am working out. And a little light padding for coverage would be great too.

Try looking at ranges aimed at teenagers. They do some good crop type type bras that would work plus no VAT as they're childrens.Officially in a clique of idiots0

A true 34A would measure approx 34" underbust and 35" bust - if your measurements are significantly different to those then you might find that there's actually a more suitable size for you, which could open up some other options in terms of brands. If you do think you might be more suited to another size then I can point you in the direction of some good websites
Shock Absorber are good and it looks like they do have some options that could fit you - this and this come in A cups.Kate.0 -
Figleaves have a selection in your size, just select sports bras and then use the filter to find them.0

Another thing to think about is whether you're actually an A cup.
I have recently dropped down a size and up a cup, which fits much more solidly.0 -
I had a similar issue, im only a 32a, felt so awkward in shops browsing, but found some on sports direct a while back. also found the odd one or 2 at jjb when they were closing down,not sure if they have any branches left anywhere?0

I could do with getting hold of a tape measure and checking what size I take. I've lost some weight so I might need a smaller back size, however I suspect I'm also closer to a AA than an A cup size. And there isn't much choice for A cups, AAs and I'm probably stuck with teen underwear.
I found some in Sports Direct today which were a pull-on crop top style and feel as though they would be supportive and easy to move in. The shop was about to shut so I didn't get to try any on, but I'm passing through there tomorrow so will go and try them.
I like the Shock Absorber ones posted. I'd heard of the brand but thought they were for larger cup sizes. They are a bit pricy but my bras tend to last donkey's years. Might not be worth it at the moment as I've only just started on my gym-going and might change size in a few months.Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.0 -

No way, I enjoy it too much! Yes I grouse about going when I've worked 9-6 with an hour's travel either end, but I love it when I get there. And no-one ever regrets a workout afterwards, do they.
I tried on a Shock Absorber bra in 34A (the only A on the shelf, all the rest were Ds) but the back straps couldn't even see each other, let alone meet up. If I were buying anything in that range I estimate I'd need a 40 inch back size in their measurements. :eek:
But I struck lucky in Peacocks. I found a pull-on crop top with racer back, light padding and very supportive. In fact I put it through a workout this afternoon and it did the job very well. Only £7 too.Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.0 -
Too many words! All this verbiage makes the problem difficult to picture. I think this thread needs illustratI]That's enough. Go way, you silly child. Editor[/I0
