can anyone recommend somewhere that sells cheap-ish sports bras? I will be needing it for running , and my boobs will need strapping down ( i am a dd cup) .
I dont want to spend a fortune , as i will need to replace the bra once boobs start shrinking
, and i dont have much money to spare at the moment as i have just moved.
ETA - High Street ideally - i prefer to try them on before i buy.

Difficult one if you want to try them on, although I don't think it's quite as critical when you are wearing some tight fitting, possibly compression top. I use high-impact ones as I play footie and they squeeze me a bit and can sometimes be a devil to get on and off. My selection includes some from M&S and also Aldi (or was it Lidl?). Decathlon do them and there you could try them on I imagine.
Anyway, good luck with the running: I've done nothing since the end of my season and thanks, you've reminded me I need to start again as I'm feeling so sluggish.0 -
H&M have a good bunch, from low support to high support. I bought mine for £12ish and it's very comfy, but I do have smaller boobs than you but they don't giggle with the bra on at all. You've also got Sports Direct for all sports brand - both H&M and Sports Direct you can try on.0

If you like I am happy to inspect pictures of you in them to see if they are suitable.0

I've got a couple of Lonsdale branded ones - I like them because they do them in actual bra sizes rather than as "support tops" (S,M,L sizing). I do reasonably high impact exercise and find they provide a pretty good level of support.
Sports Direct usually have them included in the sales and I've paid a variation on £3 - £8 for one.Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?

Love the thought of it stopping your boobs giggling! :rotfl::rotfl:Lost my soulmate so life is empty.

Will check out sports direct , and H & M as well as M & S (incase they have any on sale), and also possibly Primani. I have some of their sports wear which was fairly decent quality (for the cost) -probably got lucky there though tbh.

I'm a D cup and use athletic works bras from asda for yoga and lifting. Not as bouncy as running but they are good quality with wide straps which really help.
ETA: they are about £6-70
