Best running bra for horizontal hold!

I need something man enough for the job please. I am fed up of either wobbling or feeling like I'm in a straitjacket. Just chucked my last one out because it was too tight and stopping me breathing but the comfy one doesn't do anything.

Recommendations please

I bought the shock absorber run bra after nearly falling out of the bottom of my old sports bra. It's really comfortable and definitely holds them still

shockabsorbers are excellent

Disagree re shockabsorbers. (34F here), though havent had one for a few years after deciding they were crap.

Firstly you need to double-bag, sports bra + sports crop top is the way to go for no movement.

At the mo i have an M&S underwired one here which is v. good.

I'm large of nork and they've always worked well for me, although the fitting is crucial I think

(many hours spent jigging and leaping in sports shop changing rooms to find the right one )

and yes doubling up works well too

Another vote for the new Shock Absorber Run bra. I never got on with the old style Shock Absorber - just coudn't get one to fit well - but the new one is ace. Certainly no need to double-up which is just as well given the hot weather we've had recently.

The Enell sports bra is the best for limiting movement. It ain't pretty and it feels like armour but it's the only one I can run in (34G here, bigger at the moment cos BFing).

Boobydoo website is excellent for reading reviews of sports bras and getting a large selection (free returns) that you can try on. I prefer Pure Lime to ShockAbsorber.

I've got the latest shock absorber run bra and I like it. It's comfy and supportive - you can adjust the straps in two places to get a good fit. If you do decide to go for the shock absorber, try amazon. Much cheaper than boobydoo.

I have a shop on ebay selling bras for DD cups and bigger so can give advice if you are that way. The only brand I sell anymore is Shock Absorber as M&S, La senza and Debenhams own brand sports bras used to get returned for not being man enough for the job.

It depends on you cup size but if you are top heavy then the D+ max is the one to go for. The style no is B4490 if you google it. They tend to bring it out in a new colour each season so there are some bargains to be had with the old colourway just now if you try Amazon or Ebay Wink. Shockabsorer have just started producing that bra up to a H cup. Full price it's about £30.

I have the shock absorber and I am a 36G.
It is ok.Well it is the best I could find in the UK. I am going to try an Enell next after reading reviews on MN.

I Just discoverd the LessBounce website.
They seem to have every sports bra known to man (or woman as it may be).
