I'm going to argue I'm afraid... Shock Absorbers are great, and now I'm down to a D cup they're all I wear. But back when I was running half and full marathons with a FF cup - up to an H when pregnant! - Shock Absorber didn't cut the mustard.

I found the Freya Active non-wired bra, and the Panache Sport, were much better for bigger cup sizes when running serious distances. If I had to pick, I'd go for the Panache as it was slightly more comfortable:

These ones are great I have F's but bras do go up higher. Have bought 2 of them and have last a really good
Long time

I had a shock absorber and yes it was prices, but it lasted me for years and was brilliant.

Shock absorber ultimate run bra is brilliant!

I'm large chested and got a good sports bra a few years ago from Debenhams. They often have some sort of sale on in the underwear department, might be worth a look online or in store?

Yep definitely shock absorber!

You can get shock absorber bras cheaper on sportsshoes.com. Go up one size in the back and keep your cup the same. The m and s one has been great for me, I bought it in an emergency and didn’t read the reviews.

I've just been looking at the M&S zip up the front ones but the reviews didn't look great. The shock absorber ones do look good, so expensive though 😩 suppose I'll have to suck it up and get one! The joys of big boobs hey!

I'm.an F cup and have never found a sports bra that really fits and supports. I do have Shock Absorber bras but I still find my bust wobbling about!

HalleLouja · 08/01/2020 21:20

Shock absorbers are amazing. I also bought a m and s bra that you zip up which I love.

I swear by shock absorber (f cup) - not the cheapest but nothing moves, and they last for years
