Sports bra/top, firm support for big boobs!

[CottonDeTulear]

I’ve started running and I’ve tried a couple of crop tops and suchlike but they’re just not very supportive and my boobs are hurting. Any ideas?

TIA!

I went to Bravissimo and was fitted for one of their sports bras. Think mine was specifically for running. I had an old one that was too tight and the perfect fit makes such a difference.

Thank you! I’ve looked at Bravissimo but so expensive 😮

Marks and Spencer ultimate support.

I buy mine from the boobydoo website. My preference is the panache ultimate underwired sports bra

My experience of M&S is that they pretend to know what big boobs are, but have no clue.

I’ve found Freya Active to be the best sports bras. If you do have a bigger bust, you’re probably not going to get away without underwire, soz.

I like the shock absorber ultimate run bra. Crop tops are useless in my view unless you’ve got tiny boobs.

I've just bought a second one of these, I'm a 34F.

Panache underwire sports bra for me. I was fitted by my local independent lingerie shop. You're looking at about £40 for a bra but I'd rather that than sore boobs. If you get fitted, then you can look online for slightly cheaper (last season colours) options.

Enell bras are brilliant, but very expensive. I’ve found a couple on Vinted in the past though.
Failing that, I use a decent bra (Panache or Shock Absorber) - and I’ll often put a cropped top over it. Those girls go nowhere.

Bravissimo. My sports bra has lasted for years so might be expensive but built to last. You need something robust for big boobs

A friend at running club recommended wearing two at the same time and I found that it works a treat. These are great.

Freya Active Dynamic
If you google you can often find old colours reduced somewhere.

Second this

Another vote for m&s zipped ones. Work well for my 32gs but you may have to size up a bit

My favourite ever was the Bravissimo Orbit, but they don't make it any more. Has anyone tried Tiger Eye that I see advertised online? Looks similar but very expensive.

I have a brilliant M&S one. But they don't seem to sell it anymore. It's my favourite sports bra and way better than any other. Take a look at what they have on offer.

i can’t recommend Elomi energise enough, they aren’t cheap but is the best I’ve tried, better than shock absorber or M&S ultimate.

The M&S ultimate is my second favourite but I see they have changed the design since I last bought one.

Here is the list I keep, based on forums like this and my big busted mates who run or gym
personally I love the prima Donna

Sports bras
Prima Donna wired sports bra
Freya epic
Panache endurance underwired
Shock absorber ultimate run
Anita
Enell - lots of hooks and eyes, mono boob but great support
Berlei running / riding bra

@mummybearsurrey does that mean you need to size up as Primadonna doesn't seem to have double letter sizes? (I wear 36GG)

Hey thanks all!

Another vote for shock absorber.

And from me. Rock solid, but very comfortable.

Another vote for shock absorber. I also like Nike alpha skins but these were better when I was thinner / had slightly smaller boobs.

hmmmm I cannot remember!!! Last time I bought one I went to rigby & peller to make sure it fitted properly.

and it did!!

sorry cannot give more guidance.
