I've ordered a zip front sportsjock bra

I have 32E/F norks and use the highest impact (level 4?) Berlei Shock Absorber for running etc. No bounce which is v unusual as I have v 'bouncy' norks just going about my business in everyday life Blush

NDP, do you go for a size smaller?

OP posts:
NomDePlume · 23/03/2006 10:18

No, I tried both the 'E' & the 'F' but bought the 32E because it was a firmer fit. I'm borderline between the 2 sizes anyway so nearly always have to try styles on in both cup sizes. The 32DD would've left me with an unattractive 'squash and spill' effect.

But I'm an H-HH Sad we have such huge norks that no one cares whether they're permenantly damaged, obviously.

NomDePlume · 23/03/2006 10:21

fasta, I suspect that manufacturers assume that H+'s won't be doing med-high impact sports, which is a bit unfair really. You must have a job getting hold of nice bras of any type in you size ? Being 18, you don't want to be stuck in scary granny bras, I'm sure.

Bravissimo all the way! No sports for me though! Even though I'm only a 30 back they don't do them Angry

fastasleep · 23/03/2006 10:30

OOH brill!

Why does bravissimo not have that?!

NomDePlume · 23/03/2006 10:30

That Royce one comes in 30H.

FWIW, i also wear a vest with a light secret support shelf too, no idea whether it makes ant difference but it helps me feel extra secure.

beetroot · 24/03/2006 10:02

thanks will order it and hope it does the trick

Make sure the shoulder straps are adjusted properly, it makes all the difference.

beetroot · 24/03/2006 10:04

yes the one i have now will not tighten enough

OP posts:
NomDePlume · 24/03/2006 10:04

the shoulder straps are pretty short on this one so should be good. You can always send it back if no good.
