Can anyone recommend a good fitting sports bra? I am a 32FF and would love to hear any advice about which one to get. Thanks

I buy mine from a website called Boobydoo. I just buy my normal bra size (34GG) and have never had a problem. I usually buy Shock Absorbers, the highest level, they are about £24.

Find a Bravisimmo and get one from there.

I have this one and it's great.

The Freya Underwire Bra is very good.

I'm the same size and do a lot of sports, Shock absorber Run is my favourite. I needed to go a backsize up though, it's quite tight.

Another vote for shock absorber Run bra. I'm normally a 30F and I wear a 32E, so one band size up,the same as hazel. So you would need a 34F

I have the non-wired version of that Freya one (it was also good as a maternity bra!) and find it better than the Shock Absorber Run.

IDismyname · 16/10/2012 16:29

I wear the Freya one. Never had any problems

GobblersKnob · 16/10/2012 16:34

I have both the Freya that Sorrel linked to and a Shock Absorber Run and I much prefer the Freya.

Enell is apparently fantastic as well as shock absorber Run bra.

HazleNutt · 16/10/2012 18:05

I have the freya too but I find it terribly pointy. Afraid that might take someone's eye out..

AuntieMaggie · 16/10/2012 18:28

I got mine here after a mumsnetter kindly pointed me in the direction.

Mine wasn't at all yellow either!

Enell is brilliant for high impact. I don't find the Freya supportive enough, maybe because I'm used to the Enell. Panache one is good too but I have to do up the racer back clip for high impact.

HedgeHogGroup · 16/10/2012 19:51

I LOVE my Panache underwired one (36H). I don't feel any movement and can't recommend it enough Grin

TellMeLater · 16/10/2012 20:26

I use the Enell, it really holds me in place, virtually zero bounce.

anniewoo · 16/10/2012 21:06

Aunmaggie what has a pork recipe got to do with sports bras? Just wonderin?

IfYoureHappyAndYouKnowIt · 16/10/2012 21:08

Panache one is fab. Used to use Shock Absorber years ago but outclassed by Panache IMO.

AuntieMaggie · 16/10/2012 21:21

LMAO Blush

Sorry wrong link!

Should be this one

Just been reviewing the Freya Active Underwired sports bra and it starts from a D cup. Fab for larger chests for everything except star jumps! Written up a massive review of how I got on with it here. Up until now I'd been using shock absorber which is good for support but not as nice a shape and also a bit grippy for long periods of time. Hope that helps anyone else looking at this thread!

doobeedee · 26/02/2013 20:01

I like the Shock Absorber Level 4. Get it from either Boobydoo or Bravissimo. I do high impact aerobics in it and am a 32H and the don't move at all!
