Where does reasonably priced gym wear and 32G sports bra?

Title says it all. I'm a 5'4" 14/16 pear and need something that wicks sweat, won't ride down on my bum and aren't silly long whilst being reasonably priced.

I'm also a 32g and need a sports bra. Where shall I look for that?

I'm the same bra size and I like Shock Absorbers. They're really supportive and theirs usually somewhere that has them on offer. At the minute it's Debenhams That's the one I have, I know it says 32G is out of stock but your local store may have them, mine always do.

As for general gym clothes, I tend to just go to Sports Direct. I have a couple of Nike vests that have a racer back so look nice over the bra, and I think they're about £17 and much cooler than an ordinary vest top!

I really rate the Freya Active and the Panache sports bras. They're both underwired so use the encapsulation rather than the compression method of support.

I'm a 32F and love the Panache, I couldn't get on with Shock Absorbers at all. I found them cheapest on Amazon, and although they aren't cheap per se, they are worth the investment.

I pick up clothes in Lidl. Not sure when their next sports wear event is on, but the clothes are good enough for what I do and a great price.

I really rate the Panache sport, followed by Freya. I'm a similar size and I'm not personally a huge fan of Shock Absorbers as I find my boobs get sore afterwards (because they work by compression)

Aldi had a running event last week, so you should still be able to find it instore. I'm currently wearing Aldi skapri and t shirt and they are really nice.

I'm a 28g and like the Panache and Freya sports bras

Have been loving Gap sportswear of late - trousers are NOT see through - hurrah!! (I tested A LOT of trousers before investing on this issue). Worth a look next time they do their 30/40% off weeks.

Figleaves for the sports bras
H&M or TKMaxx for the gym kit

Thanks for the help. I ended up buying the Panache bra (£38! ouch, but I want it now) and ended up getting some of the Costco Lululemon rip off capris and top. Sports Direct gave me a headache, plus I realised how much I hate the owner and his dodgy practices.

Look on décathlon.co.uk as well, I get most of my gym wear from there, the prices are good and it's decent quality. Lots of choice of tops too.

Just realised there was a program on Radio 5 about sports bras this evening as catching the last 10 mins of it.
