Best sports bras

11 replies

Started doing Joe Wicks PE and plan on starting C25K but my bras are utterly crap at supporting any physical activity.

I'm a plump 14 (short arse) but have a tiny band size (30ins) - it's literally the only slender part of me. I'm wary of buying the wrong sizes too as no option to get to shops and try on.

What's best- a cup style bra or a crop top style?

Any good brand recommendations? Ideally under 20quid.

It depends on the level of activity.
If it involves running or jumping you need a high impact bra.
Shock Absorber is good. There are different styles. I prefer them to be bra-like.

You can shop around for prices.

Shock absorbers are excellent I like the styles of them they're sporty bright colours

Yeah - running (well, attempting to run).

I like 2XU sports bras. They fasten like normal bra so aren’t a nightmare to get off over your head when you’re sweaty.

Just a word of warning - Shock Absorbers come up really small in the band! Old fashioned plus 4 sizing works best for them! I measure 28 in the band and wear a 30 with an extender!

I don't find them small, but they are for running not comfort.
You need absolutely no jiggle.

The bra suggested above from amazon is great. I think it’s Panache but from another country.

Panache underpowered sports bra. Wera your usual panache size.

I bought the one linked above on amazon.
Love it. Its a good high support sport bra.
I have got shock absorber ultimate run bra's too which I think are more supportive. But they are over twice the price.

Any decent sports bra plus a Boobandy.
