Anyone tried Maaree sports bras for larger busts and sizing?

Any experience of Maaree sports bras for big boobs?

they look good but pretty expensive, wondering if buying usual shock absorber size would be right….

that said my current old faithful is something of a vintage piece and may be a little looser than it should be….

I have several Maaree sports bras. I like them, yes they are expensive but they wear really well. They are very adjustable & fit better.

I struggle with shock absorber now - they used to be better than they are now.

I've just bought a maaree bra and I used to be a shock absorber faithful.

I still wear my old shock absorbers but their quality isn't what it used to be.

I really like it. I do think the size isn't quite right but it's not causing me any issues.

They do say you should book a fitting. I did that before i bought it to get the right size but then the size they recommended wasn't available. So I bought a sister size and then booked another fitting but they didn't turn up to the zoom call! I did look at swapping it to the recommended size but the tool they have to do a swap is really fiddly - you select the size you want in the colour you want & then it says not available. What would be better is a list of available sizes in the colours they have. I don't mind the colour so much as the size. So i gave up tbh and just kept it.

So customer service could be a tiny bit better tbh. But it's a good quality bra there's no doubt and next time there's an offer I might buy a different one.

ive been looking at these too. Used to love shock absorbers but they’re not so good now. What’s the sizing like - same as shock absorbers?

More generous than the OG shock absorbers. Fairly accurate to your actual size.
