Sports bra? . . .

Help! I really want to run on a treadmill at the gym to help me lose weight. My problem is rather large norks (approx 36 HH). I have this sports bra www.bravissimo.com/products/lingerie/sports-bras/impact-free-sports/white/ro10wh/?criteria=sports+bra&show=16&sort=1 but, frankly I cannot run in it as it is not hugely supportive and I am still bouncing around all over the place (plus it's quite uncomfortable). Shall I buy another to wear over the top? Or do I get a cropped sports vest? Or something else? Thank you.

I am not big but still wouldn't run in anything other than a shock absorber bra.

I wouldn't buy another one the same as what you have though. If you anticipate that you'll loose weight through the weighy loss (ie bulk of your breasts) better to see if you can buy one size down as long as still comfortable.

I think best though to find a shop, try on the options and jump up and down before you have to commit, or order loads from figleaves with a view to sending back.

I have that one and it works for me but it is quite tight
How about this one? www.bravissimo.com/products/lingerie/sports-bras/max-sports-bra-top/teal/be53te/?show=16&sort=1

out of stock there but you could prob pick it up on ebay cheaper and the reviews at the bottom of the page look good

I'm a 34j and got a fab one from rigby and pelier!

I can't do up those sports bras with 2 straps (can't reach) - can you still buy ones with 1 strap?

Thanks ladies. I have been looking at the Shock Absorber. Will go and have a look in town on my day off.

I ordered one off the internet from a company called "LessBounce" which is fine, although I am 'only' DD.

I think it's a good idea to try some on first. There was a thread on here about the importance of getting the right size - and Bravissimo was recommended by someone for doing accurate fittings.

I have the Enell from lessbounce. It ain't pretty and it has bizarre sizing- I am a 34G and wear a size 1 or 2. It is like armour and I can't wear anything else now. I've also got a Freya one which is pretty good but not a patch on the Enell.
