    Hi!

    I recently bought off Amazon some Lonsdale sports bras, they do them in the correct sizes and not S, M, L etc, they do the cup sizes.

    I have done two runs in them and didn't even know I had them on, they were so comfortable!!

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0054TSU2W/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    OP I did take a quick look and they have got some 34DD sizes there, they do all different colours too!


    Does this bra have compression in it or just support? I'm in the same boat as the OP.

    I will be honest, I have no idea if it is a compression bra, but I will say this, I am bigger in the chest than the OP and when I run with this bra on, my chest does not bounce about, it is 100% supported.

    They are on sale at the moment on Amazon, I bought five, am thinking of buying some more too haha

    I seen that since they are so cheap I may have to try it out.

    I am a 32DD and I used to use Moving Comfort but they can be pricey. I actually bought a few sports bras at Old Navy that I love. I don't use them to run all of the time, but they get the job done.

    Question for you, did you just order the size you knew you were or use their sizing guide? I am a 36 DD easily, yet using their guide it said 42C. These puppies won't fit into a c, and i'm scared 42 wouldn't be tight enough around the rib cage. Or is this how sports bra sizes work? I'm 44'' loosly around chest, and 36-37'' around rib cage. (depending on how deep of breathe. lol)

    I am pretty sure I got a 34D in their sizes. I have a 32D also and it's a bit tight, but not too uncomfortable. So I did size up for ribcage and down for cup size.

    Under Armour got some good quality sports bras. Little pricey, but worth it!

    Hi! You and I wear the same size.

    I hate the uniboob / compression type bras.

    My very favorite is the Sport Underwire by Wacoal. Style 855170. LOVE THEM. I have even worn one during a triathlon with zero issues. So comfortable and supportive. And they wash/wear extremely well.

    :flowerforyou:

    I agree. I am a 34H and the 34G fits me well and holds the girls in place :smile: I wore it as an everyday bra before I started exercising again. Nordstrom had it on sale for around $42.00

    I wear a 32E and LOVE shock absorber. I won't go running in public without one. They're expensive but I think it's worth it for a few reasons. One main one being they aren't too stretchy so if the band starts to feel tight I know I'm gaining weight! I do also have one underarmor one I like. The pull over stretchy ones I have I only wear during no-impact excercise.

    You need a regular bra-sized one, with underwire. There is a great Natori one at Nordstrom, it's a knit one, thick band, when I had Gs they didn't budge. There are some Champion ones that have underwire too, a little cheaper than Natori

    Ladies in the UK - have you tried Lessbounce.com? Not sure if they deliver to US :cry: but there are loads of reviews on that site from women of all different sizes/requirements, so you can read up on the different brands

    PS. All about Shock Absorber (Run) or Panache (underwired) for my DDs!

    PPS. I have no relationship with that site at all - I just think it's ace

    I have a 36FF Shock Absorber... worth every penny of the £30 I paid. My last one lasted 2yrs and the last month it's been haning on by a hook!

    bravissimo.co.uk could be your friend x

    32F here and I use a Shock Absorber too, they make them for different activity levels, I got a "run" one as it has the most support. Try plenty on and jump up and down in the changing room to check for bounce :laugh:

    I really love the Champion ones. I like that I get separation and support. My HRM band fits nicely underneath it too. I may try the Shock Absorber since I've heard good things, but I love my Champion so much I don't know if I will!

    Edit: Oh, right! 36DD here!

    Shock Absorber all the way!

    Running/jogging has been uncomfortable to downright impossible since my early teens. Shock Absorber is the only sports bra I've ever owned that allows me the freedom to do whatever type of exercise I choose: run, jump, etc.
