Shock Absorber Sports Bra On Offer!

Options
Hello ladies, and inevitable gents who may have clicked on this post hoping for breast pictures!

Just to let you know, I was in Debenhams on Saturday and they had the Shock Absorber Impact 4 Sports Bra on offer for £24. It appeared to be only on the Red, White and Blue one and the Lilac and Turquoise one below. But even where I get them online the cheapest I've ever seen is £29 + delivery so it's well worth a look. Mine is a life-saver and I'd really recommend spending out on one if you are, ahem, on the busty side. :embarassed:

    I ordered couple online for Debenhams but had to send back as the sizes are smaller than 'normal' bras. There were black online as well. And if your order is 30 quid the delivery is free. Guess have to go to the shop and do proper fitting.

    Yeah, rule of thumb with Shock Absorber is that the band is tight but the cup fine (and pretty comparable to Panache sizing in my experience). So I go up a band size and down a cup size. As the cup size is measured on the difference between your back and bust measurement, so for example a G cup in a 30 back is a F cup in a 32. That's actually the advice the House of Fraser fitting assistant gave me when I bought my first one a few years ago! Hope that helps :flowerforyou:

    These are still on offer, I got mine yesterday in Winchester. Yes it was the hideous colour one but for £24 who's complaining! Thanks for the tip:flowerforyou:

    The shock absorber max is great although I am currently using ......... wait for it....... a copy made by Primark, I think it is called Extreme, it is black with pink piping and I can honeslty say, it is the best sports bra I have ever had, I normally wear a 38D so need to strap them in tightly (I run.... well jog and huff and puff alot) it cost £8.

    I wish! Sadly, Primark don't do my size (When I looked at those they only went from a 34 up and only up to an F, however that might just be at my local one) To be fair, I stuggle to find my size online sometimes too! Might be good for others though...

    Don't want to burst the bubble but try amazon! I bought my shock absorber sports bra (a level 4) for 14.99! Here's the link to the one I bought, I think the price did change depending on the size and colour.

    Thanks, I'll say the price changes! For me it was £30!! I'll remember to check back there when I need one again though as the free delivery still makes it cheaper than the £29+del I usually pay online.

    Had time to give mine a good trial now and apart from being tricky to do up the top back strap, to say the least, the boys were safe and secure (38DD). The only downside is that if we all buy one now, then lose loads of weight, we'll all have to go and get another one in a few weeks/months!
