cheap sports bras uk?

deagh93 · August 2012

American here, but I get my bras from the UK, as it is nearly impossible to find my size here. I have a Shock Absorber that I got from BraStop (they are a UK company, but ship to the US for free!) I paid about 25 GBP for mine, and I love that thing.

If you are losing a lot of weight and don't want to spend a fortune on bra's that won't fit you for long or you go to the gym a lot so it becomes very onerous trying to get the bra's washed n dried in time for the next session, I have a couple of decent shock absorber bra's and inbetween I just double up - wearing 2 bras does the trick

I buy bra's in asda as they are pretty but so cheap they don't last - but when the underwire does (inevitably) come out, it goes in the pile of ones to double up with - I am quite chesty (38F) but double bra's do the trick, one underwired and one (used to be) underwired. I will spend my big money on high quality bra's when I have lost my weight, so this is my compromise

I'm a double D and nothing seems to hold mine in place. I have the shock absorber one and I still find too much bounce

But I jog on the treadmill at home so literally just hold them in place when I am jogging lol. Makes a huge difference to how out of breath I get.

Shock Absorber have many different styles. I'd recommend getting fitted for a sports bra in the same way you'd get fitted for any other bra. If you'd been properly fitted you would have found one where there wasn't too much bounce.

I've got 2 Lonsdale ones from Sports Direct, I've only been doing strength training so far but they have been brilliant for me. I will have a look into the other ones suggested though because I want to do some HIIT very soon

This G-cup girl loves her M&S one. Not underwired and still very supportive considering the ridiculous size my grandmother gifted me - thanks nan ):

They don't seem to sell the same one anymore (not online at any rate) but it is similar to this one: http://www.marksandspencer.com/Extra-High-Impact-Non-Wired-Sports/dp/B0031AR8DI?ie=UTF8&ref=sr_1_5&nodeId=47598031&sr=1-5&qid=1347873348&pf_rd_r=07PHDC0TZW1DE8DFCMWD&pf_rd_m=A2BO0OYVBKIQJM&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=47598031&pf_rd_p=321381387&pf_rd_s=related-items-3

I have the shock absorber made specifically for running and it's amazing! Taken me years to find one that really works. i use it for high impact (netball) as well and it is brilliant. worth every penny even tho i bought it at full price. There are some things it's not worth scrimping on, or all you youngsters are going to regret it later!

lessbounce.com is awesome. It has a selector for your needs and always has special offers. £5 off Shock Absorber (the brand I swear by to keep the girls tamed) and Panache at the moment.

In my experience the ones with enough support never come cheap!

I am a larger person and I found this website fantastic, their advice was spot on too - Not overly cheap though.
M & S have more run of the mill sizes and they look like they would do the job at half the price.
My Shock Absorber was not up to the job and the clasps broke

I've tried cheaper ones and just didn't support well.....i use shock absorber which are brilliant....bought one yesterday from amazon which was £20 which is pretty good for them.

I have a fuller bust and have been wearing 'Shock Absorber' from JJB Sports which I have found fantastic.... holds everything in place and I don't even have to think about them whilst exercising, however I suppose it all depends on how 'cheap' you want cheap to be. Yes ASDA do inexpensive bras but they are low impact and definitely NOT for girls with bigger boobs.

Exactly what I was going to say!

I got a cheap one from Sports Direct and it didnt hold the girls in place at all - Shock Absorber every time now, definitely worth paying a little extra for them and they're great quality - I've had mine for 3years now. Only just having to consider buying another since the girls are shrinking :-( xx

Witchmoo · September 2012

Sportsdirect. I got bras from Londsdale and Nike for less than 50% their original cost (about £12 for Nike and £7 for Londsdale) and Londsdale even work on "real" bra sizes (I'm a 34E, so it's a nightmare to find a sportsbra that fits.) so I can be fairly secure in knowing it fits.
