Sports bra for a big woman runner

[CruCru]

I know this should go in Style and Beauty but I thought it would be more sensible to ask some runners. I am a 40 F. Can any of you recommend a sports bra? Thanks!

Shock absorber. I got mine from debenhams.

This is the best sports bra I have ever had.

Another vote for Shock Absorber, I've been wearing them for years to run in, even when I went up to 34J while BFing, and they're great.

I've got the Freya linked to above, and its really good. Have you had your size checked? Its really important to get a good fit on sports bras to protect your norks, and if M&S have measured you before it won't be right

Enell.

Wicked thanks all. I've ordered the shock absorber on Amazon as I'm still breastfeeding so wanted something without an underwire.

I have this one from Bravissimo, it is ace and comes in some good colours. If you can, go in and try some on and jump about!

My problem is that at present I'm a 42F and most seem to only go up to 40 band size

Enell without a doubt. I have large, wide boobs and this is the only bra I can run in.

Freya active underwired is excellent. And it's fine to wear wires when breastfeeding. Shock absorber Run is not bad, but comes up small, so you probably need to order a size up.

Are you sure of the size though, have you measured your underbust recently? I'm a size 12 and wear a 30 bra.

Well I got the shock absorber and it is okay - I think I am used to my super comfy nursing bras so I felt a bit "bundled up" in the sports bra. I'll try some of the others as well.

[dyslexicdespot]

Go with the Freya. I am breastfeeding as well, and it is really quite amazing. It is the only sports bra I have ever tried that keeps my breasts completely supported without mushing them.

Get a bra extender to make it an inch or 2 bigger.

cry Cru, just to warn you the width bands come up small on Shock absorbers. I wear a 38 instead of a 36 and it's still snug!
