Sports Bra aagghhhh!

We all know the importance of a good sports bra but why oh why is it so impossible to find one in a big cup size?

I am an H cup and simply can't find a sports bra in my size, why?

Do the companies that make them assume anyone with bigger boobs can't or won't run?

I am a size 16 but with the handicap of a 32h bust!!!!

Help..............

I know exactly what you're talking about... I don't have your size but still a very complicated one...

Did you check Shock Absorber? I got mine there and the Level 4 bras are very good for running. Nothing is bouncing ;)

Good luck!

I've got a really good one from M&S but not sure what cup sizes they go up to. They are so important aren't they - I couldn't run without them totally pinned down!!

I would throughly recommend the shock absorber run bra shockabsorber.co.uk/en/prod....

It doesn't go up to G cup but I went up a bra size and down a cup size to get the best fit, so maybe pop into a shop to try a 34F?

-edit thought you said G, worth popping into a shop to try them on anyway as you never know!

Just as an addition: I'm not sure if they have H cups but they definitely have G cups (at least some of the bras, not sure if all types are available in G cup).

Hi! Shock absorber are definitely the way forward - as a 38HH (or more!) I was able to manage with their biggest sizes (40HH I found once; 38HH otherwise); I am now down slightly in bust size (at 3 stone lighter) to 36HH - I'm sure one of the links above will get you what you need! :-)

I went on the hunt for a sports bra in a large size yesterday and finally found one at M&S. wore it today and it was worth the effort. Maybe I will order another from shock absorber too.
