Bra support!

Hello,

I was wondering if any well endowed ladies had used the Booband instead of a high impact bra - any feedback? facebook.com/LoveBooband/

Thanks! 😊

Um... but you'd still need a sports bra underneath, wouldn't you? And I can get a Shock Absorber (my weapon of choice for my 38DDs) from eBay for less than the £20 for this piece of elastic...

Not for me, thanks, but do let us know if you try it and it works for you!

Yes you would. The problem I have is getting pain in my shoulders and I thought it was still the movement when I run.

I went to get fitted for a shock absorber at the weekend and I couldn't get the right size, I was a bit sad as I normally chose this brand!

Erm, so the band stops them bouncing up, what stops them bouncing down?

Not for me either, and I'm not even all that big, do keep us posted though!

It is an interesting idea, and if it helped keep my HH cups steady then it would be great, but a decent sports bra is still essential to go with it. I favour Panache sports bras but just find something comfortable and supportive for you first.

If they want me to trial one, then I'm good at writing reviews!!!

Thanks for the brand recommendation I'll give Panache a try. I went to get fitted for a shock absorber at the weekend and I couldn't get the right size; my usual cup size was a tiny bit too small and then the next size there was too much! I'm getting shoulder pains so thought I'd try the Booband with my current sports bra and see!
