serena's sports bra
      #416023 - 03/07/2009 10:15

does anyone know what make/model she wears? or how can I find out? I, too, am bothered, in my sport (particularly running) by the bounce. Serena's sports bra seems to give her excellent, immobile (!) support. That would be my aim, since I, too, am - er - well-endowed.

Might be worth popping into Marks and Spencers for a bra fitting. I plucked up the courage and went to be measured a few weeks ago. I was one of the many women wearing the wrong size bra and since being measured now don't 'wobble'. After measuring they select a bra in the correct size and check that it's fitting correctly. They're really helpful. You might need to book a time for measuring, depending on how busy they are, but go and have a chat to them and they'll tell you if they can help.

In M&S they have a variety of sports bras depending on the level of exercise you do. I just took a selection in the fitting room, tried them on and did a few jumps etc to check the 'bounce factor'.

They are expensive, but Enell are meant to be the 'Rolls Royce' of sports bras. Figleaves.com sell them, but they aren't listed if you search by brand, only if you search for Enell. The sizing is a bit odd (I'm a 32E and would have to get a size 0) but it is explained on the site. I haven't had any experience of them but have heard that bouncing is a thing of the past with these.

Sorry to those who like M&S but they have always got my sizing wrong when they have measured me - band size two sizes too big, cup size four sizes too small. Go somewhere like John Lewis, House of Fraser, or best of all Rigby and Peller. Once you know your size, then by and large you can shop almost anywhere... just adapting to suit different brands.

I tried loads of sports bras and eventually found the Shock Absorber style B109 is the most comfortable. I'm a 34G (yikes that looks awful when written down!) and do cross training and badminton and this bra gives me minimum bounce. Make sure you do the back strap up tight enough whichever bra you get. Let us know how you get on with your search

I'm a 32c and as a runner i've tried many many different types of bra but always seem to come back to the shock absorber. The D+ max is my current favourite, nothing moves once it's on! One of the best places for sports bras is boobydoo.co.uk. It's really user friendly and there are lots of reviews so it's really easy to make an informed choice. It's one piece of kit you should never skimp on whatever your size. I hope you find what you want.
