Did you know we don't use tape measures at Bravissimo? Instead we fit by eye as knowing how a bra should look and feel is the best way to find your most comfortable fit - here's how…
How do you know if your bra fits right?
1
How should your band fit?
Most of the support comes from the underband. It should be horizontal around your body without riding up or digging in. We recommend fastening a new bra on its loosest hooks so that you can tighten it if it stretches over time.
2
Where should the underwire of a bra sit?
The underwires in your bra should sit flat on your ribcage (not your boob!) all the way round to your armpits. The wires between your boobs should lie flat against your chest without digging in, rubbing or poking out.
3
How should a bra cup fit?
Make sure your boobs are fully in the cups – a bit of a scoop, wiggle and jiggle usually does the trick! You should fill the cups without any bulging or wrinkling even in a lower-cut style and there should be a smooth line, with no ridge, where the top and the side of the fabric ends.

I just love this bra - so much so that I now own 4. No underwires, so comfortable, fairly flattering shape and absolutely NO boob movement whatsoever. Whoever designed it is a genius. Yes it's quite expensive, but it's worth every penny.

34H. I have finally found a sports bra that is really comfortable and completely supportive. I run and exercise every day. I have ordered 2 more. Huge thanks.

I love this bra. I have bought three for work (I'm a nurse) after the Oxford store lady recommended it and they are comfortable enough to wear for long shifts - which is saying something for a sports bra. It doesn't roll up and I love how they have a minimiser effect too. I tend to wear them under jumpers and high neck tops that I couldn't normally get away with. Obviously it also works for sports but I find its value is in its versatility. Amazing find.

I chose this style rather than the specific running bra after reading reviews. I have worn it for every run since I got it, which happened to coincide with my completion of Couch to 5K. It’s so comfortable I’m not even aware of it while I’m running. Functional rather than pretty but give me functionality any day if it keeps the puppies in check! I also love the fact that it has a clasp opening - no more contortions trying to get out of a sweaty bra!
Worth the investment and I will probably get another at some point but they are quite pricey so I’ll have to wait a while. However it is good to have found my go-to sports bra after trying so many others over the years.
Thank goodness I read the reviews before I purchased - definitely go up a back size - I felt very odd getting the biggest bra ever but it was the right decision.

Review by Nicola B on
Ok so this isn't exactly the sexiest sports bra on the market but it's definitely the most supportive. I am a keen runner and with a 30FF chest there is a definite need for good support! I have tried, returned, tried and bought other styles: some with wires, some without and this is definitely the best. I find racer back sports bras uncomfortable as they pull on my neck too much so this is definitely more comfortable. Yes it comes up small so I would definitely recommend going up a back size and down a cup size but this is no real hardship.
I wish Shock Absorber would make this with different patterns and colours to make it look a little more attractive.

Review by Harriet on
Honestly, not much to say but this is genuinely the best sports bra for larger sizes! I do get back pain if I were to wear it all day (I have been known to wear a sports bra all day before). So it's for exercise (or gardening) only really. No movement, allows me to run comfortably, no ''double boob'' issues you get with some other sports-bras. Really strong base under the boobs that doesn't give me any chaff or rubbing.

Review by Petra on
I didn’t think think it was possible to find a sports bra that held my boobs in place, but this one actually does! Like, it’s freaky how little they move. But it also doesn’t mash them down, and I don’t have a total mono boob with it, I’d wear it under regular clothes. And it’s wireless! I can’t remember the last time I wore a wireless bra and felt comfortable in it. Super pumped to use it for working out! Word of advice if you purchase it, keep your cup size, but size up the band. I’m normally a 32G, but ordered a 34G, and it fits perfectly.
