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.

Great sports bra. I havent bought a new sports bra for over 10 years, had my old faithful which felt irreplaceable, but this did the job. Definitely follow others advice, go up one for the back and down a cup! I'm 32G but bought a 34F. perfect.
Great support, but rubs4 out of 5 stars

This is the first sports bra I have bought, having recently taken up the park runs! Went up a back size and down a cup size after reading reviews. Great fit, and pleased with the support. However, I have had a few issues with rubbing causing friction burns. At first this was on my collar bone, which was sorted out with a well placed plaster before use. Now however one of the seams on the cup is rubbing which was very sore half way round a run! Again a plaster will stop the problem, just a bit disappointed I had to do this on the first place.

I absolutely love this sports bra- it is the only bra I have ever worn that stops the bounce. I was sceptical because it was wire free, but it really holds firm and supports. It covers from the very top of your boobs to the bottom giving great coverage, but because of this can provide a bit of a squashed look- not that I mind as it looks fine under a singlet. I use mine for gym sessions, squash, snowboarding etc and is great in all situations. I have had two of these for over a year and have worn them consistently and they have held up to numerous wears and washing. As my body has changed I have just adjusted the straps and back fastening and they have fit- am stocking up again with my new size, but will still be able to wear the old ones too.

I play rugby in mine. Very comfortable and very supportive. I find that when buying in a sports bra I need to go up a back size and usually come down a cup size (or two depending on the bra) - for comfort. I wouldn't wear it for more than 2-3 hours, it is tight. But then it is doing a lot of work!!
Very happy with it. Would totally recommend for the bigger boobed sports woman :-)

Review by Laura K on
I'm a size 30 f normally and wanted a good sports bra for doing zumba etc. I was shocked that I had to get a much bigger size but it maybe the shape of the bra that makes you need a bigger size sometimes; I needed a 34 dd instead. The bra is comfortable and very supportive and I think zumba will be more fun now without having to worry about my bra.
The only thing I am aware of under my Lycra top the bra does show the bra lines at times
But I get used to it.

Review by Tess on
Tried this on in-store today. It's a great sports bra and offers very, very high impact support. However, for me, it was the kind of sports bra that really just straps you up and sucks you in! It totally gave me a mono-boob mound on my chest - good for practicality, but, I participate in a sport that is photographed a lot so not so great for the look/shape under clothing/sports uniforms.
Would definitely recommend either way especially if you're not bothered about what it looks like. I would've bought it if I'd had more money! As far as the value for money goes, it's actually excellent value - will most likely purchase one in the near future for training and going to the gym.

Very happy with this one, it gives as good a support as you can get in my size but is still comfortable. Would recommend a smaller cup size than usual (I went down 2 cup sizes) if you want it tight with good support for running. Would love to have it in more colours!

I needed a sports bra for jogging, this looked good and fairly priced but i couldn't even breathe in this without my boobs bouncing let alone jog. Very disappointed as Shock absorber claims it's bounce control tested - I can only imagine they tested it on an A cup
