Shock Absorber Women's D+ Max Sports Bra Padded

Great product! I play volleyball so I jump a lot, I also run and row and this is great discovery for me!Got this bra on-line as it was cheaper than in the shop where I bought my first shock absorber bra.Now I am an owner of two almost exactly identical bras. No difference in overall appearance, only the one I bought in shop had company logo written in silicony type thing at the front, and this one, ordered onlie - a material one. Both are the same style, respectively N109 and SN109, the one bought in the shop has 'shock absorber' embroidered on the band and bought on-line does not. I think the one bought on-line is perhaps and old version of the one that I bought in shop but there is no significant difference.Bands for both bras when measured not stretched come to 25 inches, I am 28 inches and its perfect for me, I wear size 32F - I measure 28inches under and 38.5 inches in chest and this size is perfect for me.Thats how I worked out my size - 28 inches (my measurement under) plus 4 inches (if you have 27,29,31 etc. under you add 3 inches instead of 4) that gives band size 32, than 38.5 minus 32 (your band size) gives 6.5 inches and that places you in cup E/F I went for F and it was a good choice, E would work but it would be perhaps bit too tight. I found this page [...] helpful.Loads of information but I hope helpful ones :) If you are size D plus get this bra, you wont regret it!! :)

I have to buy 1 size big to fit me. But its comfortable for both sports and days to day use.

I ordered this sports bra in anticipation of a great fit and a great support. It didn't materialise. In general, it has a good cut, but there is something wrong with the side panels that come too high and cut into the flesh on the side of the armpits. Only trying it on left red-ish marks and I cannot see being able to wear it without discomfort. Also, I was not very keen on the material. It felt harsh on the skin. However, I can see why it got so many good reviews, as it would give a very good support. If it was slightly curved in the area mentioned earlier, it would've been a great sports bra despite my dislike of the fabric. I am disappointed it isn't for me.

Have used shock absorber before so familiar with this product. It is used for running and weight training. It provides excellent support and great padding on the shoulders. I think there may have been a change in the cut, as it now sits quite high in the armpit and can be uncomfortable at times. I have been remeasured recently and my size has not changed, so this may just be a manufacturer change. This is a shame as I never had any previous problems with this style. Will stick with purelime now.

Generally I am pleased with new sports bra although for first few wearings it was quite difficult to fasten due to the elastic being quite hard and stiff. It is now beginning to become a little more pliable and a lot easier to fasten. It is very supportive and does the job well!

Love this bra, discovering it liberated me to dance more freely at my dance classes (at first it felt as if I had no breasts!) and I also wear it with clothes where I don't want too much curve to show (also works as a minimiser!). It is not too comfortable to wear all day or at home, but sports bras are not meant for this anyway.

This bra is the best invention since sliced bread for larger chested girls like myself. It's worth paying a bit extra as the quality is well worth it. My workout is worthless if I forget to bring this in my gym bag.

I love this bra so much because it gave me a firm support as I was a 36GG and I found it difficult to get bras of my size with good support but this ones were execellent as I can jump in them whilst doing my dance exercise.
