What activity will you use the sports bra for? Running

What size is the sports bra? 32C

“Excellent support for two hour runs. This is the only run bra or firm support bra I feel fully supported in for longer runs. I still use another shock absorber crop top over the top for extra compression. I find the shoulder straps slightly too long, usually wear on shortest setting but in the past I've had to cut and shorten them. True to size but I find there is a little too much volume of fabric in the top of the cup, they're made for a 20 year old I think! I find this with any full cup bra though and wear half cup balcony bras for everyday for this reason or there is too much fabric at the top of the cups. With this run bra I make a triangle shaped dart in the centre top which makes the cups less full at the top for flatter breasts, to get a firmer fit in that area. It's not difficult to get into. Every other run bra I've tried offers less support and most are impossible to put on or get off when wet without assistance, so Shock Absorber wins hands down on that too. Less chafing than other bras due to the ultra firm fit. When the bra starts to chafe under the arms/at the sides it just means the elastic has reached the end of its life and the bra need replacing. When new, these bras will keep you running in comfort for hours, even when wet, with no painful chafe!”

“Need to get your right size to get full benefit of this outstanding run bra. Been wearing these for about 14 years which includes many races of varying distances and 8 marathons. Supremely comfortable, wicking and supportive. Recommed using bodyglide or similar non friction cream under front band on very long runs to prevent sweat rubs. Normally wear 34C but was recommemded to try 32D which was too small and uncomfortable to had to return. Refund nice and prompt thank you. Will re-order my usual size soon.”

Hi, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your product review on the Shock Absorber Ultimate Run Bra! We are really pleased to hear how much you love this style and the comfort and support this provides you when running long distances. We are sorry to hear the size you initially ordered was not suitable - we do recommend sizing up in the band in this style as the band does tend to run small. If you usually wear a 34C we would recommend a 36C. We would be more than happy to help with sizing and fitting if you would like any further assistance, please just get in touch with a member of our team on the live chat, phone or e-mail. Thank you again for sharing your experience - we hope you enjoy your workouts! Please let us know if we can offer you any further assistance via email: info@boobydoo.co.uk. Thanks, Georgia and the boobydoo team

“Unfortunately, I couldn't get it on. Ordered my usual size and was rather surprised and disappointed. I couldn't see how I would have done it up at the back, had I been able to get it on, either.”

We do offer a virtual fitting service: https://www.boobydoo.co.uk/virtual-fitting and have live chat option if you are struggling to find the correct size for you or need advice on sizing when it comes to different sports bra within our range. Please do let us know if we can offer you any further assistance via our email: info@boobydoo.co.uk. Thanks Millie and the boobydoo team.
