I bought this bra as I already have two Shock Absorber bras, both of which fit well and are comfortable. Sadly, I followed the advice given by Bravissimo on the selling page for this bra, and went up a back size. This was a big mistake. When I first tried it on at home it looked ok and was comfortable so decided to keep it. However, after my first Zumba class I realised I had made a mistake. It doesn't support my boobs at all - they bounce all over the place, which is very painful at certain times of the month. I persevered with it, thinking it might fit better after I washed it, but sadly no. I went for a run in it and all I could hear was the sound of my boobs clapping together. It would have been funny if it wasn't so painful. I obviously can't return this bra, ... MoreI bought this bra as I already have two Shock Absorber bras, both of which fit well and are comfortable.

I had just wished I'd bought it in my normal size as my other two Shock Absorber bras are great and are still a good fit and comfortable despite being 5 years old. I love all the items I have bought from Bravissimo except for this bra. I will continue to purchase from Bravissimo, but I do think they need to rethink the sizing advice with this particular bra.

My boobs are somewhere between 12G and 10H depending on the brand. So they're heavy, awkward, usually getting elbowed, and make far too much contact with cupboard doors accidentally.They also sublux (partially dislocate) my ribs if left unrestrained for too long.I had recently purchased a Shock Absorber Active D+ Classic that was Very Good but the bottom band has a tendency to roll up on itself after about 6hrs wear, and ends up tooth-flossing my ribs which is not ideal and quite painful.I noticed the different closure for this model and figured it was worth trying to see if it behaved differently.

The only downside to this closure design is that if you're not flexible or hypermobile, you might need someone else's assistance to get all strapped in. Or maybe you've got smaller boobs and can wriggle in and out? I know I can't.Both models of the Shock Absorber bras hold my ******* in against my chest firmly, I feel very supported and secure while wearing them. The straps sit nice and high on my shoulders, closer to my collarbone where the muscles can take the load. Excellent design, easily the best non-wired bras in my experience so far.

I'm a fairly loyal Shock Absorber punter, as I feel their bras live up to a lot of punishment. This one is no exception, although I was a bit horrified the first time I tried it on that the sizes had all changed as it felt so TIGHT. However, despite a few contortions to get it done up over the first month or so, it settled down and so did my technique (old fashioned, do up round front, turn back and wriggle in!!) - and after a year, it's not something I think about. My punishment is running (5km to half marathons generally), and the bra is really good, zero movement, straps, chestband, everything stays in place. I also wear it for callisthenics, you stay the same shape in a handstand!! You feel like you are locked in, which for me I prefer. It's comfortable, but it ... MoreI'm a fairly loyal Shock Absorber punter, as I feel their bras live up to a lot of punishment.

Working out the economics, I've had over 200 wears out of this bra now and it's still going strong and washes well. If it's like my others, it will still be going in 2-3 years, well worth the money.

What’s not to like. Shock absorber’s are always my go to sports bra. As always for high impact I have to double up and wear a compression bra over the top (never found a sports bra that doesn’t require this for high impact activities for me). This is comfortable when doing low impact and comfortable enough to wear all day! Also love the colour!!
Great sports bra, really secure and don't feel any movement. I mainly use it for running, so it's really put through its paces! I would give it five stars but if I do a run of 8/10K or longer, there's a seam in the centre at the front maybe 4cm long which starts to chafe. I think it's just that it's slightly rough rather than the bra fitting badly as I have no other problems and when I wear a plaster in that area it's fine. Defo recommend sizing up in the back, I'm usually a 30E but wear 32DD. Have used this style for years!
I went up a band size as advised on the website, but also had to go up a cup for a good fit. I'm 30F and the 32FF fit me well. However I had to return it because even on their shortest setting the straps were a bit too long. I don't know if it was just because of this, but I found it didn't offer enough support - too much bounce! Shame as it's very comfortable, hence I would still recommend it. Just not for me
This is the most comfortable Shock Absorber bra I have worn.The two back fastenings give you a feeling of complete security. Your whole chest is very comfortably enclosed - nothing moves and nothing bulges out. It is a compression bra but actually gives you a nice shape.I have a dodgy shoulder but can still easily do up the top fastening.Definitely follow the sizing instructions - I am usually a 34F and 36F in this bra fits perfectly.
It's has 2 adjustable straps at the back and already mentioned cups cut to fit around the breast instead of just flattening it and in turn making it more supportive. I would still like a bit more padding in nipple area(but not full on foam inserts)as it's not 100% seamless but then again more seamless than other bras of same thickness(or even the white Champion collab). I like that these are shorter as I find most regular sized too long for my torso(I'm 5'4). It's definitely supportive but if you want to immobilise your chest to the point then I found adding boob band do the trick even on lower support ones. I'm def sticking to shock absorber after I tried 2 of their sports bras of this kind
This is absolutely ridiculous now. I paid for the bra and then 1 week later they tell me it’s not in stock and if I wanted a refund to contact them. They did offer an extra $20 to buy another bra but I wasn’t happy with the other bras.I asked for a refund, it’s now been nearly 3 weeks!!!!! And I haven’t received my money nor a response to two emails. This is beyond ridiculous. I hope this review lights a fire under the team to contact me.
I ordered one size up in the back, as this was strongly recommended on the website and in reviews. In my case this meant that the band around my ribs was not tight enough and therefore the whole point was lost, of holding my boobs still while running.Additionally I had not really focussed while ordering on whether the sports bra was wired or not. I focussed on the fact that this bra is 'maximum impact' and marketed as suitable for running, horse riding or the gym- it sounded suitable for running if you are a GG sized woman. In reality when I tried it on the lack of underwriting meant that basically the boobs are squashed to the chest, and also squashed together, with no shape and no definition. The feeling of my boobs being squashed together like that made me feel ... MoreI ordered one size up in the back, as this was strongly recommended on the website and in reviews.

The feeling of my boobs being squashed together like that made me feel sweaty and uncomfortable - and that was just standing still!I tried various tops on with the sports bra and this confirmed my bad feeling - I looked massive, barrel shaped and with the bra not feeling tight enough around the ribs I would not have attempted running in this bra. A sports bra may not be 'lingerie' and not the most sexy item ever.... but I still want to feel attractive in it.
