Have you ever had a bra that was so dear to your heart that you wore the poor bra out? The straps lost their elasticity, the cups were completely worn, and the color went from white to gray? I have!
For me, bras are a big deal. And when I find one that is all-that – I refuse to let it go.
Unfortunately, I cannot walk around without one, and I definitely can’t workout without one! What can I say, I was ‘blessed’ (or something like that)! Being busty is not always easy, especially when trying to find a sports bra! Finding good sports bra is key to limiting chafing, painful bouncing and uncomfortable bra lines.
I’ve heard of ladies that can’t find a sports bra to fit their needs so they resort to wearing two at once for added support. That’s just awful, no thank you. I don’t want a bunch of fabric on my bust… double the sweat!
To find the right bra I: 1. Read reviews. 2. Talk to others! I read raving reviews for the Shock Absorber Sports Bra, Style #B4490 all over the web. Then I actually got first hand opinion by Town Shops’ Nicole, who swears by the bra! Well, I was impressed with the satisfied customers and wanted to test it out for myself!
I was sent a black and white Shock Absorber Sports Bra from the Town Shop. The first thing I noticed was the design. The racer back style is chic. It also has a fun opening on the back – adding some style and flair!
Since the hooks are spread out (the key-hole opening in between) you may adjust the hooks to fit your size. I made the bottom hook looser than the top for comfort! They are double hooks too, more support!This sports bra is snug in the right places, but isn’t immobilizing or suffocating! It is smooth along my skin, and doesn’t cut into my sides. The material is amazing! It dries quickly. It is soft to the touch! It feels great on my skin! Materials: Poleyester, Polyamide, 5% Elastane
The straps are medium thick and lightly padded. Uber-comfortable! They stay in place and provide great support. Minimal bouncing. Great for running and aerobic exercise!
And, although I am not the type that works out just in her sports bra (I wish!) this bra lets you do that! It is secure and doesn’t crush or squeeze your breasts. No uni-boob! It looks classic and gives you full coverage… so you won’t pull a Janet Jackson – having your breast fall out!
For me, I got one size bigger –and it is just right. I find that most sports bras run on the smaller side. Do take notice, this bra is shown in EUR and FR sizes as well as UK. Wow, in EU I am a 80DD! Yikes! I have washed it in the washer and hung out to dry and it is still as good as new!
Overall Opinion: Get this bra! It is truly amazing! If you are big busted or not, it is worth a little extra money! You can find this Shock Absorber bra for $69 and a wide selection of shapewear, hosiery, bras, and bridal lingerie at the Town Shop!
