    Hey Hun I only use This Shock Absorber ultimate run sports brait’s full open back this one is the stronger ones out if the lot mac my god stay away they are waste of cash at least sports bra you will use again at the gym This Shock Absorber ultimate run sports bra
    sports bra has been created especially for running, with an enhanced support system to target excessive breast movement and featuring seam-free and concealed elastic to reduce rubbing and chafing. This Shock Absorber running bra has been proven to reduce breast bounce by up to 78% I used this with my full uplift but you will need to be fitted as it done by width should u chose it

    How to measure yourself

    When measuring, remember to wear a bra, keep the tape measure straight and snug and make sure it’s warm!

    A – CUP MEASUREMENT – Measure around your body at the fullest part of the bust. Don’t have the tape measure too tight that it flattens your bust.

    B- ACTUAL AROUND BODY MEASUREMENT – Measure around your body underneath your bust. Pull the tape measure quite tight.
