Bra Shopping Taken to a Whole New Level
This is kind of travel related as many of us have to run through airports to make our flights and as their graphics show, running with improper support, well, just see for yourself... http://www.shockabsorber.co.uk/

Nice to see that somebody makes the combination of smaller band/back with a large cup--it's quite frustrating to see how few manufacturers do.
I'm quite fond of this sports bra. When it was first recommended, my thought was "what does Donna Karan know about sports bras?!?", but it works well without the dreaded uniboob.

It was painful to watch my size nude run. I did like the "Bionic Woman" slide though, much less painful. But where can you buy them?I tried putting in my zipcode and came up not available. Are they only in UK?

I'll definitely look for one the next time I'm in Victoria's Secret (they don't have any stores around here, unfortunately). I like sports bras that don't squish my girls flat into the uniboob look.

Did a google search and found that https://www.figleaves.com, has a variety of shock absorber bras. I just ordered one in my size. Shipping was only $3 and they have free returns. It's worth a shot. Thanks for the tip.

I do know that I take the same size in my sports bra as I do in Fantasie... .
