Can anyone suggest ones that are actually decent for riding?

I've been looking on wiggle but there's so many lol

    Another vote for Shock Absorvers! I tried a few before I found them and they're by far the best IMHO.

    Yep, Shock Absorbers are amazing! And I think they look really nice too. I got mine from moveactive.co.uk...really useful site and good selection to choose from!

    Shock Absorber from the gossard shop at Castleford - not too sexy as it is nose-bag sized but nice styling, colours and seems to keep the blighters under contol!

    For Shock Absorbers get yourself down the local TK Maxx, I've always got mine from there for about £7, plus they have random colours like purple and yellow which is so much more exciting than white :)

    There's a few eBay shops that do new Shockabsorbers as well, just had one arrive in the post today (£12 including postage), complete with tags and Shockabsorber coathanger!

    Yep I've got a number of shockabsorber bras. Picked them up for between £3 and £5 each in TK Maxx. Bargaintastic!

    Shockabsorbers are my saviour, and far more effective than any other brand I've tried. I started out running before biking - if you can run past some builders without a 'careful luv, youll get a black eye' comment, you know its working! :lol:

    Yep, random sizes including very small for those of us who are neglected by other manufacturers.... We still need them! :oops:

    I never thought about that. I am the opposite end of the scale and always grump about not having nice bras available to buy - I think I have more shock absorbers than other types of bra in my collection.

    I'll be making a trip to TK Maxx when I'm back in the UK.

    Might go and see how many odd looks I get if I and start rooting around for shock absorber bras tomorrow (I'm Kitty's boyfriend, before anyone asks).

    Hi Ladies!

    I'm in the States, and new here. But this is a subject I really am glad to see. But, how does US bra sizing compare to UK sizing? I'm a bit on the endowed side. Well, OK, very much on the endowed side! And at least over here, you can only get good things if you are a toothpick with a couple of pimples if you get my drift. For example Pearl Izumi--thier size large is about a 10 in US sizes! I also apologize in advance for any glitches in phrasing--not only do I speak American english instead of British english, but I do it with a southern accent tempered with a Texas pride! But I'm glad to have found a forum where people are more interested in helping each other instead of trying to prove the world is full of idiots.

    Best wishes from this side of the pond! :D

    Hi Valerie

    Welcome to the forum.
    I am in the same boat as you and I only get bras from a specific shop here in the UK.
    www.bravissimo.com I can't even get them in Marks and Spencer any more.
    I know what you mean about Pearl Izumi stuff. I am sure there are lots of people who like getting out on their bikes but aren't built like stick insects.
    Enough of that now, enjoy the forum.
