How To Banish The Bounce | Sports Bra Review

A few weeks ago I was a very lucky winner of a UKRunChat competition, with the prize being the Shock Absorber Ultimate Run Bra!

If you know me, I normally live in and swear by the original Nike sports bras. This bra won the 'Best Women's Sports Bra' in the recent 2015 Running Awards, (quite a title!) so I was very excited to try something new. I was sent the black and lemon style, which is limited edition and heart rate monitor compatible. Unfortunately I don't own one, so can't comment on how well this feature works yet, but I may have to make a cheeky purchase soon.

As soon as I put this bra on I felt very well supported. The top clip at the back and well-fitted band are great. The inside of the bra is totally seamless, so it's super comfortable! The back straps are adjustable and there's no elastic involved, so no worry about the straps stretching and becoming less supportive over time.

I've been out for a few runs in this bra now and can say it definitely does it's job. You always know you have a good sports bra when you don't feel any bounce going on! I have had no chafing either, which is a winner in my books. The only issue is that I am 'That Girl' who can't do her bra up from the back (bit of inside info there!), so to get this on when I'm alone it's a bit of a mission. I have to do up the top clip, slip it over my head and jump around for a few minutes to do it up in the back. I'm going to have to figure it out.. What can I say, I'm special!

After testing this sports bra out, I would highly recommend it. It's super supportive and very comfortable to work out in. Pop over to www.lessbounce.com and treat yourself! There is a great variety of colours available (check out the blue!), so I may just have to get myself another... ;)

I would like to say a massive Thank You to Less Bounce for giving this away and UKRunChat (@UKRunChat on Twitter) for running the competition. I never win anything, so I'm stoked!
