Buying my first sports bra

Hey peeps, am looking for advice re buying my first sports bra. I'm unlikely to use it that often so want something cheap - currently scouring ebay. I'm usually 30DD or 30E, but am fearful that Shock Absorbers in these sizes may end up being teeny tiny. Is anyone able to advise on whether it is a good idea to size up a band in Shock Absorber bras or whether this does indeed defeat the purpose?! The model I'm looking at is Ultimate Dry Advantage, of which there are none on here. Thanks, any help much appreciated!

  • Shock Absorber runs very tight on the band and cup, so size up in both if you also like breathing.
    I know they are always super cheap on ebay.co.uk but not sure about which models.

  • Panache Sports bra #5021, I think, is the best. I bought one about 2 months ago, & just bought another yesterday.(I dropped 15 lbs and needed a smaller cup size.) They are around $60, but Amazon has some colors in your size for $39. Free shipping & returns w/ prime. They are very well constructed & seem true to size, in my opinion. Nice tight band and normal cups. Plus, it's a real bra with underwire and cups. It doesn't just smash you!
