This bra was not a good fit for me. For starters, it had no underwire, which I think is necessary for D+ cups, especially when it comes to strenuous activity and exercise. Also, it runs very small. I take a 30G in most bras, and sometimes need to go down to a 28 band. This bra was very very tight. I had to use an extender just to close it. Also, the cups were at least two sizes too small. Even with the extender, I was spilling out from the sides and had massive quadraboobs, despite the fact that my breasts are bottom heavy and not full on ... top. So if you are a 30G, and you like the style of this bra, I would recommend you try 32GG or 32H especially if you're full on top.
I would not buy this bra again even if the size was right. I found the material in the straps scratchy. The bra itself does not look very flattering and is also uncomfortable. The shape it gave my boobs was very torpedo like. It was the pointiest bra I've ever seen. I felt like a Madonna wannabe. I bought it at clearance but promptly returned it once I tried it on because I knew there was no fixing it and I was very disappointed mainly with the sizing. I understand that there are size variations between different brands but come on - two or three sizes too small in the cup? and the band is at least one size too small? That's like trying to pass a 4 passenger sedan as an 8 passenger van.
I think it would be better to spend more money and go for the Panache variety of sports bras. They are far superior to this Shock Absorber in every way.
