Pants please! Knickers, underwear, whatever we’re calling it - I would like to hear your views on running underwear! Willing to pay for something that is comfortable and fits but no idea where to start!
I need to bite the bullet and buy a new sports bra for running. I'm on the bigger side of things with a narrow band and my preferred one is no longer available. Any recommendations/suggestions gratefully appreciated please!
I hear you on the sustainable side of things and find it bewildering how many brands there seem to be now. I am five feet tall and think there is a definite gap in the market for petite well made, long lasting active wear. Leggings are a bit easier as you can buy crop or 3/4 length which ends up the right length, but jackets and tops are really hard as I'm quite short in the body but also curvy.
We’ve just done a leggings test with a 5’1” runners testing various pairs for Women’s Running so look out for that in June. I’ll defo be doing a bra piece as it really winds me up what gets called a ‘bra’ sometimes.
Sorry if I’m jumping the gun but I too have big boobs and a narrow band (32G) and I swear by the Shock Absorber D+ sports bra. You can buy your actual bra size rather than just S, M, L, and it provides proper support but it’s comfortable. Also each one lasts about ten years of regular use and washing so worth the inversement.
thank you! I'm similar size! I tried them a few years back when I first started running but they didn't suit - I know things change though so I will give them another look, I had discounted them due to previous wears but definitely time to look again. thanks again!

I have some favourites and they’re very cheap ones from M&S!

ooh thanks, I'll definitely look out for that. And yes - a crop top is NOT a bra!

Thanks for the recommendation! Really useful to get insights from different sized runners to me.
