Customer Reviews Shock Absorber D+ Max Support Sports Bra N109

I am a 36GG and I ordered this bra in that size, the band however, seems to run tight. It was so tight I got out the tape measure just to make sure I knew my band size, there it was 36 on the tape. I returned it and got a 38GG which fits perfect, though my mother as a joke tried it on and asked if it was a ferret hammock... Obviously this is a sports bra and not meant to be sexy but it can hold my 8 pound dog just fine (yes a bit weird for testing a bra, once again my mother was at work with this). So if it holds the dog and she feels safe, just think how my breasts feel in this. They feel supported. Only downside is, it is a bit pricey for a sports bra though the quality is amazing and makes it worth it. I just wish that there were more sports bras out there made with such quality and in large cup sizes. Luckily Zappos and Shock Absorber have me covered for now.

This is a great sports bra for the fuller figure - it is very supportive and can hold up to the most intense workout. It's also easy to get on and off, and very comfortable to wear.

Fits like a glove. I have 36 G breasts and this holds them in place! Recc for bigger chested ladies! Great buy.

Very comfortable and it fits properly -no uniboob! I wear it during yoga and nothing slips out. I have never had a sports bra that really supports and keeps 'the girls' in place.

I use this bra for all sorts of exercise. I have a large bust and I am nursing too and this is the best I have found. It is easy to get on and off (just like a regular bra) and comfortable to wear. My issue with every sports bra I try is that I get chafed when I run distances of 3 miles or more. If I wear this bra and a simple sports bra on top I don't get any rub spots. I wear this one alone for every other exercise and it is perfect!

I'm always a little skeptical when buying a sports bra, because of how large my chest is. I was extremely skeptical when I opened the package and saw that it is not underwire, which I exclusively wear. I was, however, happily surprised! I usually wear a 36G (with the hook on the largest setting), but after reading reviews I opted for a 38G and am very glad I did. The bra is about as comfortable as they come (although it comes off right after the work out!) and is quite supportive and the padding in the shoulders is great! It comes up a little high (I wear v-neck work out tops and it sometimes shows) and it does kind of smash the ladies together more than I would like, but it does keep them in place and keeps my shoulders from aching. I'll definitely be buying this one in an other color.

I literally have tried at least 30 different sport bras. I have a bigger bust, but smaller frame so it is really hard to find something that fits. I decided on this sports bra after all of the other reviews that I read. I am an active runner and need the support. This is the only sports bra that I have tried that I like. It fits well and I actually feel supported. I didn't give it a perfect score because at times it rubs on my arms a bit (by the armpit), but I think its because I have a smaller frame and it really doesn't bother me. I have been told that I am a 34DD to a 34E, and I wear a size small bottom. I got the 34E and it works well. I would recommend giving it a try!

This is the best support for DDs that I've found. That's a sad state of affairs considering that this bra is 1. Very ugly -- the many seams show under clothing. 2. Itchy and scratchy. Really. My breasts itch for hours. 3. Not entirely well designed. The bra comes up high on the arm pits and is binding to that bit of chest above and to the side of the breast, almost under the arms. You can tell from the picture how high this is around the arms. If the fabric were more comfortable, this would be a 4-5 star bra. It's the only one out of 5 that I'm keeping. There's a fortune to be made in a comfortable bra that offers support for large-breasted women.

This is the sports bra I've always needed! I wear a 34H and needless to say, it's difficult to keep everything in place when I'm being active. This sports bra is well worth the money.

This bra is worth its weight in gold! I have been large chested all my life and have never found a bra that made running so awesome! The "girls" stay put and it's comfortable. Thank you Zappos for carrying this bra!

I bought this bra for zumba class. I absolutely love this bra! I feel like I can do a higher impact exercise and feel supported! Highly suggest you buy one!

Are you a D+ or larger and enjoy a good cardio workout? This bra is for you. It rocks and so does Zappos. End of story.

My breasts are a 36G. This bra keeps them stable and fairly immobile. Nuff said.

Finally! No chaffing and almost zero motion (I think it'd be impossible to completely immobilize my 34E's)! I have searched many hours and tried on countless bras to find one of this quality that does what it says it will! I'm always skeptical about buying bras online, but Zappos is an awesome company (and they have free shipping), so I felt comfortable ordering this product from them. It's quite possibly the best fitting bra I've ever owned.

I love this bra! It may not be the most feminine-looking bra, but when you're running, who cares. I'm a 34DD, and I almost forget "they" are there...never happened before. It's like invisibility technology...no movement, no discomfort, no sweat issues. As for performance, the first 5K I ran in it I PR'd 35 seconds faster than my last 5K! Could it be the bra?! You won't be disappointed.

This bra does what it claims to do! The design is pretty, too. The straps don't dig into my shoulders. Motion control is excellent.

I have tried every bra out there. This one was the absolute best for being a non-smasher, yet fully encapsulated bra. It allows "the girls" to be round yet held firm. It is lightweight and breathable. Cups have a frontal chest alignment, so if you have breast-pit overflow, be aware.

This bra is wonderful! I've more expensive sports bras, but none hold a candle to this one. I'm a 32F in regular bras, but a 34FF in this sports bra. I recommend ordering up a size.

The bra material was thinner than I thought that it would be. It was, however, comfortable. It still keeps me in place for the most part, however there is still movement when I run. Alas, I will still wear my Nike sportsbra over the top. I would still recommend this bra for anyone who would like to have fairly good support.

I am a 34DD and this was not a great fit for me. With the exception of my bust I am on the thinner side (5'8", 135 pounds) and I am pretty fit. The way the arm holes are cut they pushed everything up under my arm pit so I had some spill over on the sides. The support was good and I will give high marks for no bounce. But I am returning it.

The fit seems true to size. The support seems okay for walking/elliptical. But I couldn't get over the scratchiness of the fabric under my arm. Something didn't seem right.

Ideally I would have ordered a 38 H, but that was not an option. Settled for 40G, and on the last hook, the band rolls up. It does offer great support during my workout (elliptical and walking) but it make me sweat like crazy. Not my favorite purchase, but it gets the job done.

This is the best bra ever. I bought one, and bought another two weeks later. First of all, it is not a monoboob bra, which would be enough for me right there. The support is great. I feel like I am staying in one place whether I am running, walking, or bending over. Everything just stays put. I am a 36D and it is a real treat to actually look smaller. So I wear this bra more often than my t-shirt bra. Having a smaller chest also just makes me feel smaller all over. Also, the straps never fall down! The only thing is that it does have a seam diagonally across the middle of the bra. You cannot feel it at all, but you can kind of see it if you are wearing a plain t-shirt without writing or something on the front. Still, it is not enough to keep me from wearing it. If you have struggled with finding a sports bra, give this one a go. I think you will like it!

I'm a 34C, sometimes a 34D. However, in this bra a 32DD seemed to fit me the best. I tried a lot of sports bras on and this one held the girls still. The Le Mystere and Natori sports bras didn't offer enough support for me. I liked this one and the Moving Comfort Juno. These two seems to hold everything in place the best for zumba. Thanks to Zappos and their unbeatable customer service, I found a few bras that really work for me.

My identical twins are not moving in this bra. I love it! Best sports bra that I have tried.
