Invisible Sports Bra

Multiway sports bra invisible under clothes!

Multiway sports bra invisible under clothes!

If you are looking for a sports bra that doesn’t show under tops, have a look at the Shock Absorber multiway sports bra. I have switched to this skin tone bra to wear under white sports tops for Spring/Summer when I go to the gym. The cups are made from a double layer of microfibre and are completely smooth, therefore pretty well invisible under clothes.

This is the most flexible sports bra Shock Absorber have invented as there are 5 different ways to wear the straps, depending on your sport and the shape of the top you are wearing over it. There are 2 sets of straps – wide and padded for comfort, or narrow to wear under strappy tops. A strip of open weave webbing runs beneath the bust helping you stay cool and as you’d expect, this bra features all the latest moisture wicking coolmax fabrics on offer.

Our verdict on the Shock Absorber Multiway

A feature laden sports bra, perfect for B – C cups at most activity levels or for larger cups with light to moderate exercise. Not as much support as the shock absorber classic sports bra, which has a super supportive 3 part cup design. This product is being discontinued by shock absorber, sadly, as it fills a really useful gap in the market for smaller cups. When we run out we won’t be getting any more stock so order it now if you think you need it!  Follow the link to buy this bra at Harwayes Lingerie.

Sports Bras for Small Sizes

One question I am often asked at fitting events is:

‘Do you have sports bras or crop tops in small sizes?’

Pump top padded sports braThe answer is yes! One of our best sellers is the Shock Absorber pump top padded sports bra, illustrated. Available in size 32 – 36 A, 32 – 38 B, C, D.

This style really enhances the small bust, adding shape and cleavage. Light padding gives a smooth line under sportswear. And as you would expect from shock absorber, fabrics are moisture wicking and breathable. To buy online, just go to www.harwayeslingerie.com.

Shock Absorber Crop Top for Small Cups

We also have a few of the shock absorber reversible sports bra tops available – in 32 and 38 only. This is a lightweight top with a little bit of support, will prevent nipple show through under sports tops. On sale at only £15.00 to clear. www.harwayeslingerie.com/croptop

The classic sports bra (Shock Absorber N102) is available in size 32 – 36 A and B – this is the bra I wear as you put it on like a normal bra rather than over the head crop top style – quicker and easier for changing I find!

This bra is an ‘encapsulation’ style – it does not compress the bust so gives a natural looking shape. To see this style go to www.harwayeslingerie.com/classic sports bra

Why do I need a sports bra if I have a small bust?

Even if you have a small bust we recommend wearing a sports bra when exercising. This is because there are no muscles in the breast – only ligaments, which can stretch over time resulting in sagging and breast pain. If you have a small bust, the last thing you need is sag!

Have a look at the Shock Absorber bounceometer to look at the difference wearing a sports bra, no bra or a normal bra makes in women measuring A – G cup: www.shockabsorber.co.uk.

Shock Absorber’s research found that even among 34As, breast movement ranged up to an average of 40mm away from the resting place of the body. Breast movement is reduced by 38% when wearing an ordinary bra but this rises to as much as 74% with a Shock Absorber sports bra.

Freya Active Sports Bra – ‘Awesome’

I gave one of my friends a Freya Active on sale or return. She runs and says she normally has to wear 2 sports bras. Well she tried this last night and said it was ‘awesome’ – perfect fit, excellent support – for the first time ever she only has to wear one bra! Full review coming shortly.

I usually wear a thong but…

At the gym this morning (first time since before Christmas, it has to be said) I was talking to the owner who is helping me promote the new Freya Active range. She commented: ‘I normally wear a thong but it’s just too uncomfortable to exercise in – I must get some of these Freya sports shorts instead!’

The Freya Active shorts are just perfect for a smooth line under lycra joggers or running tights. The ice finish coolmax fabric and signature Freya Active logo trim prevents them from resembling big pants!

Runner’s World Magazine rated these briefs very highly, observing: ‘They wicked away sweat very well and proved exceptional at keeping our runner cool. Fit was slightly on the small side but they held their shape without digging in or chafing.’
