If you’ve got a fuller bust and high impact movement usually means bounce, strap digging or doubling up bras, the Shock Absorber Max Support Sports Bra is built to lock things down without underwire.

Is the Shock Absorber Max Support Sports Bra right for me?

Quick answer: Yes, if you’ve got a fuller bust and need a firm, wirefree sports bra for high-impact movement. The Shock Absorber Max Support is best for D-H cups, running, gym training, horse riding and anyone who wants serious bounce control without underwire. It has a snug compression fit, so it feels more locked-down than soft and stretchy.

  • The Shock Absorber Max Support Bra provides extreme support and full coverage
  • The slight padding in the straps offers comfort, whilst the underband enables breathability during workouts
  • Made from moisture wicking, breathable, high performance fabrics
  • Made for D-H cups
  • Wirefree
  • Non-padded cups
  • Support Factor Rating: High
  • Branding: Collab with Champion so most of the bras have both Champion & Shock Absorber branding

"Perfect fit and very comfortable with minimal bounce - what more could a girl want?"

The bestselling Shock Absorber Active D+ Max Support Sports Bra provides a solid and secure fit for full bust women up to a H-cup.

"This sports bra has been great on my runs so far, I have a small band and large chest and this is the only one I've found that has supported me."

Why fuller-bust women choose the Shock Absorber Max Support Bra

  • It is a classic design with a rounded silhouette and wide, padded, adjustable non-slip straps.
  • The moulded cups lift and encapsulate the bust to recenter and support the breasts whilst the super soft microfiber inner panel anchors the bra to the body, reducing friction around the ribcage.
  • Wirefree
  • Bounce Control Tested For Extreme Support
  • 100 by OEKO-TEX® Certified Fabrics - tested for harmful substances and deemed safe from a human-ecological perspective.

Alisa's Fitting Tips

Here’s what to know before you order:

  1. Compression queen: This style suction-cups your boobs to your body — perfect if you’re used to double-bra-ing or love that really locked-down feel.

  2. Full coverage = full support: That high neckline helps reduce bounce up and out — so you stay secure during even the bounciest workouts.

  3. Straps that behave: Wide, comfy, and designed not to slip, thanks to the way they’re set in slightly on the back. These do not convert to racerback.

  4. Lightweight but firm: Breathable enough for all-day wear (hi, horse riders) but firm in the band, which means…

  5. Go up if you’re between sizes: The ribcage band runs a touch snug. If you’re between, say, a 14 and 16, I recommend sizing up.

  6. Strong side panels help reduce the feeling of underarm spill.

  7. If I don't have your size in the Shock Absorber, it's worth taking a look at the Active D+ by Parfait. I've written a comparison post about the differences between the Active D+ by Parfait and the Shock Absorber Max sports bras here.

Best for

  • Fuller busts in D-H cups needing firm high-impact support
  • Running, gym training, HIIT, horse riding and other bounce-heavy movement
  • Women who prefer a wirefree sports bra with a locked-down compression feel
  • Anyone who usually feels like they need to wear two bras to feel secure

Maybe not best for

  • You want a soft, relaxed everyday bra feel
  • You dislike firm compression around the ribcage
  • You want padded or moulded cups for nipple coverage (check out the Freya High-Octane sports bra for that)
  • You need a racerback-convertible sports bra (check out the Active D+ by Parfait for a Racerback option)

If you’re unsure, we’re always happy to help you find the best option.

Very comfortable and easy to

"Very comfortable and easy to put on."

— Ariana U. (5/5)

Works Well

"Shock Absorber really works. The cups give high enough coverage to prevent spilling over and jiggling at the top. Wide straps are comfortable, and the 4 hook fastening at the back provides a wide enough band to support right around the rib cage."

— Shelley C. (5/5)

Shock Absorber Does the Job Well

"This bra delivers maximum support with minimum bounce. The cup seaming prevents a mono-boob and provides full coverage. The shoulder straps are comfortable and the band is firmlysup portive without chafing, so that by the end of a work day I'm not tearing the bra off as soon as I get home. When I was skinnier and enjoyed long distance running, this is the bra I relied on to stop the bounce. Now menopause has done its worst and the girls have become a heavy G cup, this is able to still tame them enough that bounce is not a concern when keeping up with a new entrant-year 1 class 5 days a week-that's a lot of jumping, running, dancing etc. I have 3 pairs of Shock Absorbers and on less demanding days confidently use the Parfait and Royce Aerocool."

This is a great bra

"This is a great bra for running and high impact sport."

Just what I needed

"Quick service. Great product. Thank you"

Best bra for running

"The best bra ever for running. . I was hesitant about a wireless bra but this keeps you firm when running. . . would definitely recommend"

— Ali (5/5)

Shock Absorber D-H Cups Max Support Sports Bra

"This is my favourite bra! It is underwire free, so it is nice and comfy. It has a wide bottom band so it fits around my ribcage perfectly without riding up. Straps the girls down nice and firmly, but without looking squashed. I like that it has no extra padding, like some bras, which end up making you look bigger than you already are. This bra gives a flattering line/look under your clothes. So comfortable and supportive that it is my everyday bra. Excellent at the gym, and for other sports and exercise too. Highly recommend this bra!"

— Susan M. (5/5)

Great bra

"Im big busted 18F and these are a amazing support sport bra."

— Vanessa G. (5/5)

Impressed by how well my breasts are held in place

"I am massively impressed by how well my breasts are held in place with this bra. I run and I’ve never felt more secure in a bra. Would recommend it to absolutely anyone doing very intense sports!"

— Jess T. (5/5)

Wire-free and super supportive

"I've always been a fan of the Shock Absorber Ultimate Run Bra so I wanted to try this one to see how it compares. The structure and fit are the same - it's really supportive for running, jumping etc and it looks great. I don't miss the awkward extra clip at the back. What I do miss is the lining - the Run Bra is fully lined, whereas this one is not, and some of the seams are just a wee bit scratchy. (YMMV: I'm someone who gets really irritated by itchy clothing tags - for most people this is probably a non-issue!) I still really like this bra, but if I can find anyone still selling the Run Bra I will switch back when it's time to replace it."
