Lingerie brand Panache has designed a fab sports bra, specifically for women with bigger boobs. The new sports bra from Panache Sport has received extensive media exposure this week with features in The Sun, Daily Express and Health & Fitness Magazine.
Panache Sports bra for D-H cups women
Panache Sport say the new Ultimate Sports Bra reduces bounce by up to 83 per cent for D to H cups thanks to sag-fighting technology that includes wide, padded straps to disperse pressure on the shoulders and underwires wrapped in silicone and sewn into the fabric for comfort.
Unlike some sports bras, it doesn’t squash your boobs against your chest so girls can workout confident in their curvy silhouette – rather than sporting a bulging “monoboob”.
The sports bra is now in stock at LessBounce in black and white in sizes 28DD-H; 30-38D-H; 40D-GG, priced £35 but apparently worth every penny – of course we’d love to hear your feedback – this is a democratic and open blog! You’ll have to wait for the grey, and limited edition purple bras though – these are are avaialble on pre-order from the sports bra soecialist and due in stock early November.
Clothing retailer BHS is offering £5 Womenswear when you spend £30 or more using our special voucher code below.

Voting for Curvy Kate’s Star in a Bra final is coming to an end on April 4th so keep spreading the word and get your votes in soon. Today we are interviewing the lovely Paris O’Connell who is studying law in Sheffield – so we’re expecting 20,000 student votes!
Why did you enter Star in a Bra?
I entered Star in a Bra because i’m trying this new thing where I take every opportunity thats handed to me. Life is too short after all!
Is it hard finding attractive and supportive bras in a 36FF?
So hard! I often find ones I love and then they don’t fit, and then ones that do fit cost a small fortune. Bra shopping is such a chore! Small breasted women have it so easy!
What is your favourite bra?
Freya is a god send! Panache are also brilliant, and of course Curvy Kate!
Why should you win?
I think I should win Star in a Bra 2011 because I want to be the one who is able to show women everywhere that they should love their bodies no matter what shape they are. As someone who was very self conscious about the size of my chest for a very long time I think I could be a good role model to women who also need to get over this!
You have some professional looking headshots, have you done some modelling before?
Most of my professional shots are taken by my Dad, who runs his own photography business so they are used to promote his website and the packages he offers. I have been on a couple of other photoshoots, building portfolio pictures as modelling is something i’m very interested in getting into. But other than that and a few wedding shows helping out some friends, nothing like this!
If you’d like to vote for Paris and a nice pair (terrible pun but you need to vote for 3 in total) then go to www.starinabra.com. Be sure to spread the word with all your friends on your blogs, Twitter, Facebook so Paris can get more votes! You could even speak to people… as old fashioned as it sounds as long as they get online and vote.
Our next Star in a Bra top 30 finalist is Hannah Rowe. Hannah is a lovely, unassuming lady who is currently busy studying an University but though “what the heck – I’ll give it a go”. As with our other starlets, Hannah has had some real trouble through the years finding good bras to look after her assets and supports brands that are recognising that women come in all shapes and sizes!
What made you want to take part?
I took part in the competition because I thought I’d have nothing to lose – I didn’t expect to get through and it wasn’t a big deal if a few people saw some photos of me in my underwear. Now everyone’s seen them! It still makes me laugh – but it feels amazing to be one of the last 30 girls, I’m in shock!
Tell me about your bra shopping experiences
I found buying bras difficult when I was a bit younger, I really had no knowledge about how a bra should fit. I was wearing completely the wrong size, and it made me self-conscious – I always slumped and folded my arms to cover my boobs because I was embarassed. This all changed drastically when I finally had a proper fitting, and discovered Curvy Kate and other brands. I was hooked! Now I find there’s too much choice, even for my slightly unconventional bra size. (28J)
Thankfully brands like Curvy Kate are finally taking note – our search finds 35 bras and fitted swimwear for the bra size 28J, but this hasn’t always been the case.
What bras would you recommend to other slim, big boobed girls?
My favourite bra is the Alana by Bravissimo . I’m a bit biased as I was a trial-wearer for this style when they were developing it, so it almost feels like it was made for my boobs! It’s a balconette bra which gives a nice rounded uplifted shape, and it’s particularly good for people with bigger boobs (I just found out it’s one of the first bras to go up to an L cup, which is great news for the really curvy ladies out there.) Saying this, it’s not the sexiest bra in the world – I have to love my Curvy Kate Tease Me set, I was amazed to find a moulded bra which goes up to a J-cup. I really love Cleo bras too, by Panache – another brand which go from a 28-38 back, and normally a D-J cup, and they always come in really pretty colours.
Why should you win Star in a Bra 2011?
I think I should win because I’ve always been passionate about boobs. It sounds silly, but it’s true – as soon as I had my first proper bra fitting and realised I could buy underwear which looked good and made me feel confident, I made it my mission to spread the word. I then worked as a fitting Consultant for Bravissimo for 3 years before I decided to come to university, and I still haven’t got tired of the subject of bras – conversation regularly often drifts towards lingerie when I’m in the room, my friends are accustomed to it now! I’ve always wanted to prove that curves are fantastic, and it feels like this competition gives me the chance to show shapely women how to be be proud of their assets.
Thanks to Hannah for sharing her experiences, I hope they will be helpful to other slim and big boobed women with similar experiences. If you’d like to vote for Hannah then please click through to www.starinabra.com and vote for her and your two other favourites as soon as you can – it’s Sunday after all and she needs your votes!

In a whoosh of big bra PR this week Debenhams says it is rapidly selling out of what they claim is the largest bra available in – the 20-inch-wide KK cup. The Telegraph website reported that Bravissimo and Debenhams have begun stocking the KK cup because some women found the K cup was still not large enough for their breasts, The Sun reported.
