Extra High Impact Non-Padded Sports Bra A-G

What has happened with sizing? Whilst I realise that different styles can impact on the look of a product, that shouldn't affect how something fits. If I am a 36B, it shouldn't matter if I'm buying a sports bra, something flimsier, or an everyday bra - all those products in a 36B should fit me. The trouble is, they don't. This necessitates trying absolutely everything on, or - if purchasing online - sometimes buying things in different sizes and then returning the items that don't fit (and that can't be good for the planet - all those delivery lorries doing the rounds). Standard sizing should be something that M&S gets right.

Far too small, couldn’t get it anywhere near me even though I read the reviews and went up a size - shame as it looked good.

Worn a few times now during high impact classes at the gym and supports well

I bought the correct size, and the fit is fine. It’s comfortable, and easy to put on. However, it has the structural integrity of mince. The zip will easily come undone during exercise. I was doing a deadlift and my chest near enough burst out when I was coming up. Think: Clark Kent changing in a phone box. It was to the horror of myself and amusement of the ten men in the room with me. It needs a hook at the top to secure it together, otherwise you risk violating UK decency laws every time you raise your shoulders.

I have the grey cammo version and although quite tight to zip up it did fasten and functions to order. However the black version was impossible to zip up and has been returned. Annoying given it is the same style and size. May just have to order another grey one as I don’t want white. The front zip makes sense for a sports bra as it should be easier to get on and off but certainly not based on this experience!

Comfortable, useful colour, good fit, easy to put on and take off. I found it true to size unlike some sports bras. Well done m and s!

True to size and does what it says. It is very comfortable .

I discovered by trial and error in store that I needed a size up from my usual bra size in both diameter and cup size, and of course the size was not available in store (Pantheon) so had to be ordered. This is my first experience with a sports bra - I find it a bit fiddly to get on and the front fastening zip can be a bit tricky but I will persevere!

Finally found the one! I am a runner and use size 34E and this bra holds everything fully in place. Love the front zips as everyone knows finding a tight fitting bra that is easy to get into is a challenge. This one is perfect even after 6 months of machine washing and tumble drying.

Being a sports bra, it comes up a bit small, but necessarily so, so that you get good firm support. Given that it is a close fit, the zip up front once you have done it a couple of times, I find is easier for me to do up than a hook and eye at the back. After trying on the white version in store, I ordered the black version in preference to the white. I would recommend you try on in store before purchasing given an acceptable firm fit for one, might be an uncomfortable fit for someone else.
