Great lingerie for sport and everyday wear

Primark Primark is one of the best bra shops in the UK if you're looking for a bargain. The store has a range of sports bras to suit all sizes and intensities of activity. Primark's sports bras come in three different impact levels: low, medium and high and cost in the region of £5. The high impact shock absorber bra is excellent for dancing, and is also a good running bra. If you have large breasts, or are engaging in lots of high intensity activity, it is advisable to wear an ordinary bra underneath your sports bra for added support. Marks and Spencer M&S is also a great place to look for sports bras in the UK. At £18.00, the M&S high impact wired sports bra is a little more expensive than the Primark versions. However, M&S is a great place to buy all sorts of clothing, especially bras, as it has a huge variety of sizes so there should be something to suit everyone. The extra high impact racer-back padded sports bras make excellent running bras, and are also priced at £18.00.
