Now... As a larger breasted lady, I need all the help I can get when it comes to keeping them in the right place. Whether that's day to day or at the gym!
My friend had seen an advert on Instagram for this and mentioned it to me, knowing I had started Personal Training sessions.
I was rather sceptical to start with as for all intents and purposes its an elasticated band with a bit of Velcro on it... how was that going to keep my bad boys at bay?!
After a month or so with my PT and doing more cardio than I have in my life, I realised that my combo of a bra and a sports crop top/bra was NOT working for me.
I've had at least two bras give up on me completely and attack my armpits with their underwire... genuinely one of the most painful things in the world, especially when you continue to do star jumps after this!
So I finally caved, and spent the £20 on the fore mentioned Velcro elasticated doo dah...
The Booband team were lovely and also sent me through a popband hair tie which is awesome. No metal and thick elastic which is great for thick hair.
They also have various deals and bundles for different coloured bands, but I didn't want to spend loads to find it didn't work for me.
I decided to go for the Large size, as like I said, I have some beasty bad boys, but have since been measured and have gone down 3/4 cup sizes... so I think I actually need a medium now!
I personally feel like this works better for me over my clothes, but that may be because of the size correction I need to make. I tried it originally over my sports top and under my baggy (hide everything because I don't want to scare anybody) t-shirt. This worked but not as well as I'd expected, so I took it off as it was annoying me. Then it came to shuttle runs, and I knew I needed to try and see if it would work... it did! WOOHOO! I shoved it on over my t-shirt and it was a dream! Don't get me wrong- I'm still running, so clearly there will be some movement... but I'm so impressed with it. It means I'm not as self conscious running and now can focus on my PT rather than concerned I'm going to knock someone out with my boobs.
Massive thank you to Booband for this simple yet effective invention of yours! I will be purchasing some more soon!
Much love,
T xx
