There's nothing worse than wearing a sports bra that doesn't actually provide you with adequate support. And, the big-boobed amongst us will know that finding a sports bra that's good enough to last more than two minutes into a workout is rare. I've bought size XXL sports bras from gymwear brands in the past that have left me with less modesty than if I hadn't bothered to wear one at all. But with Primark's gym wear going viral on TikTok, with people saying they're "obsessed" with the items, I knew that I had to try their sports bras for myself to see if they could last a sweaty half an hour HIIT without budging. The ones I tried were the Two-Pack Seamless Racerback Sports Bras , costing £10 for the pair. £5 each is a real bargain, but because they were so cheap, I must admit I was a little apprehensive about how good they'd be. On Primark's website, it reads: "Offering medium support thanks to the built-in panels and firm sports fabrics, these racerback style sports bras utilise adjustable straps and a firm underband to help you feel secure whether you're running, jumping, or lifting your way to a lifestyle you love, all while looking sleek and chic thanks to the scooping neckline and flattering fit. "Perfect for pairing with your favourite leggings, joggers, shorts, or layering under your gym top, these stylish sports bras make getting dressed for the gym a joy — that motivates us!" The sports bras are padded and non-wired, and I'd say when it comes to choosing a size between XS and XXL, it's best to opt for the size you'd normally wear. I opted for an XL. I really liked the way the bras held me. They kept my boobs secure without shifting them to under my chin or being too restrictive, and on the first try, I feel like they look really sleek, too. Of course, you'd likely wear a top over them, but if you were working out from home, who cares? As I mentioned, in the past, I've struggled to find decent sports bras. And when I have decided to treat myself to one, I've been left bitterly disappointed. But, I guess that's what you should expect to a certain level when your boobs are F cup and above, as many brands don't cater. However, Primark has really surprised me with how great the bras are! I went for a Lady Gaga-themed HIIT workout, which involved a lot of jumping, squatting, and lunging for almost half an hour. And thankfully, my boobs didn't pop out or fall out of place the whole time. As any fuller-busted person will tell you, this is genuinely a game-changer. I'm so used to thinking a sports bra fits, only for it to come crashing down when I do some courtesy squats. I'd wholeheartedly recommend these sports bras. Not only are they comfy, but they hold your boobs in nicely without feeling suffocating, which is a win. And let's be real...for £5 each, it's worth a punt.
