A campaign for getting you in a better bra...
I recently had the opportunity to try out a couple of bras from UK Lingerie. For those who haven’t used the website before, it’s an online treasure trove of beautiful lingerie. From shapewear and sleepwear to sports bras and corsets, they’ve got everything the lingerie enthusiast could dream of, at prices to suit all budgets. Even more importantly, this website is a gem for those with a fuller bust, as they carry sizes right up to a J cup. [Read more…]
A complaint I often hear from other women is the fact that large bra sizes aren’t available on the high street, or they’re really expensive. I decided to bring you my high street round-up, letting you know what’s available and where.
Buying bras can be stressful sometimes. Buying a sports bra can be even more stressful. Here are my tips for making it as easy as possible and for finding the right bra.
Allow plenty of time
If you only have 10 minutes, you probably haven’t allowed yourself enough time for sports bra shopping. If you know what you’re going to buy and it’s literally grab and pay, that’s one thing, but if you are looking for the right fit and the right bra, you need to allow time.

If you’re a woman taking part in sport, especially high impact sport, it’s really important to look after your sports bras and know when to replace them.
Hands up. Who’s been wearing the same sports bra for years? If this is you, then put it in the bin. It’s time to replace it.
The more you wear a bra and the more exercise you do, the more the elasticity in your bra stretches. This means that it won’t fit so snugly and won’t support as well. You can extend the shelf life of a bra by making sure you have at least two and alternate the wearing of them.
Hi! I’m Helen and I’m a running and fitness blogger at helsbels.org.uk.
I’m also busty and know how important it is to wear a well fitting bra, especially when exercising! Longterm followers of HelsBels will know only too well how often I get on my soapbox about bras and I finally decided to create the “HelsBels Bra Guide” to help other women to find the right bra for them, be it for exercising or day to day wear.
I’ve put a lot of work into explaining the best fit and how to measure, and hope to bring you further tips and advice on where to find the best bra, along with the odd review.
Get in touch, say hi, let me know what you think and share your tips!
Enjoy.
