Shock Absorber


Any female swim enthusiast will know that when it comes to choosing performance and leisure swimwear you have to be careful with what you buy. All women are different and we don't just fit into one size. Sure, your top half may be closer to a size 14, but your bottom could be nearer to a 12. So, what size do you go for?

Well... finding the perfect sized swimsuit is the least of your worries. For the bigger breasted women out there, you'll know that wearing a swimming costume without adequate support just won't cut it in the pool. Not only will an unsupported swimsuit be uncomfortable, but you could find that the lack of support actually hinders your performance in the pool.

Thankfully, there is now a range of women's swimwear that has been specially deigned with support in mind... Shock Absorber.

Shock Absorber

About Shock Absorber

The Shock Absorber gang realised that there was something serious missing from the world of womens sports... support. It seems that most modern sports brands have chosen to ignore that fact that sportswomen have breasts. For too long women have been wearing ill-fitting sporting gear that just isn't suitable. Shock Absorber saw this problem, and have since set their mind against fixing it.

Rather than creating womens sports wear with a one size fits all approach, the Shock Absorber team created a range of sporting bras, sport wear and swim suits that are comfortable and supportive for women, no matter their bust size or measurements.

After a ton of research the company found that exercising without the proper support caused premature sagging. They found that those who wore Shock Absorber bras reduced the amount of breast movement by up 74%, which can drastically reduce the likelihood of future sagging.
The company is currently the best selling sports bra manufacturer. But, this success hasn't stopped the company from taking their research and cutting edge designs further. The brand are constantly looking at ways in which they can improve their bras and sports wear to help women stay supported whilst they exercise.




Shock Absorber bra technologies...

Shock Absorber gear has been specially designed to take more than your bust size into consideration. The unique fabrics can offer a wide variety of support levels that will help to match your individual bust size. But it's not just your front that they're are worried about, the bras have also been designed to perfectly fit your back. Sure, your front is important, but getting the back right makes all the difference. Making your bra extra comfortable with additional much needed support.

As well as getting the shape right for their Shock Absorber womens swimwear and sports wear, the Shock Absorber team have also ensured that you get the right amount of support for your chosen sport. Some high energy sports often require more support than others, and Shock Absorber have made sure that your bra suits your chosen activity.

As well as getting the support level right, the brand have also ensured that their gear is super comfortable to wear. Many of the bra and inner support systems have padded straps to help relieve shoulder stress, as well as fully adjustable straps to make sure that you're able to achieve the perfect fit for your frame. Don't worry, just because you'll be getting plenty of support, you won't be stuck wearing unbreathable materials. All of the Shock Absorber clothing is made from lightweight highly breathable fabrics that will let your skin breath easily, whilst still allowing your plenty of freedom to move around. Again, the added support won't create an unflattering look. All Shock Absorber wear has been designed to not only make you feel great, but to make you look great too. Both the bras and the swimwear has been designed to compliment your existing shape.



When you need support in the water

When you need support in the water...

If you were to head out for a run you wouldn't slip on your high heels. Equally, you wouldn't show up at the gym in your best LBD. So, why are so many women still neglecting to properly support their breast? The trouble is most women work out in their regular bras, and head to the swimming pool in support free swimsuits. It may not seem like a problem now, but in a few year you'll soon start to realise what damage you have done to your bust.

The issue is... there are no muscles in your breasts, and they're made up of ligaments instead. Exercising without the proper support will cause the breast tissue to stretch and cause permanent sagging. If you don't wear the right kind of sports bra or a supported womens swimsuit your breasts will bounce around as much as 9cm. This kind of movement will cause serious damage and your boobs just won't bound back.
Almost 3/4 of all women do not not wear a properly supportive bra or swimsuit to exercise in. This means that these huge numbers of women are causing their breasts to permanently sag. Most women think it's only those with larger breast that need support during exercise, but they're wrong. Even the smallest A cups need adequate support, otherwise they too will end up with prematurely sagging breast for life.

Most ladies think that they only need support if they're running, but they couldn't be further from the truth. If you decide to hit the pool without the right kind of breast support you'll find that you're doing just as much damage as running without the right bra. Most swimsuits, even the performance ladies swimwear have little to no support. The tight Lycra materials may feel like they're supporting your breasts, but they're only pushing them against your chest. Your boobs will still be able to move around freely, and the movement will eventually lead to ligament damage and sagging.

The difference between Shock Absorber swim suits and other supported swimwear is that these costumes are made to fit both the front and back of a woman. Creating the perfect cup support as well as improving the back fit and support has helped to substantially cut down on the amount of breast movement.

Treading water in the pool can put the same amount of stress as your breast as a stint on the treadmill. Just because you're in the water it doesn't mean that you don't need support. The Shock Absorber team have spent many years perfecting their specialist support bras, so it was a natural progression for them to expand their range to womens swimming costumes. They simply took the existing experience and technology and added it to ladies swimwear.

They were the very first company to use this kind of technology in womens swimsuits, and they are now leading the way with their designs. Within the performance swimwear range they have one piece swim suits, ladies bikinis, as well as two piece womens tankinis for you to choose from. All of their ladies swim suits are chlorine resistant and incorporates colour fast fabrics, so you can be sure that your swimsuit will last, not matter how often you're in the water. 

The sleek outer materials help to reduce the amount of drag in the water. The suits are friction free and use flat lock stitching which also helps you to move quickly through the water. All of the consumes are made from quick drying materials, which make these ladies swimming costumes perfect for multi event competition swimming. These figure hugging suits compliment your curves perfectly, but the tight Lycra materials still allow plenty of movement, and remain highly breathable.

The swim suits go from a 30 to 38 chest measurement, and cater to cup sizes B to G. As well as the form fitting cups, the back of the swimming costume has fully adjustable straps to help you achieve the perfect supported fit in the water.
