You would have got bored if you didn't have anything to do.....

I'd suggest going to a proper bra shop, not Debenhams the folk there will measure you and fit you for a bra that fits.

Best thing I ever did was get fitted for one

Just keep looking/ look another day. A 32B is not that weird a size, maybe they'd just run out that week. I admit to not being able to find any sports bras around myself- Ethel Austins had 'Triumph' bras in their sale but they were in a size 40

Any good?
I got my size sorted out by trying a load on and then I got the one I paid for from ebay. They are a darn site cheaper and still new.

Wow, I always thought bras would be far easier to find at a smaller size. The largest size I have ever been is 42E, and I always had to order mine.

Yup.....

Mrs Hrun got hers from startfitness.co.uk if I remember right. Had to wait a while for stock to arrive but she is a 36G and shops never carry her size.

I got mine from Debenhams. Its a shock absorber one. I'm a 34E normally but find with sports bra's you need a one size bigger cup
