Pick the right sport bra for your workout
Support needs vary by activity—walking and yoga need light-to-medium support, while running or HIIT need medium-to-high. In our Sporty Bras collection you’ll find breathable, high-elastic styles with shock absorption and soft linings so you can focus on training, not adjusting.
Support levels and features
- Low/Medium support: For yoga, Pilates, walking. Look for soft bands, light compression, and stretchy straps.
- Medium/High support: For running, HIIT. Choose firmer bands, wider straps, and stabilized cups.
- Bands: Should be snug but comfortable—most support comes from the band.
- Straps: Racerback or wide straps reduce bounce; adjustability helps dial fit.
- Fabric: Moisture-wicking, quick-dry, and breathable mesh panels to reduce hotspots.
Fit checklist
- Band level and snug; not riding up.
- Cups smooth—no gaping or spillage.
- Straps comfortable; not bearing all the weight.
- Move test: jump/raise arms—minimal movement, no shifting.
Comfort extras
Seamless or flat seams to prevent chafe, soft-touch linings for a “nude feel,” and removable pads if you want flexible coverage. High elasticity helps with on/off and keeps the bra comfortable through deep breaths and stretches.
Care and longevity
Wash after sweaty sessions—hand wash or gentle cycle in a lingerie bag; air dry to preserve elasticity. Rotate bras to extend life; replace when the band stretches or support drops.
FAQs
- Can one bra do all activities? Medium-support can span many workouts, but runners usually need higher support.
- How tight is right? Snug band with comfortable breathing; straps secure but not digging.
- Do pads help? Removable pads add shape; remove if you prefer less bulk.
