Why Should I Wear A Sports Bra, Anyway?

Bra sizing isn’t an exact science as depending on bra style and your time of the month your size can fluctuate. But don’t worry, we’ve got you. Many of our bras use Alpha sizing so you can group multiple band and cup sizes into one, so you’re more likely to find a bra that fits. Or we recommend trying on a few sizes either size of your regular and checking the fit using the video below.

No matter what your size or the style of your bra, always follow these simple steps to check the fit. Tick every step off the list and you can feel confident that your sports bra’s got your back (and your front).

You must ask yourself two things: What exercise am I doing + What size are my breasts?

Low impact sports (yoga, pilates, barre) create little bounce so a light support bra is best. Medium impact sports (dance, weight lifting, hiking) create more bounce, so a medium support bra will keep your chest firm. High impact sports (running, basketball, netball, football) suit a high support bra as the bounce is real.

However, size plays a major role. Women with a D+ cup, we’re talking to you here. You’ll feel much more comfortable in medium and high support bras, no matter what the activity.

High support is for anything that creates bounce; runners, you know what we’re talking about! If you’re a D cup and above then a high support bra is what you’ll feel most comfortable in, no matter what.

This bra actually helps repel sweat, making it perfect for a run or a high-intensity workout. There’s nothing worse than a wet bra holding you back. Whenever trying on a bra that fastens with a clasp, always try it on using the loosest setting so you know there’s room to tighten it if the elastic stretches.

A medium support bra is for training, cycling, hiking, weightlifting, dancing and anything that makes your chest move, without excessive bounce. Women with a D+ cup often wear medium support for yoga and pilates too, for a little extra comfort.

Light support is for activities where your breasts will barely bounce, such as yoga, pilates and stretching. They’re especially good for smaller busted women (A - D). They’re often super soft and comfortable so it feels like you’re wearing nothing at all.
