Women's Sports Bras

A sports bra should stay in place from start to finish of your workout, without squeezing or irritating. Depending on whether you're running, jumping, or doing strength training, the level of support varies.

Compare the models here to find the one that suits your activity and body shape.

Choosing the right level of support

The support is chosen based on the impact: low for yoga or core work, medium for strength training and cycling, strong for running, jumping, and cardio. High-impact support is also suitable for larger busts, even for gentle sessions.

Things to check before buying

Look at the band under the bust, which provides the main support, then check the width of the straps and their adjustability. Flat seams reduce friction, and a racerback or crossed back changes shoulder freedom. Try it on while lifting your arms and jumping in place.

Completing with other pieces

To match your outfit, check out the leggings, t-shirts, tank tops, or compression wear. A jacket from the jackets and sweats page will be useful between sets.

Which brands for a sports bra

You can find adidas, Craft, Hastko, Athlecia, Regatta, and Thuasne. They stand out with their cuts and uses: indoor sports, outdoor, or support designed for comfort. Open the product pages to read the features.

Caring for your sports bra to make it last

A sports bra endures sweat, stretching, and washing. Wash it after every session or nearly, at a low temperature, in a mesh bag to protect the fastenings. Avoid fabric softener, which clogs elastic fibers, and don't put it in the tumble dryer.

Alternate between two or three models if you train often: the elastic gets to rest between uses and retains its support longer. If you run several times a week, keep one bra dedicated to running, with strong support, and another for strength training.

When the straps slip even when adjusted to the shortest, or if the band under the bust rides up, the fit has lost its firmness. It's time to choose a new one.

Signs that the size isn’t right

If the fabric leaves a bulge on the back or sides, the size is too small. If the straps slip or the band rides up, it is too big. Test it by moving your arms, jumping, and bending: the bra should not dig in or move.

When you're torn between two models, choose the one you can wear without thinking about it for an hour. A comfortable bra is easily forgotten, and that's the best sign that it suits your activity.
