Women’s Sports Bras

How A Sports Bra Should Fit

Any sports bra should fit you comfortably and securely without digging, slipping, or spilling; it should also provide enough support and compression for your breasts, depending on the level of impact of your activity. 

A bra's bottom band should fit firmly on the rib cage for proper support. The band should not ride up or down or feel too tight or loose. A general guideline is that: you should be able to fit two fingers under the band.

Always ensure that the straps are tight yet comfortable, ensuring minimal stretch and up-and-down movement. A racerback or a cross-back style can be your best option to achieve more stability.

The cups should fully enclose your breasts without cutting into them or leaving any space; they should not cause any gaps, wrinkles, or spillage. The cups should also offer enough compression and encapsulation for your breast size and activity level. Compression bras press your breasts against your chest wall, while encapsulation bras separate and support each breast individually. The perfect combination of both is needed for high-impact activities.

How To Measure Yourself for A Well-Fitted Sports Bra

You will need a measuring tape and a mirror to measure yourself for a well-fitted sports bra. Our online fitting Room Quiz will come in handy for this step.

First, measure your band size by wrapping the measuring tape around your ribs below your breasts. Ensure the tape is parallel to the floor and not too tight or loose. Round up to the nearest even number.

Second, measure your bust size by wrapping the measuring tape around the fullest part of your breasts, usually at the nipple level. Ensure the tape is not too tight or loose.

Third, calculate your cup size by subtracting your band size from your bust size. The difference in inches corresponds to your cup size. For example, you are an A cup if the difference is one inch.
