Supportive sports bras

How to choose the right sports bra
All boob sizes should have the choice of supportive and stylish sports bras. Beat the bounce and move with confidence whether you’re on a park run, playing team sports or weight-lifting in the gym. Find your perfect sports bra with Bravissimo.

1. Find your Bravissimo bra size
The first step to finding the right sports bra is finding your bra size. We offer both virtual and in-store fittings, where our expert team will fit you by eye. We can have a chat about supportive sports bra options and point you in the right direction depending on the type of exercise you’re doing.
Take a look at our bra fitting guide for more information.

2. Match the style to the sport
Next, you’ll need to choose the right sports bra for the activity you plan on doing – from high-impact sports like running or gymnastics, to lower-impact activities like yoga, walking or weight training. The type of exercise will dictate the level of support you’ll need. For example, a racerback, thick-strapped sports bra may work best for your morning run. Or you could try a compression sports bra to help minimise bounce.

3. Check for support features
Our sports bras come with a range of clever design details to help you feel secure when exercising or playing sport. The collection is designed specifically for those with bigger boobs, offering things like:
• Thicker and cushioned straps for extra lift and comfort
• Adjustable racerback designs for extra support when you need it
• Underwired cups for that familiar fit
• Compression and shock-absorbing designs to reduce bounce
• Moulded cups for an even smoother feel.

Sports bra FAQs
Still have a few questions about our supportive sports bras? Take a look below.

How should a sports bra fit?
A sports bra should feel secure, but not too tight or restrictive. The underband can feel a little tighter than a regular bra, but you still need to be able to breathe and move comfortably. If you’re looking for a little more support, try a compression sports bra to minimise bounce. For more help, take a look at our sports bra fitting guide.

How to choose a sports bra for big boobs?
When searching for a sports bra for bigger boobs, look out for thick, padded straps for support and a firm underband to help keep everything in place. Adjustable racerback styles can also provide that little bit extra when you need it. Overall, your sports bra should feel secure and comfortable.

Can you wear a sports bra as an everyday bra?
Yes, if your sports bra is comfortable and supportive, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to wear it as your everyday bra. You could try a low-impact sports bra as your everyday, rather than a high-impact or compression style – unless you prefer the extra support.

What are the different types of sports bra?
There are many different types of sports bra, but some of the most popular include:
• High-impact – made for activities like running, tennis, basketball and gymnastics.
• Low-impact – made for lighter activities like walking, yoga and weight training.
• Compression – designed to help hold your boobs to your chest to reduce bounce.
• Racerback – where straps join or clip together between your shoulder blades to stop them slipping and provide more support.

Do sports bras need to be tight?
Your sports bra should fit snugly and securely, providing the right level of support for your boobs without affecting how you move or breathe. Your perfect fit will keep your boobs in place, without causing you to feel uncomfortable or too restricted.
