Beyond sizing, the key to finding a sports bra that fits well is buying one with adjustable elements. “Look for styles with adjustable shoulder straps and an underband adjustment like a hook-and-eye closure. That’s how the bra is going to feel like it’s custom made for you,” says Tempesta. While this bra is durable, even after repeated washes, its maximum support means it's not comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time. But we appreciate that the straps are adjustable for a customizable fit and that it runs true to size. That’s why we've curated a selection of top-notch sports bras designed for all kinds of activities. To assist you in making an informed choice, we've rigorously tested each of these bras across a range of sessions, from intense half marathons to low-impact yoga flows. While the bra doesn't dig into our shoulders, we did notice that it felt a little tight, with some gapping in the center. We think the band runs about one size too small, so consider sizing up. And we appreciate that with plenty of ways to customize the fit, this bra is easy to adjust. For example, many brands now design based on the understanding that your boobs don't just bounce up and down when you run, jump, or twist. They actually move in a sort of figure-eight, often bumping into each other. “You don't only need support underneath your breasts for running, but around the sides and in between,” explains Joanna Griffiths, founder of the brand Knix.

There’s no hard and fast rule about how often to replace a sports bra, says Sena. You can usually tell when a sports bra is past its prime based on how it feels on your body. When the bra’s material stretches out, you’ll begin to feel less supported by it, which is a good sign it’s starting to deteriorate. You should not think about or be distracted by your sports bra while wearing it, according to Tempesta. If you are, it’s time to find a new one, she says. Meet our experts The 'Editors’ Choice' bras listed below are those that have been tested – and highly rated – by the female editors and contributors on our team. Over the years, we’ve tried and tested our fair share of running bras and, as technology has evolved, so have our expectations when it comes to comfort levels, bounce control and fabric quality.When 'high-impact' is used to describe exercise, it typically means your body is hitting something with a lot of force. For example, running or jumping can both be considered high-impact activities. During a high-impact move, you're likely jumping, twisting, or bouncing around, which means your breasts probably are, too.

Compression vs. encapsulation: You may see these terms in the product's description, so here’s what they mean: Compression bras hug against your body and are best for smaller cup sizes, while encapsulation bras separate breasts for individual support (and often look more like a regular T-shirt bra beneath clothes). Bras that offer encapsulation, or a combo of compression and encapsulation, are best for larger cup sizes to protect from movement in all directions.Our body-hugging sports bras will keep you secure so you can train with confidence. From high-support sports bras with moulded cups to light-support bras with removable padding, find the design that's right for you. Adjustable straps let you achieve that perfect fit, while elasticated material makes our sports bras easy to take on and off. And no matter which sports bra you choose, expect a comfortable feel and a smooth finish. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical found in some types of plastic.
