Get Properly Sized

Surveys have found that the most common mistake when choosing a bra is choosing one with too-small cups and a too-large band. Having the right sized bra is the first step to getting proper support: without the right measurements, the bra will be tight and loose in the wrong places, giving you support where you don’t need it and none where you do.

Compression Type

A shelf bra compression style, research finds, is better for low-intensity workouts and will serve smaller chests just fine. However, for larger chests and especially for high-intensity workouts, a bra with individual cups is the better choice. Similarly, racerback bras cinch everything in closer to the body while shoulder straps distribute weight more evenly (a boon for those with larger chests).

Try It On First

If at all possible, you should always try on bras to see if they fit your individual body before purchasing. Bra sizing tends to be complicated and each body is shaped and proportioned uniquely, so you’ll want to try it on to make sure there’s no spillage or riding up before you buy.

There’s nothing wrong with showing your torso. It doesn’t say anything bad about you if you want to cool off a bit by taking your shirt off, especially when it’s hot outside, you have every right to do so. After all, if you ever work out in a public park or run on a public trail, you’ll see dozens of men with their shirts off. And it’s not any different from you.

We’re not going to lie and say nobody will judge you. Somebody might. But that’s their problem, not yours. Your own comfort is more important than somebody else’s irrelevant opinion of you. So go ahead and take your shirt off if you want to.

The Band Doesn’t Ride Up

If the band of your sports bra tends to go up your back when you move, it’s probably too large.

You Don’t Get Red Marks

Alternatively, if your sports bra band digs into your body so much that you usually have red marks on your torso when you remove it, that’s a good sign that you need to go up a size.

Your Cups Don’t Have Too Much or Too Little Room

If your breasts are spilling out of your sports bra cups or you have lots of extra room in the cups, it’s a good sign your sports bra does not fit.

You Feel No Pain or Discomfort When Moving

Different people want different levels of support from their sports bra, so this applies to whatever activity you plan to do when you wear your bra. As long as you feel properly supported, with no pain or discomfort when moving around and working out, your sports bra fits well.

Consider the Size of Your Breasts

Not all women have the same size of breasts. This is one of the most important factors to take into consideration when choosing a sports bra. Ladies will smaller breasts should opt for compression bras. This type is also amazing for high-impact workouts. Women with larger breasts will definitely find the encapsulated designs to fit them best.

Consider the Type of Workout

Walking, running, yoga and pilates are completely different physical activities with a different level of impact. Low-impact workouts can be done in a lightweight material, without too much support, because you want to feel comfortable. If you’re doing something with a high impact, you can use all the support that a bra can offer. It has to feature a breathable material.
