First, it is important to understand the importance of choosing the right size sports bra for your comfort and performance. The first step in determining the correct size is to measure your band size by wrapping a tape measure snugly around your ribcage just under your bust. Then, you will want to measure around the fullest part of your bust to determine cup size. Once you have these measurements, refer to our sizing chart which takes into account both band and cup sizes in order to find the perfect fit.
Next, it’s essential to consider the level of impact that you anticipate during physical activity as different sports bras are designed for different levels of support. For high-impact activities such as running or intense aerobics, a sports bra with encapsulated cups and adjustable straps will provide maximum support and stability. Alternatively, for low-impact activities like yoga or walking, a compression style sports bra may be sufficient.
I recommend trying on several sizes and styles in order to find the perfect fit for you. It is important that your sports bra feels snug but not constricting and provides ample support without causing discomfort or chafing during movement.
A common misconception when choosing a sports bra is that a smaller size will offer more support. In reality, wearing an incorrectly sized sports bra can lead to discomfort, restricted breathing, chafing and even injury due to lack of proper support.
A less-known fact about choosing a sports bra is that certain fabrics offer more breathability and moisture-wicking properties than others. Knowing this can be useful because it can help prevent chafing and discomfort during prolonged physical activity.
The next step would be to ask our staff for assistance in finding the right style and fit for you based on your specific needs and measurements.
I hope this information has been helpful. Remember – finding the right sport’s bra isn’t just about comfort; it’s about feeling confident while staying active!
