How to Find the Best Sports Bra for Women with Big Busts
The best sports bras for women with big busts provide both support and comfort. Sounds easy huh? I started this shop as I was sick of wearing two sports bra to prevent bounce however, they sure weren't comfortable. So here are some tips to finding a comfortable & supportive sports bra if you have big boobs!
Some key features to look for include:
1. Encapsulation: this means each breast is supported separately, rather than compressing them together. This can help prevent discomfort and pain during high-impact activities. Look for a sports bra like the Freya High Octane which provides both shape and support using moulded cups and underwire:
2. Wide straps and band: look for bras with straps that are wider than average and a band that sits snugly around the ribcage. This will help distribute the weight of your breasts more evenly. The Royce Aerocool sports bra was created for women with F-K cups:
3. Adjustable straps: can help you get the right fit, especially if your boobs fluctuate each month...you know what I'm talking about ladies! The Simone Underwire High Support bra is a very popular style with equestrians and women who do high impact activity. Simone has an outside underwire frame to keep breast movement to a minimum and provide a great shape:
4. High-impact support: if it feels like no sports bras are working then meet the Enell High Impact SPORT. Specifically built for big busts and often called the "last reosrt bra" Enell uses more compression style to stop those breasts from moving, she's front fastening (great if you have a shoulder injury or Arthritis in the hands) and plenty of back support:
5. Wirefree and moisture wicking high-quality materials: look for bras made from moisture-wicking, breathable materials that will keep you dry and cool. Yes you pay more than buying a sports bra from Temu, but treat them well (NEVER put your bra in the dryer) and your bra will do the same. The High Impact Active D+ Moisture-Wicking Wirefree Sports Bra by Parfait is a firm (yes I do enjoy a good pun!) favourite. Made from moisture-wicking, cooling and anti-bacterial fabric, and the back hook-and-eye closure is padded with soft foam which is handy if you do a lot of floor work:
However, It's important to note that the best sports bra for you will depend on your individual needs, so it's a good idea to try a few different styles and brands. Fill out our Online Fitting Form and I'll get back to you with some recommendations.
