1. Pick the one that fits you
Ladies, the sportswear section of your favorite store offers three types of sports bras. Compression, Encapsulation and Combination.
If you have small breasts, choose a compression sports bra If you have large breasts and/or indulge in intense workout sessions, choose an encapsulated sports bra. If you want 100% support and proper compression, choose a combination sports bra. 2.
2. Look for adjustable straps
If you prefer to wear a wrap-around bra, you're taking a big risk because the straps lose their elasticity after a few wears and there's no room to adjust the straps.
3. Bras with the right straps
The bottom straps support your breasts, while the side and back panels ensure that there is no spillage. In addition, they can help you choose the right style. You should be able to pull the bottom band of your sports bra out from the center at least half an inch. If not, look for the next size up.
4. Breathable and sweat-absorbent
Of course you will sweat when you exercise. If you don't look for a bra with the proper absorbent material, chances are you'll have some scrapes and rashes.
5. Low impact and high impact bras
If it's yoga, then you can very well wear a low-impact sports bra. If you are doing weight training and other high intensity workout sessions, then you must wear a high impact sports bra.
6. Test your bra in the fitting room
When buying a sports bra, trying and testing is always your foundation. After you put on your bra, make sure you do some jumping jacks or push-ups to make sure the bra is comfortable and has minimal spillage and maximum support.
So that's it folks! Hopefully, with this guide, you can purchase the best sports bra for yourself.
