Sports Bras: Do you know which one is perfect for you?
Sometimes practicing or doing sports feels like a huge effort, and it's true that on some occasions it's due to the laziness that takes over us, because we are human! And there are times when we feel like exercising more, and others when we feel like it less. But it's also true that, on many occasions, doing sports feels like a huge effort simply because we have a large bust size, especially due to the discomfort involved in practicing it when we don't feel comfortable. Either because the weight of our breasts causes back pain, or because when we move a lot, our breasts bounce around and it hurts and bothers us.
This is precisely why choosing the right sports bra is so important.
So, how should we choose a good sports bra?
Depending on the sport we practice, we will need one type of sports bra or another.
Also, depending on the bra size we wear, we will also need one type of sports bra or another.
Do you know which sports bra is perfect for you? Let's find out in this article :)
Sports bra depending on your bust size
If you have a small bust size (size 80B / 85B / 90B / 95B), sports bras in a top style, or low-impact sports bras, will always be perfect for you. They will support your bust enough to keep you comfortable and you will feel supported.
Important: Keep in mind that sometimes, even if we have a small bust size, if the sport we practice is high-impact and we also know that we have sensitive breasts (it can happen to have a 90B and feel your breasts a lot during jumps or strong impacts), it will still be advisable to choose a high-impact bra.
If you have a larger bust size, from a 100B/C/D upwards, then you should choose your bra depending on the type of sport you are going to practice. Because walking is not the same as boxing, right?

Sports Bra depending on the sport you practice
We'll agree that going for a walk or hiking isn't the same as doing a sport like CrossFit, right? This is why it's so important to choose the right sports bra for us and our lifestyle.
Sometimes, we insist that for a sports bra to be perfect, it has to be very tight, very supportive, and make us feel like we can't even breathe! And nothing could be further from the truth. There are sports where the main feature we should look for in a sports bra is high and maximum support, but other sports where we simply need to feel well-supported and comfortable.
Let's make a short list of the most common sports and what type of bra is suitable for each of them.
Low-impact sports bras
Low-impact sports bras will be ideal for sports like walking, hiking, yoga, or Pilates. These types of sports bras usually don't have underwires and are often in a top style.
Medium-impact sports bras
Medium-impact sports bras are perfect if you usually do a lot of gym machine workouts or fitness classes like Body Pump, where you are in motion but without making abrupt movements. These types of bras usually don't have underwires and can be top-style or with cups. Often, they will have a criss-cross back to achieve that extra support.
High-impact sports bras
High-impact sports bras are ideal when we practice sports such as boxing, CrossFit, Zumba or dance, circuits, padel tennis, tennis... that is, sports that require constant movement and very abrupt movements in certain situations. These types of sports bras often have underwires (although this doesn't necessarily mean they offer better support), or reinforcements in the lower part of the cups instead of underwires, criss-cross backs, adjustable straps for greater adaptability to the body, etc.
