In the realm of athletic wear, it’s easy to get lost in the sea of options. From moisture-wicking leggings to cushioned running shoes, there’s no shortage of gear designed to enhance your workout experience. Yet, amidst the plethora of products, there’s one often-overlooked hero: the sports bra.
So you’re after a Sports Bra for cycling. Most of us when we think of cycling conjure up an image of the lycra clad folk spinning down the road in the morning traffic. Not much bounce there but you’ll still need support. Take things off road and the bounce can become truly uncomfortable. Your mountain bike has shocks so a great bra is required to help absorb the bounce.
So you are looking for a new sports bra, but where do you start? Choosing a sports bra is a minefield, there are a myriad of brands and styles out there all offering something different. Combine this with the fact that we women are all different, do different activities and have different fashion styles. OMG!
For years, women with larger busts have faced unique challenges when it comes to finding the perfect sports bra. The struggle to find adequate support, comfort, and style in athletic wear has been real. Thankfully, the game has finally changed.
So you’ve finally bitten the bullet and replaced your old, worn out Sports Bra with a shiny new one. How good does it feel? Supported once again! You don’t realise how unsupportive your old one was until you don a new one. As we all know good sports bras are not cheap. We want to look after them to get the longest possible use out of them whilst ensuring they continue to support us. Not just for our breasts but for our hip pocket. So what can we do to prolong their lifespan? Investing a little time and effort in caring for you bras will help. As will the following small but important tips and tricks for sports bra care.
If you are fuller in the bust it can be difficult to find a supportive sports bra. It’s often even harder to find one that is also comfortable and looks good too. Many of the active wear brands in high street stores focus on crop top style bras giving little regard to cupped styles for those with a bit more up top. These styles usually don’t cut it if you’re bigger than a D cup. This post examines some of the important sports bra features. Including things to consider when purchasing a bra with a larger cup size.
We all know what the front of our sports bra does; it holds our assets. Hopefully firmly in place whilst we bounce all over the place. What about the back of your sports bra? What does it do to help keep your girls in place? And what do the different sports bra back types each do? A lot surprisingly.
If you exercise you’ll appreciate all your sports bra does to keep you comfortable and supported. And if you don’t then perhaps it is not doing everything you expect it to do. What outwardly appears to be a pretty simple piece of clothing can actually be pretty complicated considering all the elements it can have to have it performing as expected.

In today’s modern world there is a huge range of varied activities available to women. From the simplicity of a morning walk to the weird and wonderful like Twerking and just about everything in between. Until relatively recently this wasn’t the case. With sport availability often restricted from women. Jogging became the new fitness craze in the 1970’s. Fantastic for women to become more active. However it left many women frustrated and in pain from bouncing breasts and chafed skin. Running in comfort just wasn’t achievable in their everyday bras. Enter the history of the sports bra.

What does this mean and what impact level do you need for your sport?
Information on sports bras and breast support is often related to activities involving lots of fast movement or jumping. However what about those lower impact activities such as walking, pilates and yoga? These are all slower moving activities that are incredible for our bodies; aiding in areas such as strength, flexibility and focus. But what about our breasts? Do we even need to consider them during these lower impact activities?
