Get The Right Fit For Your Sports Bra!

One of the most important pieces of gym clothing which you need to get right is the sports bra. When it comes to working out, having the right activewear is crucial.

However, finding the right sports bra and making sure it fits properly can be a difficult challenge. In this post, I am going to discuss how a sports bra should fit, this will help you find the one that give the right amount of support you need during your gym workouts.

The Band

The majority of support within a sports bra is supplied by the sports bra band. The band should fit snugly but not be too tight where it becomes uncomfortable during your exercise. If the band is digging into you, then its too tight, but if you can easily pull the band away from your body, it's too loose. To test this, you should be able to put two fingers comfortably between your skin and the band.

The Cups

The cups of a sports bra should supply a snug fit without you bulging out of the top or gaping. To check if the cups are the right fit, check that you are not spilling out of the cups and you are comfortably contained fully within the cups. If there is any spillage, consider going up a cup size.

Straps

The straps should not dig into your shoulders or slip off, as this can make the sports bra very uncomfortable during your workout.

Comfort

Wear a sports bra which feels comfortable and also make sure to choose one made of a breathable material. A sports bra should not chafe or rub against your skin during a workout.

Putting it All Together To ensure a sports bra fits properly, you need to take into account the band, cups, straps, and comfort. Make sure you try on several styles and sizes to find the one fits and you feel comfortable wearing. Keep in mind that a sports bra should fit snugly but not be too tight or too loose.
