Women Sports Bras Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the right sports bra offers good support for large cup sizes (E+). If you wear a large cup size, a high-impact bra can be great for HIIT, boxing and other high-intensity workouts, but also for low-impact activities like yoga or walking. Bras made specifically for running offer higher support for all cup sizes. (They’re designed to handle the repetitive vertical and lateral movement created by running.) High-support bras made for workouts include the adidas TLRD Impact Luxe and Fast Impact Luxe.
A sports bra that’s correctly fitted is generally ok to wear all day, as long as it’s comfortable. However, you may want to change out of a bra after exercising to avoid skin irritation from dried sweat. A high-impact sports bra may become uncomfortable after long periods of time. If it’s too tight, it can chafe or irritate your skin. If it’s too loose, you won’t receive adequate support throughout the day. Be sure that each breast fits comfortably inside the bra and that the straps aren’t digging in.
The most comfortable sports bra is one that is sized correctly and offers the right amount of support for your workout. Many women who find sports bras uncomfortable are actually wearing the wrong size. That’s not just an inconvenience; many women say a bad bra experience puts them off exercise. Or they resort to hacks like wearing two bras to get the support they want. adidas makes dozens of bras to provide the right support for every move, from running, sports and HIIT to lifting, yoga and barre.
