Keeping your breasts supported and minimizing bouncing can reduce problems such as back and breast pain.

We all know that women rarely make mistakes, but... did you know that studies suggest that between 80 and 100% of women wear the wrong bra size? It's time to fix this once and for all.

How can I find the sports bra that best suits me?

To ensure that your sports bra fits perfectly and you can avoid chafing and pain, you should know the measurements of two areas in particular.

Step 1: Measure your chest circumference:

Wrap the measuring tape around the fullest part of your breasts , nipple to nipple. Make sure not to tighten the tape too much; It should be tight, but loose enough to lie horizontal around the body.

Tip: For the most accurate measurement, make sure the tape lies flat against your back and does not fall or sag .

Step 2: Measure the lower part of your chest:

Place the tape measure firmly around your chest, letting it rest just below your bust . To ensure accurate rib measurement, the tape should be snug and lie flat against your back .

Now that you have the two main measurements, it's time to take a look at our new sports bra size chart so you can find the best bra for your breasts and ensure you get the best buy.

It is time to know the different types of adjustment , and to do this, it is essential to differentiate three parts present in all tops, the straps, the lower band and the cup adjustment .

It can take a while to find the perfect top. Keep in mind that not all sports bras are created equal; Its fit, its design, its purpose - everything will differ slightly, so don't worry if your sports bra size isn't like your usual t-shirt size!

How to ensure the best fit

1. STRAPS

20% of the support should come from the straps of your sports bra.

As a general rule, you should always be able to fit a finger under the straps of your sports bra . If you are unable to do this, we recommend that you slightly loosen the straps (if applicable). However, make sure you don't go from one extreme to the other, loose straps reduce the support offered.

2. LOWER BAND

80% of the support should come from the bottom of your sports bra; It should sit firmly around the ribs (not the breast tissue).

Raise your arms above your head: If your sports bra rides up and doesn't lie flat on your chest, it's probably too big , which could cause chafing during your workout. Try adjusting the straps slightly. If it is a strapless bra model, or if it continues to move, we suggest going down a size.

3. CUP

If you are wearing a padded sports bra, your breasts should sit comfortably within the cups.

If the cup is too small , or is not the right style for your breast shape, you will notice that your breasts protrude a little , here we recommend that you choose a larger size or try an alternative sports bra design.

If the cup is too big and you feel a little baggy, or if you have air pockets inside the bra cup, try a smaller size .
