Plus Size Sports Bras

Any physically active woman will benefit from a sports bra. It’s not enough to just have one, as there are different styles that suit varying physical activities.

Compression bras secure the breasts and sides for low-to-medium impact activities. Encapsulation sports bras come with lightly or heavily padded cups that support the breasts during high-impact activity. Pullover bras offer light breast support for low-impact exercises, while back-clasp sports bras resemble traditional bras in appearance but offer more breast support.

When choosing a plus-size sports bra for women, it’s important to pick the style that best suits your intended activity. If you’re planning on running, dancing, or playing tennis, then you should go for high-impact styles. When it comes to walking, hiking, or running, you’re best off with a medium-impact sports bra. For activities such as stretching, pilates, and yoga, a low-impact sports bra is a good choice.

Supportive plus-size sports bras differ from most traditional bras as they are manufactured with durable materials. Many are made of elastic spandex, which is often combined with supportive and moisture-wicking fabrics such as nylon and polyester. Some plus-size sports bras for women are made of polyamide, which is stretch-resistant and tear-proof.

While such garments are primarily made with support in mind, many high impact plus-size sports bras come in unique designs and colors. Gone are the days when you have to settle with boring, aged styles whenever you work out.

It can be a little challenging for plus-size women to find the perfect sports bra. But here at HerRoom, you’re sure to find one (or more, even). We carry over 200 brands, so you don’t have to get bras that don’t appeal to your needs or style.

Of course! To get full support for your large bust, choose encapsulation sports bras with molded cups and wide straps. These features help reduce discomfort while working out.

No. If any, your sports bra should fit more firmly than your regular bra in order to receive optimum support. However, it should not be so tight that it limits your breathing.

For reference, you should be able to slide two fingers underneath the shoulder straps of your high-impact plus-size sports bra.

• As mentioned, it should fit a little tighter than your regular bra.
• The band should be flush against your chest; it shouldn’t move up when you raise your arms above your head.
• The straps should be broad but adjustable.
• The fabric should be stretchable and moisture-wicking.
• If going for a wired bra, the underwire should not poke or pinch your skin.
