Sports bra for running must have cups to support each breast. Cups provide that extra support that is needed while running. It protects the breast tissues from the lower bulging. Always ensure a good sports bra fit by measuring your bust size and the fitting around your rib cage. If the cups get wrinkles when you wear them, that means the bra is of a bigger size.
Proper Bands and Panels
Before buying running bras, always make sure that the bands and panels properly fit you. The bottom bands in the bra support your breast while the sideband ensures zero gapings. If you are able to pull your sports bra from the center to half an inch, then you have found a perfect fit, otherwise, look for other options.
Soaking Wick
Always choose a sports bra for running which is made up of moisture-wicking material. While working out, the body sweats a lot and it can lead to unwanted rashes. A soaking wick material ensures that the bra remains moisture-free for longer times.
Low Impact and High Impact Bra
Buy both a low-impact bra and a high-impact bra. For yoga sessions buy a running bra that is low in impact and when you have to do weight training or you are going for a run, always choose a high impact bra. Both are very important for different situations.
