Sports Bras

A compression sports bra is one that presses your breasts securely into your chest. This style prevents breasts from moving from side to side during medium impact activity, and keeps bounce to a minimum. These bras are a good option for women with smaller cup sizes, but if you have a larger chest, a compression sports bra might not provide as much support as you need.

An encapsulation sports bra comfortably separates the breasts into two individual cups. This type of sports bra is a great pick for women with larger cup sizes as it will provide much-needed separation of the bust to prevent uniboob and chafing. This style is great for high impact workouts.

There are also sports bras designed to provide both compression and encapsulation of the bust. These styles are a great choice for women with large chests who need the most support they can get. These are the best sports bras for high impact workouts, as they keep your breasts both secure to your chest and comfortably separated.

There are other features to look out for when shopping for sports bras. A good sports bra will feature moisture-wicking fabrics, adjustable straps, and offer either underwire or wireless support. Glamorise carries a large selection of sports bras in sizes up to 50J. Our best-selling sports bras collection includes full coverage, adjustable support, medium support, and high support styles.

For lower to medium impact workouts, a Glamorise wireless sports bra is a great option. These sports bras provide comfortable, full coverage support without an underwire. For high intensity workouts, choose one of our underwire sports bras. An underwire adds extra support for a bounce-free fit.

At Glamorise, we believe your bra should work seamlessly with your lifestyle and move with you. Whether you are an avid runner, lift in the gym occasionally, walk in your neighborhood, or simply opt for an active bra style for everyday wear, you deserve the right sports bra fit.

Sports Bra FAQs

How Do I Choose a Beginner Level Plus Size Sports Bra for Running?

Finding a beginner level plus-size sports bra shouldn't be hard. Simply look for a sports bra that is size-inclusive and is available in band sizes and cup sizes. Avoid any sports bras that are sized in standard small/medium/large etc. As a beginner, you can also opt for a low impact sports bra or an adjustable bra that lets you customize the compression you need for your workouts. No sports bra is one-size-fits-all, so it's important to try on several sports bra styles to find the most supportive sports bra for you.

What Makes a Running Sports Bra Supportive for Different Body Types?

The best plus-size sports bras for runners are those that offer both encapsulation and compression of the bust. This means that the sports bra is designed to both separate and secure the bust to your chest wall, limiting movement during high-impact activities like running and providing maximum support. Also look for a sports bra that has wide, adjustable shoulder straps. Wide straps will help to distribute weight evenly across your back without digging in. A high impact sports bra is crucial if you are an active person or opt for higher-impact activities like running. Finding the perfect sports bra can be a daunting task, but start your search for a great sports bra with high-quality brands that are size-inclusive.
