Sports Bras for Big Boobs That Don’t Pinch, Squeeze, or Chafe

Best Sports Bras for Every Activity and Body Type

This sports bra fits my 34E chest like a glove and provides enough compression for most low-to-medium-impact exercises, such as squats, deadlifts, and brisk walks. On the other hand, one of our testers with a 34D chest needs less support and can wear it for runs, CrossFit, and recreational volleyball.

Athleta Transcend Square Neck Crop Bra

  • Size: 2 to 14
  • Material: Polyester, elastane, nylon
  • Band closure: Hook-and-eye

I loved this Athleta bra as soon as I put it on; it’s soft, lightly compressive, and has enough surface area to cover my chest. The best part is that I feel comfortable wearing it without a tank top or T-shirt over it, unlike many other sports bras I’ve tried.

Pros

  • Very soft
  • Stretchy
  • Can be worn as a top

Cons

  • Straps and band aren’t adjustable

Lululemon Run Times Bra

  • Size: XS to XL
  • Material: Nylon, elastane
  • Band closure: N/A

This Lululemon bra was specifically designed for running and high-impact activities. It has thick, adjustable straps that hold my E-cup boobs up and an adjustable, Velcro band that I can tighten around my rib cage.

Pros

  • Adjustable band and straps
  • Cushioned shoulder straps
  • Wide range of sizes

Cons

  • Not comfortable for long periods of time, according to our tester

OFFLINE By Aerie Real Me Low Key Longline Sports Bra

  • Size: XS to 6XL
  • Material: Nylon, spandex, polyester
  • Band closure: N/A

This sports bra is designed for low-impact activities and features a deeper, V-shaped neckline and scoop back for breathability.

Pros

  • Comfy enough to lounge in
  • Very soft and stretchy
  • Can be worn as a top

Cons

  • Neckline might be too low for some

Conclusion

Consider your activity level, body type, and personal preferences when choosing a sports bra. Whether you’re a light walker or a high-impact athlete, there’s a sports bra out there for you.
