YIANNA Women High Impact Sports Bra Plus Size Zip Front Fastening Bras Padded Adjustable Strap

Product Information

Next up, you’ll want to consider fit. Some of the bras on this list will require you to convert your everyday bra size into a generic small, medium or large. The best way to do this is to grab a tape measure and look at the brand size guides to ensure you’re getting the right size. A bra that is too large won’t offer the right amount of support and one that is too tight will pinch and chafe. The bra is designed to conform to your body, so it might feel tight at first, but it will mold to your shape as you continue to wash and wear it. It’s a maximum-support zip-front sports bra made for high-impact workouts, and it has a wire-free design, which we like for optimal comfort. This bra is not machine washable, so post-wear washing will require more time and effort than other options. So what should you be looking for before you buy? Sports bras are definitely not as simple as one-style-fits-all – your needs will differ massively based on your chest size and what activity you're doing.

Medium-impact bras are not quite as supportive as high-impact bras and are best suited for activities like hiking, spinning, and cross-training. Typically, you wouldn’t go for a run in a medium-impact bra, as the compression and support wouldn’t be enough to fully support the breasts.Encapsulation sports bras hold each breast in a separate cup, while compression bras secure both breasts against your chest, restricting movement. Some hybrid sports bras offer a combination of the two, like Yvette's Enfold Zip Mesh Padded Running Bra. Do sports bras contain BPA? Best if you want a stylish, flattering zip-front sports bra for low-, medium-, and high-impact workouts. When we first tried on the bra, we were pleased to find that it fit just right, with no pinching or sagging. Those with 32D–44DD breasts have seven sizes to choose from (S–2X); there are also six sizes (XXS–XL) available for those who usually wear a bra in the 30A–40C range. We love that the compressive fabric offers great support, while still keeping us cool and dry—so it's a great choice for intense, sweaty workouts. A high impact sports bra can help prevent pain and discomfort during intense exercise like running, high intensity interval training (HIIT), and various sports ( 2).

Compared to other options on our list, the shoulder straps are quite thin and dug into our skin during some activities. The bra is completely seam-free, and the smooth material feels soft against the skin, so it’s extremely comfortable, even on a really long run. No unwanted rubbing or chafing was reported on the move, with one tester saying it was so comfortable, they forgot they had it on!
