They can even help reduce bounce because they're just generally more compressive than a regular bra.Īfter this explanation, the undergarment that probably comes to mind is a sports bra.

For example, if you've had the experience of wearing a button-down that fits perfectly, save for the puckering at the closures (annoying, right?!), a minimizer bra will help save the day. This kind of bra can do everything from reduce the prominence of your breasts-even taking off an inch from your bustline!-to smoothing out any lumps or bumps in a T-shirt, sweater, or really any top you put on. But if you haven't tried one before, lemme explain.

We evaluate several bras each month and update our list to provide you with the best recommendations for runners of all shapes, sizes, and experience levels. All of these bras have been tested by RW staff and a small group of local runners. Compression garments, such as compression bras, compression vests, compression tops and compression camisoles, provide pressure that promotes lymph flow and lymph relief from areas of your breasts and chest that are vulnerable to accumulation of lymph fluid. To guide you in your search for the best support, we did the legwork-literally. But they’re not if you adjust them properly. Sometimes, they also offer light compression. We get it-all the extra doodads on high-impact bras look overwhelming, complicated, or just downright uncomfortable. Surgical bras work by supporting your breasts while allowing your tissues to recover. The same goes for your adjustable shoulder straps. Many designs will feature hook-and-eye back clasps, similar to your everyday bra, that let you set the bottom bust band to the right tightness. Generally, more compression will mean more support, so the bra will rely less on the other features like underwire or molded cups-but you’ll have to decide for yourself at what point “jiggle-free” starts to feel more like “constricting.” Encapsulation-a defined cup structure-is another feature in bra tech that keeps bouncing in check.

Some runners opt for tight, locked-in, and bounce-free, while others balk at feeling too compressed. The easiest thing a bra can do for support is offer you a little squeeze. Molded-cup bras are also great for helping prevent the dreaded “uni-boob” appearance by providing a separated section for each breast. While they typically don’t always match up to wires for support, molded cups do offer more flexibility and often come with removable modesty pads. Runners seeking an underwire alternative should turn to a sports bra with a molded-cup design. The only drawback is that some runners find underwire styles don’t move with the body as well as wireless versions.

You’ll typically find them in very high-impact bras designed for cup sizes DD and larger for superior bounce-banishing.

Just like your everyday, nonathletic bra, some sports bras feature wired cups for support.
