IDK if we give bras quite enough credit for all the heavy lifting they do, literally and figuratively. There’s a whoooole lot of design, engineering, magic, whatever you want to call it, that goes into keeping your boobs looking and feeling great—and frankly, no bra type works harder than sports bras, especially if we’re talking about the best sports bras for large breasts.
There’s no one-bra-fits-all answer to this quest, either–but don’t worry, I’ve scoured through the often-overwhelming selection out there, and personally test-driven oh so many D+ cup friendly styles (you’re welcome) to find you the the best of the best. A stellar sports bra for big boobs can take many shapes: with or without underwire; front zip, pull-over, or more traditional hook-and-eye back closures; no-uniboob encapsulated cups for most intense, bounce-causing sweat sessions, or low-impact, lounge-friendly shelf bra silhouette that’s perf for yoga and stretching.
In other words, we’ve got you and your curves fully covered, whether that means a bra with wide straps and separate encapsulated cups to counteract all the inevitable jiggling and bouncing of a long run or HIIT class, or a more minimal yet properly supportive design that’s smooth, chafe-free, and stays put during downward dogs, Pilates classes, and other low-impact workouts. And that’s not all–I’ve also included posture bras to wear for more than just sweat sessions (think: long flights, back-to-back Zoom meetings, Bridgerton binges, and more) because they’re so damn comfy. Plus, you'll find crop top styles too cute to stay concealed under tanks and tees and more.
