Best Activewear For Support And Comfort

Best Activewear for Support and Comfort

When it comes to exercise, support and comfort are key. Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t look good at the same time! There are lots of high-quality brands catering for women of all sizes that have really got to grips with creating great looking activewear.

Our specialists have put together some advice to help you choose the best activewear for support and comfort.

What to look out for when choosing activewear for maximum support and comfort:

Sports bras with padded straps provide added comfort, support and help take the weight off the shoulders.
T-back or cross back straps also help to support the back and stop strap slippage which can be annoying during exercise.
Look out for flat seams on sports bras, briefs, and leggings. They help to make the underwear and clothing comfortable, minimising any chances of chaffing.
Some sports bras are non-wired with soft cups, but manufacturers are now making more underwired sports bras. Make sure to choose bras where the underwire is flattering or invisible to avoid wires digging in as you move around during exercise.
Highly breathable, lightweight, soft fabric are recommended for comfort and to aid movement.
Look out for fabrics that help take the moisture away and keep you fresh.

We’ve pulled together our top picks of the most comfortable, supportive and stylish sports bras:

Initiale Underwired Spacer Sports Bra - Product Code 07200

The Initiale spacer sports bra is a full cup underwired bra made from a highly breathable, lightweight spacer fabric to provide a high level of support and reduce bounce whilst exercising. This bra scores highly for comfort thanks to the innovative technology which means the underwire is invisible and feels barely there, as well as fully adjustable multi positional straps with a cross back option.

One of our customers said, "This sports bra is amazingly comfortable with such an original design that allows movement with firm control. There is good depth to the side panel which I wish ordinary bras had." Available in cup sizes C to H this sports bra is perfect for running and gym exercise. You can team up the Initiale bra with the sport shorts to complete the look!

Elomi Energise Sports Bra - Product Code EL8041

A best selling sports bra here at AmpleBosom.com. We love it and so do our customers. The Elomi Energise sports bra is really popular with our customers with some claiming it’s the most supportive and comfortable bra they’ve ever worn! The superb comfort is thanks to the unique non-compression cup design which creates great shape and bust separation giving good coverage and support over the chest.

It also features a clever detachable ‘J’ hook which enables you have the choice of straight straps or a racer back. The under wiring helps to keep everything secure during even the most physically demanding exercise whilst still making you look fabulous! Available in sizes D – K in a choice of colours.

One of our customers said, "My absolute, go to bra. Not much moves wearing one of these. This is the only bra I will wear for doing a highly physical job."

Ulla Kate Sports Bras

The Ulla Kate sports bras are very popular, not only as sports bras, but as everyday bras too due to the level of comfort and support they give. This is our best selling sport collection for the fuller bust. The comfort and support is provided by the wide comfort straps and shaping side support panel. Kate offers us a choice of a wired sports bra (6024) and a soft-cup sports bra (6028) and we love both.

Kate Underwired Sports Bra - Product Code 6024

Available in white or black in cup sizes D to L and up to back size 56. One of our customers said, "I so love this bra. It is comfier than any other bra I’ve ever worn. I love the wide shoulder straps and the plain design that doesn’t show through clothing. I feel supported and I look great. I’ve also found that I don’t need to wash this bra as often as my previous ones, as it holds its shape better and doesn’t seem to get dirty/sweaty as fast. Prior to buying the Kate, I never wore a bra at home because I just hated how they made me feel. Now I sometimes don’t even realize that I’ve been wearing a bra all day! Can’t recommend it highly enough."

Kate Soft Cup Sports Bra - Product Code 6028

Available in black or white in cup sizes D to N and up to back size 56.

One of our customer's said, "Thanks so much Sally for guiding me towards trying the Kate Soft Cup Sports bra in size 38N after 50 years of searching for a bra that properly fits without causing neck and shoulder pain and frequent headaches. I would never have thought of trying a sports bra but for your insight into how this cleverly designed non-wired bra by Ulla Dessous with wide padded straps and a deep back could deal with my physiological problems. So grateful to have access to such a fount of advice at AmpleBosom."

Both Kate sports bras have wide comfort straps, side support and slimming seams which help to provide the utmost fit, support and comfort. The wide padded straps give extra comfort and help to reduce shoulder pain. Side support panels add shaping and control. Tulle on the upper cups moulds to your body extra for comfort.
