COMFORT OR BUST
Sports bras are looking more like regular bras, complete with hooks, cup sizes, and even underwire. Sounds like a step backward, right? We thought so, too, until we tried out two of those new styles.
Surprisingly, even reluctant testers found them comfy. The underwire didn’t jab on ei-ther one, but provided good support. The padded, adjustable straps didn’t dig into shoulders. Favorite feature: back hooks–no more looking like Houdini trying to get out of a straitjacket.
One tester found these bras so comfortable that it “felt like not having a bra on at all.” Two others liked them more than their everyday bras and wore them to the office.
These sports bras with cups–referred to as encapsulation-type sports bras– offer more support and better fit for larger breasted women than the more traditional Ace-bandage-type sports bras. Some styles even offer cup sizes up to DD.
