Why do small breasts need a sports bra?
Whether your breasts are small, medium or large, during sports and activities our breast tissue is moving up and down.
Your smaller breasts surely need a sports bra to reduce the bouncing. The bra is also there to protect your nipples.
Especially when you have an AA cup it can be tough to find a fitting sports bra that provides the right support. See our AA guide for more topics on small cups »
If you’re petite you can try the cup size closest to you. And then you have sports tops in sizes like xs, s, m, l or xl. They might work, especially the racerback styles are great for smaller boobs.
Sports bras A cup
The best design for smaller boobs is a sports bra with compression.
A compression bra is designed to pressing the breasts to the chest and very suitable for A and B cups. Because we have less breast tissue encapsulation really won’t work for us.
Great brands for A cup sports bras are Maidenform, Nike, and Handful
