Want comfortable sports bra deals that will support you during any type of exercise? Find your perfect fit at a fraction of the normal cost with these sports bra deals.
Not having the right amount of support from your sports bra can not only ruin your workout but also have a serious impact on your physical health. Breast tissue can be significantly strained when you're exercising without proper support, which can also lead to issues with other areas of the body like the spine and neck.
Each sport involves a unique set of movements and requires a different type of support. If you're someone who likes to mix things up then you will need a sports bra that can do it all. And if you're someone who excels at a certain sport then you'll want a bra that is well suited to that particular activity.
Finding the perfect fit can be challenging, especially when shopping online. Not being able to try on the product and a seemingly endless list of different options can make choosing a sports bra a real headache. Luckily, Live Science has spent hours searching for the best sports bra deals to suit everyone regardless of size or activity level.

How to find sports bra deals
The first thing to think about when searching for the best sports bra deals in stock is what is your budget? You can buy a sports bra for under $10, but pay a bit more and you will get something that is better made and lasts a bit longer. Also, remember you are going to be cleaning your sports bras a lot, so you need something that is good quality and that won’t disintegrate in the laundry.
The next key factor is fit and comfort – you want a sports bra that offers decent support and, ideally, is made from sweat-wicking, breathable material to keep you cool when you work out.
Laura Kong Brown, Product Development Manager at Runderwear, told Live Science that women should also look for sports bras that have adjustable padded straps and hook and eye closure at the back. This can also help when it comes to taking the sports bra off.
Laura advises: “Consider the underband too, as this is where most of the support comes from in the bra. It needs to be soft, comfortable and as well-fitting as possible to maximize support and to prevent chafing.”

Laura Kong Brown, Product Development Manager at Runderwear, told Live Science that women should also look for sports bras that have adjustable padded straps and hook and eye closure at the back. This can also help when it comes to taking the sports bra off.
Laura advises: “Consider the underband too, as this is where most of the support comes from in the bra. It needs to be soft, comfortable and as well-fitting as possible to maximize support and to prevent chafing.”
If treadmills or running outside (opens in new tab) is your thing, or you love high impact workouts and have larger breasts, then support is even more crucial. Low impact fans who like things like yoga (see our guide to the best yoga mats (opens in new tab)) or rowing, will still benefit from a good sports bra, as it helps you exercise in comfort without chafing.
Another tip from Laura is to look for “molded cups to encapsulate and compartmentalize each breast, controlling movement across all three planes of the body (up and down, in and out and side to side).
Laura tells Live Science: “Look for a high neckline to ensure breast tissue is fully encased within the cups in order to minimize upward bounce. Plus a wide underband to ensure additional support.”
