3 Reasons You’ll Love These Women’s Bras & Crop Tops

For the modern athletic woman, wearing the right women’s bras & crop tops goes a long way towards staying comfortable and supported throughout the day and your running journey. Here are three reasons why your wardrobe should have these women’s activewear essentials from RunDNA!

Reason #1: Run-ready comfort & performance

A well-fitted sports bra helps provide bounce-reducing comfort, making it easier to move and complete your workouts distraction-free. Athletic bras also evenly distribute weight across your bust, which helps maintain good running posture and prevents long-term muscle issues. 

Reason #2: Flexibility & individuality

Gym bras are versatile enough for all kinds of activities, from exercise to recovery. They come in many styles, so you can find the perfect one for different needs. Sports bras are available in a variety of styles to suit your preferences, such as with encapsulating or compressive support, featuring racerback, standard or adjustable straps. 

Reason #3: Fitness support

Finally, wearing the right fitness bras can also lead to long-term health benefits. It helps prevent common issues like back and shoulder pain from becoming major problems. Opt for high support during high-impact activities such as running, moderate support for medium-impact activities like cycling, and low support for light workouts and stretches like yoga, foam rolling or walking.

Pair them with women's compression tights which offer good support during activities, especially physical ones, and can help protect you from injury and avoid discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I measure my bra size accurately?

Measure under your bust where the band would sit, pulling the tape snugly and rounding to the nearest whole number. Next, measure the fullest part of your bust. 

On a size chart, the band measurement typically suggests the numerical part of the size (e.g. 8, 10, 12 and so on). Find your cup size by subtracting the band measurement from the bust measurement. Generally, every 2cm difference equals one cup size (e.g. 12-14cm = A cup, 14cm - 16cm = B cup and so on).

As sizing can vary between brands, please follow the size guide of the specific brand of sports bra. 

How do I prevent chafing while wearing a sports bra?

Choosing the right size of bra can prevent chafing. Look for smooth edges and fewer seams to prevent skin irritation during active movements. Also, choose workout bras made from moisture-wicking fabrics to help keep your skin dry.
