They can, while you’re wearing one, because compression holds you closer to your body. That’s the support working. Padded styles add shape if you prefer a fuller look.

Yes. During exercise, a well-fitted sports bra reduces movement and the discomfort that comes with it.

Look for a wide, firm underband, a close fit that limits bounce, and straps that stay put. Product pages state the support level; ours are listed in the table above.

Yes. Most Hunnit sports bras go up to 4XL. For the most support, choose a high support style.

Yes, if it fits well and isn’t too tight. Softer, lower-support styles like PLUSH are the most comfortable for long wear.

Roughly every 6 to 12 months if you wear it regularly, or sooner if the band feels loose.

A padded sports bra gives you shape and coverage, so you can wear it on its own at the gym or under a light tee without a second thought. Most of the bras in this collection are padded. Here’s how the range breaks down.

High support, for running, HIIT and skipping. The Cosmic Waves Sports Bra, the OG Front Zipper Sports Bra, the OG Sports Bra and the Zen Padded Round Neck Sports Bra. The OG Front Zipper opens at the front, so it’s easy to get on and off after a sweaty session. Shop them all in our high impact sports bra collection.

Medium support, for strength training, spin and everyday workouts. The Zen Halo, Zen Nova, Zen Padded V-Neck, Epic Pop V-Neck, FLO and OOZE sports bras. This is the level most women wear most days.

Low to medium support, for yoga, Pilates and all-day wear. The PLUSH Sports Bra, our softest. See every low impact style in our yoga sports bra collection.

Prefer to skip the bra altogether on lighter days? Our tank tops with built-in bra give you light to medium support in one layer.

Which Hunnit sports bra goes best with leggings

With high-waisted gym leggings, choose a bra that ends just above the waistband so the two meet neatly: any of our medium or high support styles will do. For hot days and the court, swap leggings for skorts for women. And if you want a top and bottom that match exactly, most of our bras also come in gym co-ord sets.

Impact level describes how much your body moves during a workout, and how much support you need to stop that movement.

A low impact sports bra is made for yoga, Pilates, stretching and walking. It feels soft and comfortable, with gentle support and very little compression.

A medium impact sports bra is made for strength training, cycling, dance and brisk walking. It has a firmer band and holds you in place without feeling tight.

A high impact sports bra is made for running, HIIT, skipping and court sports. High support in a sports bra means a wide, firm underband, a close fit that limits bounce, and straps that don’t slip.

If you do a mix of workouts, buy for the most intense one. Our guide to sports bra impact levels goes into each level in more detail.

Which Hunnit sports bra is best for running

The best sports bra for running is a high support bra with a wide, firm underband that does most of the work, a fit that holds you close without squashing, and a breathable, quick-dry fabric for long runs in the heat. Running is the most demanding thing you can do in a sports bra, so this is not the place to compromise. At Hunnit, choose the Cosmic Waves, OG Front Zipper, OG or Zen Padded Round Neck. If you have a fuller bust, look at the same styles in our plus size sports bra range. For a full buying guide to the sports bra for running that suits you, read which sports bra is best for running.

Which Hunnit sports bra is best for dance and Zumba

Dance, Zumba and aerobics involve a lot of jumping, turning and arm movement, so you need a bra that supports you without restricting your shoulders. For most classes, the best dance sports bra is a medium support bra with a racerback or wide straps, like the Epic Pop V-Neck or Zen Halo. For high-energy cardio dance, step up to a high support style.

A sports bra should feel firmer than your everyday bra, but never painful. Check four things in the changing room.

1. The band sits snug and level all the way round. You should fit two fingers under it, no more.
2. The straps don’t dig in or slip off your shoulders. The band, not the straps, carries the support.
3. The cups or front panel don’t let you spill over the top or sides, and don’t gape.
4. The jump test. Jump on the spot. If you bounce, go for more support or a smaller band.

How do you find your Hunnit sports bra size

Here’s how to measure for a sports bra at home. You need two numbers. Measure around your ribcage, just under your bust, keeping the tape level and snug: that’s your band. Then measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape loose: that’s your bust. Match both to the size guide on the product page. If you fall between sizes, size up for comfort or down for more support.
