These sizes can come up small
We suggest sizing up a band from your normal size. This means if you're normally a 34D, we would recommend a 36D

Sports Bra FAQs
Do different sports require a different types of sports bra?
YES, because the impact on your breasts changes based on the intensity of each sport. For example, there is more pressure on and movement of the breast during Running than say Pilates, so they require different levels of support. But more than support, the style can influence your comfort level too, for example in Pilates there is lots of floorwork, so something like our new InfinitY bra which is front opening with a Y shaped back will ensure you don’t feel uncomfortable on your shoulders whilst stretching and building muscle.
I have a tiny chest, do I need to wear a sports bra?
YOU REALLY DO! The chest is not a muscle and whatever its weight, small or big, the Cooper's ligaments that hold it stretch after repeated movements and they do not recover
If a sports bra looks great, does that mean it's supportive?
Not necessarily. While a stylish sports bra can help you feel confident, the most important thing is how it performs when you move. When trying on a sports bra, make sure to jump, stretch, lift your arms and move around as you would during exercise. A well-fitting sports bra should feel secure, comfortable and supportive throughout. The best sports bra combines both style and support, so you never have to choose between the two.
I seem to fit more than one sports bra size. Can't I just adjust the straps to make different sizes work?
Not quite. While adjusting the straps can help fine-tune the fit, they can't make up for an incorrect band or cup size. In fact, around 80% of women are thought to be wearing the wrong bra size, meaning many miss out on the comfort, support and confidence that comes from a properly fitted sports bra. Finding the right size helps ensure the best support for your body and activity level.
