No matter your cup size, it's important that you have a comfortable and supportive sports bra, for any gym-related activity – even something like yoga. Although it's a low-impact activity that focuses on slow, controlled movements, you need to be supported nonetheless. And tightening the settings on your usual day-to-day bra will not work in the same way.

Finding your perfect sports bra depends on the exercise you most like doing, as most sports bras are tailored to the level of intensity and impact of your workout. So, we've cleverly edited the best options available right now, into low, medium and high impact categories, so you can easily find one that best suits your favourite activities. You're welcome.
