Read moreAthletic Breasts: What They Are & Best Bras for Athletic Breast Shape

One size certainly does not fit all when understanding and celebrating our unique bodies. If you are one of the women who identify with having athletic breasts, we are here to help you work around the challenges that come with trying to find the perfect bra. Despite their name, athletic breasts are as common for women who sweat it out in the gym as they are for non-athletes. Let us explore what defines athletic breast types, the importance of supportive bras, and how to choose the perfect bra style for your athletic breast shape.
What are Athletic Breast Types?
Athletic breasts are so named because they are more frequent in persons with athletic builds - but you don't have to be a terrific athlete to get them! Essentially, athletic breast shape features wider, more muscular breasts with less tissue. This makes them feel firmer and perkier. Athletic breasts are flatter and not as round as other breast types, with their broader base and more prominent ribcage. This means they are often on the smaller side. Because of these factors, athletic breasts seldom require a lot of support.
However, those with athletic boobs struggle with finding the bra with the perfect fit. Cup gaping tends to be a common issue for women due to the lack of volume up top, which leaves many feeling frustrated and unsupported.
Importance of Supportive Bras for Athletic Boobs
Finding a supportive bra for athletic breasts cannot be overstated. It is not only an issue of aesthetics but also of health, wellness, and comfort. The right bra will lift and support your breasts, minimizing cup gaping and ensuring that the breasts sit comfortably in the bra without discomfort.
People who have athletic breasts may also complain that their underwires dig in all the time. This is because the root of this breast (where it joins with the chest) is relatively wide, and the underwire's curvature is often designed for a narrower breast. It may sit on top of or press into the side of the breasts. Finding the right bra is, therefore, necessary for a comfortable fit.
Finally, while this may not be a fit issue as such, some with the athletic breast shape may desire a rounder, fuller look, which a bra can certainly help with.
Choosing the Right Bra for Athletic Breasts
Several bras are designed to suit different breast shapes, sizes, and preferences. For athletic breasts, we recommend bras that shape and lift the breasts' volume from the base so that there is less cup gaping at the top. We have curated a list of the best bras for athletic breast shape:
24/7 Classic T-Shirt Bra
This bra is a wardrobe staple for nearly any breast shape, especially for the athletic breast type. It has a seamless design and ultra-thin memory foam cups that mold to your breast shape, creating a naturally rounded shape. You can finally say goodbye to cup gaping.
24/7 Classic Uplift Plunge Bra
This plunge bra is an excellent choice for athletic breast shapes. It helps accentuate your cleavage, and the deep 'V' neckline helps showcase it. The bra has removable pads that can help add some volume and lift your breasts to give you a fuller look. Finally, now you can show off some cleavage. Moreover, you can customize and show as much or as little as you would like with the removable pads.
