How to Choose the Right Sports Bra

Did you know breasts can bounce up to 15cm in any direction if you're not wearing the right sports bra? Getting enough support is important because otherwise the delicate ligaments of the breast can stretch, exacerbating any natural sagging, and unfortunately the damage is irreversible. At M&S, there are two levels of support available in our Goodmove sports bra range: medium support for activities ranging from yoga to hiking and ultimate support for exercise such as running or HIIT.

If you have larger breasts, always opt for high or extra-high-impact support, as your bust will naturally move more and therefore needs extra hold.

When buying a sports bra, always buy the same size as your normal bra. It may feel firmer, but this is because it's designed to minimise bounce. However, it should still feel comfortable and allow complete freedom of movement – if in doubt, mimic the activity you are planning to do in the bra when you try it on.
