There’s nothing more uncomfortable than feeling your boobs bounce up and down the second you break into a jog—I’ve been known to wear two sports bras just to avoid it. But surely there are some options out there that are so supportive, you don’t need to layer them…right?
I asked the SELF team to help me find the best sports bras for big boobs by testing a ton of options from top activewear brands like Lululemon, Athleta, and more. We put them through their paces on hikes, bike rides, runs, workout classes and lots of other activities. After two months, we’re excited to (finally) share the winners with you—check them out below.

We tested more than a dozen sports bras for months to learn which activities they work best for. During our runs, workout classes, and daily routines, we assessed how well they supported our chests. (Were our boobs bouncing at the first sign of cardio? Were we showing sideboob at the gym? Did we feel confident while wearing them?)
While some bras completely missed the mark, we did find a few holy grails that surprised us.
