Guide des soutiens-gorge de sport : impact & maintien

April 2, 20257 min de lectureSports

A great sports bra balances impact control, comfort, and breathability. Use this guide to dial in the ingredients that matter most for your workout.

Impact Levels

  • Low: Yoga, pilates, walking → light compression, breathable
  • Medium: Dance, cycling → moderate compression, adjustable straps
  • High: Running, HIIT → high-impact encapsulation, wide straps, firm band

Choose encapsulation (separate cups) for stronger support and compression styles for lighter movement.

À privilégier

  • Choisissez un mix compression + encapsulation avec bretelles réglables.
  • Des bonnets contournés ou spacer maintiennent la forme tout en respirant.
  • Les ailes en power-mesh stabilisent sans comprimer.

Fit Checklist

Use this quick check after every try-on to make sure your bra is actually ready for impact.

  • Band snug and level; 2-finger rule
  • No spillage or gaping; straps stable
  • Moisture-wicking fabric; quick-dry

Style Tips

  • For higher projection: encapsulation with narrower wires
  • For shallow shapes: compression mixes better
  • Try racerback for added support

Sports bra FAQ

Do I need to size down for high-impact workouts?

Stay in your calculated band size. Instead, choose bras with firmer fabrics, multi-hook bands, and encapsulation to boost support without choking your ribs.

Can I layer two sports bras for extra support?

Layering can trap heat and restrict breathing. A single high-impact bra with the right structure (firm band, wide straps, encapsulated cups) performs better.

How often should I replace a sports bra?

Every 6–12 months of regular training or sooner if the band stretches out, the straps slip, or impact control drops.
