Bra Gal: Find a Sports Bra That's True To Size

By Jene Luciani, Author of The Bra Book, for GalTime.com


"I have a hard time finding a sports bra that's true to size. What can I do?" - TJ, Reno, Nevada


Most people don't realize that there are two types of sports bras - encapsulation, which mimics a regular bra and has separate "cups," and compression, which is your typical sports bra.

It's the kind you pull over your head, and it presses your breasts together to keep them from moving while you exercise. My advice to you would be to look for an encapsulation style that is closest to your regular bra size, like this one, by Champion.

That way, you will get the truest fit.
