WORDS BY DAISY HENRY
Locked in.
For people with big boobs, finding the perfect sports bra to see you through stretches, HIIT sessions and hot mat classes is no easy feat. Far too often, sports bras make promises they can’t always keep, offering limited support for anyone beyond a C cup.

However, the perfect sports bra shouldn’t be rendered ineffective just because someone has big boobs. If anything, modern engineering should have surely advanced enough to provide adequate support and prevent any bounce. But we know finding the perfect bra is an arduous process, so to help, we put the call out to Fashion Journal readers with big boobs to share their all-time favourite sports bras to exercise in.
