How to Find the Perfect Fit
Firstly…
Measure your bust size and underband size using the simple method illustrated in the video below. Also, take note of your traditional bra size.
To accurately obtain your bra measurements, please ensure you don't wear a sports bra which will naturally compress you but rather wear a loose fitted bra of light fabric.
Underband Measurement
Bust Measurement
Secondly…
Refer to the shyAktive size guide below. The underband size is the most important measurement as the underband is the main support structure of a sports bra. The bust size is also important for support as the shyAktive bras are compression sports bras. However, the Tencel fabric will mould to your individual shape, and natural fluctuations of your breasts size during the month can allow for a more flexible measurement.
Sports bras do tend to fit more tightly, so for a looser fit feel free to size up! For larger busts (DD/E+), we also recommend sizing up.
Thirdly…
Refer to the descriptions below to ensure you are purchasing a bra that meets your criteria.
And finally enjoy your sports bra!
THE CLASSIC BRA
The Classic Bra is a snug fit with a supportive band, high front neckline coverage and slightly thicker straps for added support. The bra should feel supportive and only allow minimal bounce during rigorous exercise. It is our most supportive bra for performance but also takes you from rigorous exercise to all your other activities with the sweat wicking Tencel Modal fabric. Size up for a more relaxed fit and feel!
THE RACERBACK BRA
The Racerback Bra will feel tight but softens on the body to allow full movement of the body for all types of exercise. This bra is particularly suited to activities like yoga, gym and dance, and for all those inversions your breasts will stay firmly in place! The racerback style in Tencel Modal 8% spandex should feel comfortable and will take you from exercise to coffee to drinks. Pair it with denim shorts for a cute everyday look!
THE BRALETTE
The Bralette will feel like a cloud with the buttery soft Tencel Lyocell fabric and only 4% spandex. The Bralette fits a little looser around the bust compared to the other ShyAktive bras but should still support your breasts in place. The front neckline coverage on this bra is on the lower side. The criss cross straps provide flexibility of movement while also providing support without the hassle of adjustable straps. Don’t hesitate to wear this bra casually or dive into the water after a workout ☺
