Bra Compression Types

  • Classic Compression Bras: Sports bras designed to minimize chest movement by pressing the chest flat as a single unit. The classic compression bra works well for small- to medium-busted women (A and B cup).
  • Encapsulated Compression Bra: Encapsulated compression bras are best for larger-busted women (B and C cup). Encapsulated bras resemble regular bras-some even have underwires-but they offer more support by compressing each breast individually, rather than compressing them as a single unit.
  • Adjustable Encapsulated Compression Bras: Adjustable encapsulation bras provide maximum support for the larger-breasted runner (C, D, and DD cup). This bra type incorporates encapsulated compression, as well as a wide adjustable band and wide adjustable straps for full support.
