How to Choose the Right Support Level for Your Sports Bra

The most common question we get about sports bras isn't about sizing — it's about support level. Here's how we think about the difference.

Light-to-medium support

Right for Pilates, yoga, walking, recovery days. The priority is comfort and mobility, not maximum compression. This is where wider-band, softer-fabric styles belong.

Medium-to-high support

Right for the gym, weight training, HIIT. The CherrySculpt™ Contour Bra sits here — a firm underbust band, wide straps, but never restricting your breathing mid-set.

High support

Right for running, jumping, any repeated-impact movement. The PowerLift Sports Bra is built specifically for this — strong compression, no bounce with every stride.

How to choose between sizes

If you're torn between two band sizes, size down — the band should sit firm from the first wear, not stretch out after a few washes. Exact figures live on each product's own size guide.
