If youre concerned about feeling suffocated, we recommend you size up.
I would feel confident taking my workout outside wearing just this bra as it provided sufficient coverage.
The bra cuts just right, with its racerback straps and lower-back cutout.
Note that there arent any adjustable features, so you may want to size up or down accordingly.
We found that any moisture on the Ultimate bra wicked away quickly, and the fabric dried swiftly.
Neither jumping nor twisting is any competition to what this Freya bra provides.

It has a hook clasp in the back and wide, adjustable straps that wont dig in.
If youre sticking to low impact, it will hold you in and prevent bouncing just fine.
The straps are superwide, and the neck is a fair mid-height.

It has a great, wide band that stayed flush around her rib cageunlike other bra shes tried before.
As such, finding a good sports bra while nursing can be really difficult.
Even better: Yes, you’re able to nurse while wearing it.

However, we think the nursing functionality makes up for it.
So nursing mamas, add this one to your closet, stat.
