Best quick fix for sports
SMUG’s breast support band provides increased breast support for women during high-impact activities. Workout, go running, and play sports with complete confidence using this ultra-supportive fitness accessory that comfortably restricts breast movement far more effectively than a sports bra. This game-changing band can be worn with your existing sports bra, either on top or underneath. Your sports bra will provide uplift, whilst the support band provides compression from the top of your breasts to prevent vertical and lateral movement.

Best ultimate sports bra
MAAREE Battle Encapsulation Sports Bra, £76
The breast moves in a figure of eight when we exercise, so why wouldn’t we design a sports bra that supports this movement profile. Enter the Battle Bra. Featuring our proprietary Overband technology, this curved panel that runs over the top of the breasts reduces upward motion like no other bra before. We have integrated this technology into our new encapsulated sports bra to offer superior support and shaping.
