Yahoo Lifestyle is committed to finding you the best products at the best prices. We may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change.
Sports bras are necessary, but they can be evil. Think chafing, digging, laughable support, cups that fall out in the wash. But when you find a great one, you’ll hold onto it for dear life.
Working out takes effort enough, so we’ve eased your burden by seeking out the best, top-rated options. Think of how much easier it’ll be to get to the gym if you feel good about the sports bra you are sporting.
We read reviews and prioritized comfort, support and snazzy features. The result? Ten sports bras — from one with adjustable straps to an easy-on, easy-off zip-front version — sure to lend support.
Yianni Strappy Sports Bra
“This sports bra is comfortable...like the type you can wear to work all day and then to the gym afterwards,” writes one reviewer. “It's padded, so it looks good under everything for the flat-chested, like me. And SO cute!”
Shop it: Yianni Strappy Sports Bra, $19, amazon.com
Champion Women's Freedom Seamless Racerback Sport Bra
One five-star reviewer writes: “It's hard to find a compression sports bra that doesn't try to lift and separate or force cleavage. So if you are looking for something for modesty at the gym, reduce jiggle, or just get a sleeker chest line this is the best value for the money”

Playtex Women's 18 Hour Ultimate Lift and Support Wire Free Bra
Amazon’s No. 1 best-selling plus-size bra, shoppers say this bra is perfect for those with big busts because of its support and structure.
“I wear a size 38DDD and needed a cheap bra I could wear around the house or under some layers - I wasn't in the market for some ultra sexy or that'd give me epic cleavage,” writes one five-star reviewer. “This pretty much fits the bill for that type of bra. It's comfortable, it keeps the girls nicely supported, and it was cheap enough that I'm going to be purchasing a couple more.”
Shop it: Playtex Women's 18 Hour Ultimate Lift and Support Wire-Free Bra, $12 to $39 depending on size and color, amazon.com
Mrity Women Racerback Sports Bra
Reviewers swear by this soft, supportive bra, raving about everything from the full coverage to stay-put cups and impressive comfort. The wide straps won’t dig into your skin, and the back hook-and-eye closure means it’s easy to get on and off. It’s not cheap — but it’s quality that’ll last.

Bali Women's Comfort Revolution Wirefree Bra
“If you are searching for a bra that has coverage AND comfort, search no further,” writes one five-star reviewer. “The Bali bra is like an invisible hug upon the boobs and for the first time in a long time I am not uncomfortable in that region.”
