I promise that after reading this blog post, you are going to find the perfect high-impact sports bra for you.
My Journey to Finding the Perfect Sports Bra
It was January 2023, and it was time to start going to the gym. However, the idea of wearing two bras for extra support was discouraging. At that moment, I started the search for the perfect high-impact sports bra for a large bust. It was a tedious process, and this will be long, but I swear the result is incredible.
Ordering Sports Bras Online
So, this was the easiest thing to do: ordering a bunch of bras from the brands I knew (Triumph, Adidas,…) and on the size “I have always been”. And the result was terrible. I was a 16D in Australia and thought it was a 4D in Italy. But it went really wrong, I tried at least 12 bras and none of them was comfortable.
Returning Every Single Sports Bra
My entryway was full of parcels. I had lost count of all the bras that I had returned, I was deluded and clueless; I didn’t know what was wrong with my body and the bra sizes. 4D was not my size, but I didn’t know my actual size. I tried ordering similar sizes, but it wouldn’t work either. Going to a shop was not an option for me. I had a bad experience once, and since then, I have avoided measuring bras at shops at all costs.
Finding GOLD
Then my search on Google started, and I landed in the best place ever: a Reddit Community called “ABraThatFits“. My life has changed for good since that day. I’ll start to describe in a few words what I felt in that moment: I felt heard, I felt represented, I felt that I was not alone searching for the perfect bra.
I investigated the Community and found gold. Ultra, mega valuable information, data, and photos to find a bra that fits. Here are the steps I followed to find my perfect bra.

It was life-changing. Getting ready for the gym now is a seamless process. I don’t have to wear two bras and pray for support; now I’m sure I can jump, and everything will stay in place.
