Discover the Best Sports Bra for Large Breasts

It Feels Different Because It Is Different.®

Female athletes who have a larger chest may experience greater movement when engaging in high-impact activities such as aerobic workouts, runs, marathons, horseback riding and ball sports. With the wrong sports bra, this can lead to discomfort, pain and a breakdown of breast tissue. SugarSports has designed the groundbreaking, innovative SugarShock® high-impact sports bra, which controls breast weight movement so there’s zero bounce.

How is this possible? The groundbreaking SugarShock bra design combines the latest sports bra technology with the engineered concept of shock-absorption to come up with the perfect solution for unwanted bounce. 

Why is SugarShock the Best Sports Bra for Large Bust Sizes?

The SugarShock® bra has an innovative design that comes from hydro-mechanical engineering. It features a proprietary, patented Shock Band that is specifically sewn into the bra. This band goes over the top of the breast and acts as a shock absorber to dissipate motion energy, keep breast weight down and hold the breast steady during high-impact activity. It’s made for athletes who regularly engage in high-impact workouts and sports, but it’s a smart bra design for all women with large bust sizes. Rather than just a support bra, which tries to push the breast higher yet doesn’t do anything for the movement, our SugarShock bra captures and disperses the energy around the body for more effective control. It’s a game-changer for female athletes who are highly active with their fitness workout and in competitive sports, as it allows them to concentrate on their performance.

The SugarShock® high-impact sports bra is engineered to reduce motion, allowing you to focus.

Health Risks of Breast Movement During High-Impact Sports

Some women with a larger chest size may have an increased risk of upper back pain, due to the weight of the breasts straining muscles and ligaments in the back. While scientific studies haven’t shown a direct link between breast size and upper back pain, researchers agree that larger-breasted women, especially if they wear ill-fitting bras, may experience discomfort that includes possible shoulder and neck pain. With the SugarShock fitness bra, you can be more comfortable during high-impact sports and other high-impact activities. Our specially designed sports bra for large bust sized women will look great on you while it eliminates breast motion so you can enjoy your workout or completely slay at your competitive sport.

SugarShock – Science and Art Merge to Create THE Best Sports Bra for Large Breasts

The Science: While women’s breasts average approximately 5 to 15 pounds, ladies with a size D cup or larger may be struggling with 20-plus pounds. A bra that provides support holds up the breasts and supports them from the bottom, but this type of support doesn’t reduce breast movement during high-impact activities (or even medium-impact workouts). Since breasts have weight, compression (pressing them tight against the body) or encapsulation (using separate cups for each breast) will not have any effect on motion. In addition, studies have found that breasts move in all directions, making a standard support bra or underwire bra useless in stopping the bounce. The only bra that can eliminate breast motion is SugarShock®. It uses a patented Shock Band that goes over the top of the breast, capturing breast energy and dispersing that energy around the body.

The revolutionary SugarShock bra:

• Holds breast weight down and keeps the chest weight steady

• Prevents the hard up and down motion of breast weight

• Captures breast energy and disperses it around the body

• Stops motion and increases comfort

SugarShock is the best sports bra for large bust sized women, because it uses a special design that prevents breast motion.

The Art: Another feature that makes SugarShock so unique is its sense of style. Your average structural bra isn’t attractive, and the typical designer fashion bra isn’t functional — especially for women with a large chest. If you need a structural bra, you’d often be stuck with a behemoth of a bra that looks and feels clunky and awkward. If you wanted something fashionable, it wouldn’t hold up to the rigors of long hours of training. But no more. The SugarShock® sports bra completely bucks the trends, giving you the best of both worlds! It’s a fantastic-looking, super stylish active wear item and a serious piece of athletic equipment, all in one. The SugarShock bra stops breast motion and lets you concentrate on being your best to achieve your performance goals.

What Does a High-Impact Bra Mean?

In real-world terms, a high-impact bra means that breasts are kept still while you’re running, doing high-impact training such as a CrossFit workout, jumping rope, riding a horse, playing a ball sport or any other fitness activity. A high-impact sports bra that directly deals with the motion of breast weight during high-impact activities is the best sports bra for large bust sizes. Unlike support bras that just provide minimal support and do nothing to lessen the bounce, the SugarSports patented SugarShock® is the only high-impact bra on the market that effectively controls breast weight. You’ll experience zero movement and zero bounce, while you enjoy unequaled comfort and great style.

What Features Are Required for the Best High-Impact Sports Bra?

As the founder of SugarSports discovered, the best high-impact bra is one that has some form of “shock absorber,” the same type of device that is built into vehicles so that the people inside don’t bounce around when the roads get bumpy. A car’s shock absorber system absorbs, dampens and dissipates the shock energy, and the Shock Band, which is specifically sewn into our SugarShock® bra, does much the same thing. Another important feature of the best bra for high-impact sports and workouts is a soft, moisture-wicking fabric that keeps women athletes comfortable even during high-intensity training outdoors and at the gym, as well as during sports competitions. Sizing is also critical. The best sports bras for large breasts and high-impact activities must have extra length in the front of each of the available sizes, so that breasts are completely covered. The SugarShock sports bra achieves the highest marks for all these requirements!

How to Pick a Sports Bra for Large Bust Size and High-Impact Workouts

• A sports bra for large bust sizes must fit properly. This seems obvious, but many sports bras are just too small for large-busted women. Our SugarShock bra features added length in the front panel for a greater surface area, which provides all women with greater coverage and a better, more comfortable fit. Proper fit also eliminates the chance of chafing and blistering, which can happen if the bra is either too tight or too loose.

• The rib cage band should be snug around your body, yet comfortable. If the band is too loose, it will ride up as you run or move around and can damage your skin. If it is too tight, you won’t be able to breathe freely and take in enough oxygen to power your physical activity. The SugarShock sports bra fits snugly and is wide enough to sit comfortably against the skin. During high-impact activity, even if you’re sweating, it stays perfectly in place.

• The bra’s shoulder straps should be comfortable, but not adjustable. Adjustable shoulder straps are not recommended for a sports bra, since the hardware may cause friction that can lead to blisters. The straps should be tight enough not to slip off your shoulders, but not so tight that they dig into your skin. If shoulder straps are loose or too flexible, they may stretch from the greater breast weight, which will cause even more bounce. SugarShock shoulder straps are perfectly smooth for the greatest comfort, with just the right level of snugness for peak control.

• Sports bra fabric should breathe, wick away moisture and be extremely durable. Cheaper sports bras may use a coarser material that can be uncomfortable and not provide the moisture wicking you need to stay comfortable. At SugarSports, we only use the highest quality athletic fabric blend for our SugarShock® high-impact sports bras. They include a custom lining of soft fabric that was chosen for its optimal moisture control and comfort. Lycra® (also known as Spandex) is the most popular material for the world’s best-selling contemporary athletic clothing, as it’s durable, moisture wicking and breathable. It’s also washable and easy to care for.   

Are Sports Bras Comfortable?

A correctly designed and properly sized sports bra (hint: we’re talking about the SugarShock® bra) will be the most comfortable bra you’ve ever owned, whether you use it as a daily bra, for your yoga routine or for high-impact activities.

A lot can go wrong, especially for women with large cup sizes. Mostly, it will be difficult to find one that fits properly or controls movement. Or, if you’re looking at a bra that’s designed for high-impact activities, it may include an uncomfortable underwire structure or adjustable straps that dig into your shoulders as you run. The material might make you sweaty, or it might feel like you’re in a straitjacket.

Finding the perfect sports bra that’s comfortable to wear on your run or during exercise is a challenge, but the SugarShock® bra is a wire-free sports bra that will be a welcomed addition to your fitness wardrobe. This is the best sports bra for large breasts and for women who engage in an active lifestyle. It’s so comfortable, you’ll want to wear it all the time! And it’s just as ideal for yoga and other gentler forms of fitness as it is for high-impact aerobics.   

The Best Sports Bra for Large Bust Sizes — Designed by a 34DD Triathlon Athlete!

If we still haven’t convinced you that our SugarShock® sports bra is the best sports bra for large breasts, we’d like to introduce you to the founder of SugarSports and inventor of SugarShock — Trish Hawkins, a 34DD triathlon athlete. Yes, the journey began as a personal mission, as part of a long search for the best sports bra.  

As Trish worked on her triathlon training, she could never find a sports bra that worked as she needed it to, controlling undesirable bounce. In her frustration, she decided to design her own. There were many designs and a lot of trial and error. She attempted to modify the shoulder straps, increase compression, add separate cups and tighten the rib cage band, but none of these methods worked. She tested the various designs in her training sessions and studied medical diagrams and anatomical drawings to learn about the female body and breast tissue.

At the time, she was working in an engineering company that designed steel structures. After looking at the problem from a completely different perspective — that is, how this challenge might be addressed in a manufacturing environment — she came up with a unique and bold idea that was to become the seed for her invention. She would try adding a shock band to the sports bra design, which would capture, absorb and disperse the energy of the breast movement.

She went for a run to test her new discovery and to her surprise, it worked. The first SugarShock sports bra was custom made for Trish’s triathlon training and competitions. Now, she uses the softest, smoothest material she can find to create the perfect sports bra. As her fellow female athletes started hearing of her invention, they of course wanted to try it. And SugarSports, LLC was born! It is the mission of SugarSports to bring Trish’s vison for the best sports bras to women athletes everywhere, so that they can train and compete at the highest level.
