Preferably you should buy only cotton sports bras because other materials may cause irritation due to excessive sweating.

Cotton soaks up the sweat and therefore relieves you of the sticky sweaty feeling.

Choose Right

The sports bra you choose should have fabric covered elastic bands, or else they will hurt you during workout or if you have to wear them for long hours. Remember, your bra should not be too clingy so as to disallow you from breathing normally.

Avoid buying fancy sports bras made of thin material. You don't want it to be see-through and attract unnecessary attention. So, rather than getting something fancy, make sure you get something long-lasting and comfortable.

Wear It Right

Preferably, wear your sports bra over your regular bra. Do not wear an extremely tight bra underneath your sports bra. If both your bras are too tight, you will have difficulty breathing normally.

Sports bras with cups have a firmer grip. So if you are top heavy, this kind of bra will help you more than the other kind.

Remember, when you go bra shopping, the correct style and size of your sport bra depends on the kind of gym activities (cardio or weights) you usually do, your body shape and your comfort levels.
