Tightness of sports bra?

marinabjorns

Hello and happy holidays!
I received this awesome Casall Comfort sports bra for Christmas, but the underband feels a bit tight. I recently lost 10 kg/22 lbs but my bra size is still the same as before.
The tightness of this sports bra definitely adds up for the support that my previous one was lacking, but I'm concerned on whether it will be uncomfortable when exercising.

MFP sisters, can you give me any advice on this? How tight should the underband of a sports bra be for a perfect fit?

Well fitting ones often do feel quite tight.
If you can get a finger or two between your body and the band, it's probably fine. It will stretch a little bit with wear as well.

I don't think there is a definitive answer on this... wear it for whatever workout you intend to use it for and, if it's too tight or too loose then there's your answer. If you're worried about sweating in it and not being able to take it back then you just have to make the call after you try it on. Most pullover type sports bras loosen up over time so I like to start them out a bit tighter. The type that fasten are another story. I have to have a good secure fit on those from day one, with room to tighten up since I am actively losing weight.

It should be tight! You could try exercising in it and find out if it comfortable for "you"

I have a couple that are tight like that. It’s tight enough to leave a mark when I take it off. It’s not the most comfortable thing in the world but i don’t notice it while working out and I don’t really want to buy more so.
