Moving Comfort Alexis Sports Bra

Best sports bra for A cups

Pros
  • Soft and comfortable
  • Stylish
  • Built-in cups for subtle shaping
Cons
  • Runs small, wearers say
  • Some have problems with chafing

The Moving Comfort Alexis Sports Bra earns a number of recommendations for women with A/B cups who want a comfortable bra for low-impact activities like walking, yoga and cycling. This compression sports bra supports breasts by holding them firmly against the body, and it includes built-in cups to give small-breasted women a little boost. Reviewers with small breasts like the subtle shaping, and the Moving Comfort Alexis sports bra gets high marks for breathability, style and comfort. It has thin straps and a racerback design, so the straps curve inwards in back to give arms a better range of movement. According to reviews, the straps stay in place well and the bra is comfortable overall. However, several reviewers find that the Alexis bra runs small and a few stray women report problems with chafing. If you need a sports bra for high-impact exercise, the Champion Shape T-Back Sports Bra (*Est. $30) is also recommended for A/B cups.

Several reviewers test the Moving Comfort Alexis Sports Bra, but the best coverage comes from Runner's World. The magazine enlists the help of a number of runners to test various sports bras, and reviews are balanced and relatively detailed. Women's Health and Fitness magazines also cover the Moving Comfort Alexis, but their reviews are less detailed and aren't as balanced. Amazon.com is the best source for user reviews, but the bra only attracts about a dozen owner-written reviews so far.
