Small boobs means plenty of bra choices, lucky you.
You can wear every style because unlike bustier ladies you don't have to worry about serious supportive technology. But don't be fooled, the Cooper's ligaments in the breast will still stretch without the right support, so no spinning in yoga bras.
You have a great cup size and plenty of bra choices, congrats.
BUT if you want to keep these knockers pert and perky, you need the right support for the level of impact you are doing. Once your Cooper's ligaments stretch they'll never go back to their former glory, so stop the drop whilst you still can.
Have you heard of Cooper's ligaments?
This gentle tissue supports your breasts and needs the right bra to prevent any irreversible stretching. So, however great your boobs are, you need the right level of support. Any prolonged bouncing or movement of the breasts will cause permanent damage that NEVER goes back. Invest in sufficient structure to stop the drop.
Compliments! How fabulous to have a chest of this magnificence.
We strongly recommend that you're super careful in protecting these babies and keep them supported at all times. Sadly, this means no to flimsy, light support bras. Your ladies need only high impact support to prevent the Cooper's ligaments from stretching to no point of return.
STEP 2: SELECT YOUR ACTIVITY LEVEL
Wear what you like… you lucky thing.
You can get away with pretty, strappy bras with minimal support.
You can get away with wearing a beautiful light-support bra.
However, if there is any jiggle you need to switch it up to a medium support style. Take care, you don't want to stretch those ligaments.
You can't have everything in life and those light support bras are not for you.
They don't have the support to stop bouncing and prevent ligaments stretching. But don't worry, there are plenty of medium support bras in pretty colours that you can wear for these activities.
Seriously? Put that bra down.
You can't have everything and those light support bras are not for you. Don't be sad, you've got fantastic assets to take care of.
Stop the drop...
Choose a medium support bra to minimise any boob bounce and dreaded ligament stretch. Take your pick of colours and strappy backs, you'll struggle to choose just one.
Prevent those boobs from heading south by wearing the right level of support.
For you B/C cuppers, make sure the band is tight and snug as it provides up to 80% of your support. If you're unsure try our fit guide for extra help.
Time to stop the drop.
So for these activities we absolutely recommend you wear a high support bra. There is no point in risking permanent damage to your breast ligaments, be smart, wear high-impact support.
We don't recommend a medium support bra for your fantastic breasts.
They deserve full support at all times so a highly supportive style is best to prevent any permanent damage to your ligaments.
Don't think you need me?
Trust us they may be small, but if you don't want deflated balloons make sure you get a high support bra - we're just trying to stop the drop.
No excuses, you still need to wear a high support bra to prevent bounce.
Believe us when we say your boobs need the right support. The wrong bra means your ligaments will still stretch, and once they go they never come back.

Designed to support those assets and ensure no jiggle, whatever your workout. Make sure the underband is snug, the straps comfortable and no spillage over the sides - it's time to stop the drop.
When trying on your bra for the first time, fasten on the loosest hook as your bra will stretch over time.
It should give a snug fit around the neck and underarm edges without being too tight or gaping.
The breast should be well enclosed within the cup without bulging out over the top and not gaping at the top or sides.
Straps at the shoulders should feel comfortable and not dig into the body.
Back straps should be able to be loosened or tightened as necessary for comfort and support.
The fit should be quite firm around the body as 80% of the support comes from the underband.
All Sweaty Betty bras have been designed and engineered to give maximum support whatever the sport. We fit our bras specifically so you can wear the same size as your regular bra.
