While most sports bras compress to hold you in, the best padded push-up sports bras give you lift while also providing support. But, when shoppingfor any bras online, there's a lot to consider.
Before you buy, hone in on which style is right for you. For example, if you know you like the way a traditional racerback sports bra holds you in, there's no reason why you can't opt for the same style, only with extra padding. Or if you tend to trend toward more traditional style bras (think narrow straps and a back claps), there are plenty of similar moisture-wicking sports bras with padding to keep you supported and cool.
Another strategy is to check out the reviews. When it comes to clothing, reviewers have no qualms about laying out all the perks and downfalls of their purchases. Be on the lookout for comments about the overall fit of a push-up sports bra, especially when it comes to the padding. You don't want the extra padding to alter how it holds you in or, worse, to shift while you're exercising.
Since there are so many choices out there, it can be hard to find the best padded sports bra for you. Here's a round-up up of some of the best options out there that are reviewer approved.
