Apricotton Sports Bras vs Other Sports Bras

By: Lindsay Lam

Sports bras are such an awesome staple for any day! Whether you’re working out, having fun with friends, or even lounging at home, a comfortable sports bra can make a huge difference. But what type of sports bra should you get? What kind of support do you need? If these are some questions you’ve been thinking about, you’re at the right place! Let’s dive into what you should look for when shopping for sports bras, and what makes Apricotton sports bras different from other sports bras.

So what are they for? Usually designed to provide support and comfort during physical activities, sports bras can be super helpful for high-impact exercises like running and jumping. But they’re not just limited to physical activities - a comfy sports bra can offer the support you need for everyday wear, just like any other bra. If you’ve tried sports bras before, you might notice how some may be uncomfortable and even restrictive! But with Apricotton bras, we designed them with your comfort in mind, along with a simple size guide so you can find your perfect fit!

comparing Apricotton sports bras and normal sports bras

1. comfort and support

While many sports bras can be low-impact to high-impact, a big concern is usually bras being too tight and restrictive, even limiting breathing and performance in daily activities! Sports bras shouldn't be tight enough to leave marks, and straps definitely shouldn’t be digging into your back. 

We designed two sports bras, the Perfect Sports Bra and the Artemis Sports Bra to grow with you! With a super stretchy band and adjustable straps, you’ll feel so comfy wearing them. Wondering about support? We made sure the straps were slightly thicker than our other bras and made sure to have removable padding so you can always customize your level of support.

2. design and durability

If you’re really active, it’s so important that your sports bra is made with moisture-wicking materials, which helps manage sweat and keeps you feeling dry and fresh throughout the day. There aren’t many things that feel worse than wearing a cold, irritating sports bra that traps odor!! 🫣

Apricotton sports bras are made with moisture-wicking fabric that feels buttery soft at the same time! It’ll never feel too tight, and is designed to be flexible and breathable throughout your day. We took it a step further and designed our sports bras to have a criss-cross option with removable straps. That way, your sports bra can be perfectly hidden under tank tops and racerbacks!

3. shape and versatility 

Sometimes sports bras aren’t the most flattering, and necklines can be too high under different tops. It can be so annoying when your sports bra has a harsh outline and looks lumpy under your shirt too. We totally get it, and took in feedback from many girls just like you! After releasing our Perfect Sports Bra, we designed the Artemis Sports Bra to have a lower neckline. Whether you’re a dancer looking for a bra that hides under your leotard, or simply a fan of lower necklines, the Artemis Sports Bra is perfect for all your needs.
