50 Bra-lliant Questions You Never Knew You Had (But Totally Do)

1. How many bras should I actually own?
The bare minimum? Three. The dream? One for every mood, outfit, and spontaneous pickleball match. At least have a black, a nude (that matches YOUR skin tone), and a sports bra that doesn’t double as a medieval torture device.

2. Do I have to wear a bra?
Nope! Your boobs, your rules. But if gravity's been winning lately, a supportive bra can be your BFF.

3. Why do sports bras feel like they're trying to kill me?
Because you haven't met the ONE yet — it's like a bear hug but without the crushing part. Supportive? Yes. Life-changing? Absolutely.

4. What’s the deal with underwires?
Love 'em or hate 'em, underwires are like that friend who lifts you up but sometimes crosses boundaries (literally). If it’s stabbing you, it’s not you — it’s the bra.

5. Can I wear my sports bra all day?
Hell yes! Sports bras have come a long way — they're not just for the gym anymore. Many now offer great shape, awesome support, and breathable fabrics, making them perfect for all-day wear. If it feels comfy and keeps the girls lifted and happy, go ahead and rock it from sunrise to sunset!

6. Why do my straps keep falling down?
Are they loose? Are your shoulders sloped? Or is the bra just being rebellious? Try tightening or go for a racerback style. Or you know… duct tape (just kidding, please don’t).

7. How often should I wash my bras?
After 2-3 wears. But hey, no judgment — we know there’s that one sports bra doing full-time duty in your gym bag.

8. Why does my band ride up my back?
It’s throwing in the towel. Your band’s too loose. Size down or consider a more supportive option (hello, ENELL!).

9. Can wearing the wrong bra size ruin my life?
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Yes, and your posture, mood, and possibly your will to work out. Let’s get you fitted properly.

10. Is it bad that my bra leaves marks?
A little mark? Normal. Deep, angry welts? That bra is not your friend.

11. What's a sister size, and does she have better bras?
Nope, but sister sizes (like 36C and 34D) can help you find that perfect fit when your “usual” size feels off.

12. Do sports bras really stop bounce?
The good ones do. And at SPORTSBRAS.CA, we only sell the MVPs of bounce control. Less jiggle, more giggle.

13. Should bras be uncomfortable?
Repeat after me: NO. Bras should support you, not make you question your life choices. (ok well maybe a little when they're new!)

14. How can I tell if my sports bra is supportive enough?
Jump up and down. If you get slapped in the face, it's time for an upgrade.

15. How long should a bra last?
About 1 year if treated right. That means no dryer, no daily wear, and definitely no loaning it to your sister.

16. Is going braless better for my boobs?
The great debate. It’s all about what feels good for YOU. Though some say freedom feels like heaven.

17. Can I wear the same bra every day?
Only if you want it to age like a banana. Bras need rest days too.

18. Why do my boobs spill over my bra?
Your cups are too small. Or your boobs just really want to say hi.

19. What’s the scoop-and-swoop method?
The secret handshake of the bra world. Bend forward, scoop all your tissue into the cups, and swoop those babies into place. Magic.

20. Do padded bras make my boobs look bigger?
No, except for our Handful bras, which add extra oomph. Our other padded bras simply give you a smoother, more flattering shape.

21. Why does my sports bra feel like armor?
Because someone designed it for battle, not pickleball. Let’s fix that.

22. What’s the best bra for big boobs and high-impact workouts?
Whispers softly ENELL SPORTS bra. The holy grail of no-bounce.

23. Can I machine wash my bras?
Yes, but always hook the bra first to avoid snags, then toss it in a lingerie bag and use cold water. Your bras deserve spa treatment, not a rough rollercoaster ride!

24. Is it weird that my boobs are two different sizes?
Totally normal — they’re sisters, not twins. Fit the bigger boob so she doesn’t stage a great escape, and pad the smaller one if she feels left out!

25. Why do my boobs hurt after wearing a sports bra?
Probably too tight or the wrong style. Your sports bra should hug, not suffocate.

26. Can I sleep in a bra?
Nope, and you really shouldn’t. Research shows that sleeping in a bra can increase your chances of breast cancer. But if you absolutely must keep the girls in check overnight, go for something super loose and wire-free — think more “gentle hug” than “boob prison.”

27. Why do underwires poke me?
Either the bra is too small, or it’s poorly made. At SPORTSBRAS.CA, we’re all about no-poke zones.

28. What’s the best way to store bras?
Line them up like royalty — no folding cups in half! Especially molded bras — they hate that.

29. Are front-closure sports bras available?

Absolutely! Our best-seller, the ENELL Sports Bra, features a front closure for easy on-and-off, maximum support, and zero wrestling matches with your bra.

30. What’s the deal with wireless bras?
Who needs wires poking around when you can have comfort and support? Wires don’t actually do the heavy lifting — they’re just there for shaping. And guess what? Our most supportive sports bra is wireless! Yep, ultimate support without a single piece of metal.

31. Can I wear a sports bra as a regular bra?

Absolutely! Modern women rock sports bras as everyday wear because they’ve come a long way since the first design (which was literally two jockstraps sewn together — no joke!). Now, they offer great support, amazing shape, and look fantastic while doing it.

32. Why do my boobs sweat so much?
Because your boobs are overachievers when it comes to turning up the heat. . But don’t sweat it — opt for moisture-wicking sports bras. Our Anita line has amazing lightweight, wicking bras that keep you cool, dry, and swamp-free all day long!

33. Should I wear a bra during pregnancy?
Absolutely! Support is key. Soft, stretchy bras that grow with your girls are a lifesaver. And when baby arrives, we’ve got you covered with comfy, supportive Maternity sports bras too — because moms deserve all the support!

34. What’s the difference between high-impact and low-impact sports bras?
Think of it like this: yoga = low impact. Jumping jacks = high impact (and high bounce potential). Choose accordingly.

35. Are strapless bras really the work of the devil?
Oh, absolutely — when it comes to sports bras, strapless just doesn’t exist. It’s like trying to run a marathon in flip-flops — sounds fun in theory, but a total disaster in practice.

36. Why do my nipples show through my sports bra?
Because not all nipples are created equal — and some love to make a surprise appearance, especially during a good ol’ Canadian winter! It’s usually due to thin fabric or no padding. Opt for lightly padded bras for smooth coverage, or try our silicone nipple covers when the girls are feeling extra bold in the cold or at the gym

37. How do I find my perfect bra size?
Start by sneaking a peek at the tag on your best-fitting bra — it’s like your personal cheat code. Still unsure? Take our super easy (and actually fun) e-fitting quiz or book a fitting with one of our bra gurus, in person or online. No scary measuring tapes or complicated math — just good vibes and the perfect fit!

38. Can a bra actually improve my posture?
Oh, heck yes! Our ENELL bra is like having a personal trainer for your back. With its incredible large back support, it pulls your shoulders back, straightens you up, and makes you feel like a superhero — all while keeping the girls in check. It’s perfect for running, horseback riding, or just strutting through life like the confident queen you are!

39. Is it okay to double up on sports bras for extra support?
Sure, but it’s like wearing two pairs of socks — why not just get one that does the job right?

40. Why do my straps dig into my shoulders?
Your band isn’t pulling its weight. Most support should come from the band, not the straps.

41. What bra color works under white shirts?
Nude (the one that matches your skin tone). Surprisingly, white bras show through more.

42. Why does my bra gape at the top?
Because the cups are too big or the style isn’t vibing with your breast shape. It might seem like a handy spot to stash your phone, but we’ve got a better idea — try  a pair of our Panache tights with a built-in cell pocket. Your phone will thank you, and so will your boobs!

43. Can a sports bra flatten my boobs?
Yep — compression styles do. If you want lift and separation, go for encapsulation sports bras.

44. What’s better: molded or seamed cups?
Molded cups give a smooth look. Seamed cups offer more structure and support. Your call.

45. Do wireless bras offer enough support?
Yes, absolutely! In fact, our most supportive bra is wireless. With wide bands and smart design, you can get all the lift and hold you need — no wires, no poking, just pure, bounce-proof comfort.

46. Why does my bra band dig in?
It could be too small, or maybe you’ve been enjoying the snack drawer a little extra lately (no judgment — we’ve all been there). But sometimes, it’s just a poorly made bra with flimsy materials. Try a looser band, a bra extender, or better yet, treat yourself to a quality bra that hugs without squeezing. Your ribs will thank you!

47. Can a sports bra be sexy?
Hell yes! Function and fashion CAN be friends.

48. Why does my bra give me back fat?
Because it’s either too tight, the band isn’t wide enough, or your bra is just plain rude. Opt for a wider, more supportive band that smooths things out instead of squeezing everything in. The right bra should lift your spirits — not your back rolls!

49. Should I wear a bra when working from home?
Yes! As far as we're concerned, you should always wear a sports bra — because comfort and support are a match made in heaven. But hey, if you feel like letting the girls roam free, we get it. After all, no one on Zoom needs to know what’s going on under the hoodie!
