Let’s be honest - shopping for a sports bra can feel a bit overwhelming. There’s a lot to consider: support, comfort, cup size, style, how easy it is to get on and off (because who hasn’t done the post-workout wrestle?!), and whether it’ll actually hold up through movement and motherhood.
That’s why at Mama Movement, we’ve created a collection of sports bras that support you through every stage - whether you're pregnant, postpartum, running after kids or running marathons.
This guide will help you find your perfect fit based on impact level, activity, and bust support, so you can move with confidence and joy.
🧘♀️ Low-Medium Impact Sports Bras
Best for: Yoga, pilates, walks, lounging, swimming
Support level: Light
Recommended for: A–E cups
Just because a bra is low impact doesn’t mean it isn’t hard-working. Our low-medium impact crops are all about comfort. Whether you’re stretching on the mat, chasing toddlers at the park, or just want something soft for all-day wear.
✨ Ultimate Racerback Crop
Our everyday favourite. Pull-on style, wide straps, sewn-in pads, and a supportive feel without any hardware. You’ll forget you’re wearing it.
✨ Active Swim Hybrid Crop
This one’s extra clever! It doubles as a low-impact sports bra and swimwear. Chlorine and saltwater safe, quick-drying, and made for mamas who move from the gym to the pool to the playground. Perfect for A–E cups.
Why you’ll love it:
No clips, no fuss—just soft, stretchy support and joyful prints to lift your mood.
💪 Medium-High Impact Sports Bras
Best for: Strength training, pilates, weights, everyday wear
Support level: Medium-high
Recommended for: A–G cups
These bras are your go-to when you need a high level of support, without compromising on all-day comfort.
✨ Liberty Hookback Crop
Our best selling crop style! And for good reason. Super comfortable, even if you’ve got tight shoulders, thanks to the wide strap placement, which distributes weight evenly across the upper body and not just on the shoulders. The adjustable hook-and-eye back means you can tweak the fit as your body changes. Suitable for A–G cups.
✨ FlexiZip Crop II
This zip-up bra is a game changer, especially supportive for postpartum recovery or anyone who finds traditional sports bras tricky to get on and off. You can wear it open-back for lighter support, or clip it together at the back for more high intensity. Medium to high impact depending on how you wear it, suitable for A–E/F cups.
Why you’ll love it:
Supportive and adjustable. Great for days when your body feels different and you need options.
🏃♀️ High Impact Sports Bras
Best for: Running, HIIT, dance, cardio, jumping
Support level: High
Recommended for: A–G cups
If you’re doing anything that involves bounce, you’ll want a bra that holds you firmly in place without digging in or making you feel restricted.
✨ Be Free Hooked Crop
Our highest impact sports bra, hands down. Designed for runners and high-intensity movers, with a secure crossback fit, hook-and-eye closure, and wide supportive straps. Supports A–G cups with ease.
✨ Liberty Hookback Crop (again!)
Yes, she’s back - because Liberty works beautifully for both medium and high impact. It’s a favourite among runners, offering great support and exceptional comfort.
Why you’ll love it:
No bounce, no dig, just solid support and colourful joy.
🤱 Maternity & Nursing Bras
Best for: Pregnancy, nursing, postpartum
Support level: Low to medium for the Miracle Nursing Crop, medium to high for the Liberty Nursing Crop.
Recommended for: A–G cups
Mama Movement was born from a mama who wanted better. Our nursing bras are designed to feel good, look good, and make life easier.
✨ Liberty Hookback Nursing Crop
All the support and adjustability of the original Liberty, with the added bonus of discreet nursing clips and A-frame drop cups. Great for active breastfeeding mums with bigger bust sizes and who need extra support.
✨ Miracle Nursing Crop
Our softest, most gentle nursing bra. Perfect for new mums in the early days of recovery, when you need softness above all. Light support, fully adjustable straps for the ever-changing body. Can be clipped up at the back for extra support, or worn open backed for all-day comfort. Best for A–E cups.
Why you’ll love them:
Thoughtfully designed for real mum life with support that adapts to your changing body.
🎯 Why Adjustability Matters
Here’s something not everyone knows: up to 80% of a sports bra’s support comes from the underband—not the shoulder straps.
That’s why many of our crops feature adjustable back hooks -so you can fine-tune the fit as your body changes through your cycle, your workouts, and your motherhood journey.
We’re big believers in bras that move with you, not against you. Whether your bust feels fuller during your period, you're postpartum and navigating fluctuating milk supply, or you just want a little more breathing room on some days, having an adjustable bra makes all the difference.
Your body isn’t the same every day. Your bra should support you through that.
