FF cup is where the choice of sports bra narrows to the brands that actually engineer for a fuller bust. Full encapsulation is essential — each cup independently supported — along with a firm band and wide, cushioned straps that spread the load across the shoulders rather than digging in.
Matching the bra to the activity
High-impact styles — running, HIIT and jump-based training — use rigid encapsulated cups and a firm band; medium-impact styles suit the gym, cycling and reformer; wirefree and low-impact styles work for yoga, walking and rest days. At FF cup the band does most of the work, so it should feel firm — if the straps are taking the load, the band is too loose.
