The better sports bra

Ladies always hope that one day they can say “ta-ta!” to sports bras that allow too much bounce, chafe their skin or transform their chests into a dreaded uniboob. Two new contenders offer up wicking undergarments that promise to revolutionize what women should wear to bust a move.

Handful ($40): “Designed to flatter, not flatten,” is the vow on the packaging of the cheekily named product. And, indeed, the cups push up one’s assets – and flesh them out farther with removable inserts that can make sure no one’s merely an A. But even though there may be a hint of cleavage at the top, the fit is secure enough to avoid any fear of nip slipping. While the slim straps also make it more revealing than the typical racer-back bra, it’s not too risque to don sans T-shirt. Bonus: It comes in a mesh bag for easy laundering.

N-Fini ($25): Seamless construction equals extra comfort during sweaty workouts, and a double layer of fabric means no embarrassing bumps will be visible after your cooldown. The slim – and adjustable! – straps also hide well under street clothing, so you actually could wear one of these all day. And you just might want to.
