Learn how to get the right fit, understand support levels, and care for your Huit Bien-etre Sports Bra to keep it performing well and looking great.

Quick Answer

For a comfortable and supportive fit, choose your usual Huit size, but check the band and cup fit carefully because sports bras run snugger than everyday bras. Follow the care steps below to keep the OEKO-TEX certified fabric soft and supportive.

Why Fit Matters More for Sports Bras

Unlike everyday bras, sports bras need to hold everything firmly in place during movement. A band that rides up or straps that dig in mean the bra isn't doing its job. Getting the fit right isn't just about comfort—it's about protecting breast tissue from excessive bounce.

The Bien-etre Sports Bra is designed for modern, stylish sportswear, but its performance depends on a correct fit. Because it's a pullover style, you'll want to pay extra attention to the band and cup fit before you buy.

Support Levels: Not All Sports Bras Are Equal

Sports bras are generally categorized by impact level: low, medium, or high. The Bien-etre Sports Bra provides excellent bust support, making it suitable for medium-impact activities like cycling, yoga, or strength training. If you're into high-impact sports like running or HIIT, you might need a bra with more encapsulation or compression.

Consider your primary workout type when choosing. If you're unsure, think about the bounce you experience during your usual routine—that's a good indicator of the support level you need.

How to Get the Right Fit and Care for Your Sports Bra

Measure your band and cup size: Use a soft tape measure to get your underbust and bust measurements. Refer to the Huit size chart to find your starting size. Remember that sports bras often fit snugger than everyday bras, so if you're between sizes, consider sizing up in the band. Check the size chart each time you buy—sizes can vary between brands and styles.
Check the band fit: The band should sit level across your back and feel snug but not tight. You should be able to slide two fingers under the band. If the band rides up, it's too loose; if it digs in, it's too tight. The band provides about 80% of the support, so this is the most critical fit point.
Adjust the straps and check the cups: Straps should lie flat without digging into your shoulders. The cups should fully contain your breasts without spillage or gaping. Raise your arms and move around to make sure everything stays in place. If the straps slip often, the band might be too loose—tighten the band first before adjusting straps.
Wash with care: Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent, or use a lingerie bag on a gentle machine cycle. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, which can break down the elastic and fabric. Always air dry—never put your sports bra in the dryer, as heat damages elasticity.
Replace when support fades: If the band stretches out, the fabric feels loose, or the bra no longer holds you firmly during workouts, it's time to replace it. With regular wear and proper care, a sports bra typically lasts 6-12 months. Rotate between two sports bras to extend their lifespan.
