Get (and Give!) Support in the Handful Y-Back Sports Bra
Handful activewear has high-impact bras that empower breast cancer fighters and survivors.
The Right Bra For: C/D cups
Price: $56
Since 2006, Handful activewear has been all about support—in two different ways. The first is by designing high-impact sports bras suitable for larger cup sizes. The second is the brand’s backing for a truly awesome cause—helping breast cancer fighters and survivors. And the Y-back is a perfect example of how it’s done. Not only does the bra offer support for D-cup runners, but the brand also offers breast cancer survivors a lifetime 30% discount on all its apparel.
Supportive Simplicity
One of our favorite things about the Y-back is its simplicity. The bra has no clasps or adjustments, but still offers D-cup approved support with a super wide and sturdy bottom band and a little squeeze of compression. Cinching in the front, the bra keeps your breasts separated as you stride, and the sweat-wicking spandex-blend fabric offers just enough snugness to control bounce. Plus, the Y-back’s straps sit high and flat on the shoulders for a relaxed, comfy fit, with little chance of chafing.
Standout Style
Removable “Lights-Out” liners mean the Y-back has you covered, even on your shirtless runs, and offer a little extra padding than your average modesty inserts. (Handful also offers additional sets free of charge to any survivors wishing to use them as an everyday prosthetic.) Spin the bra around and you’ll catch two more sweet details: the reflective logo for staying seen on late-night jaunts, and the stylish crotched pattern that covers the full-length of the straps. Right now, you can grab the Y-back in awesome prints like Off-the-Grid (shown), Get After it Green, and Can’t be Beet.
What Our Testers Thought
Our wear-testers pegged the Y-back’s support as its shining feature. One D-cup tester said that she felt completely secure with hardly any bounce for her entire run. Plus, she especially liked the bra’s Light’s Out padding. "I felt like a buxom badass with the bra on, and liked the style of the straps,” she said.
The only drawback was that the wide bottom band felt a little tight and constricting to some testers, who would have liked a little more stretch and breathability.
NOTE TO OUR READERS: We are adjusting the waistband a smidge, and we'll keep you posted on product updates.
Is this D cup bra really considered a “larger cup” size?? Are you going to be making bras for Handful + gals? I need an H cup! Even though the girls are large, we still want cute bras.
