“I do like to avoid the uni-boob look and have some type of separation when it comes to sports bras,” Associate Market Editor Reneise Francis tells us. “If there’s a lot of cardio or bouncing involved my breasts really need to be contained.

“I’m not a big girl, so my tops aren’t super technical, but I like this one because it absorbs sweat and I don’t feel like I’m working out,” says Deena Campbell, Hair & Beauty Editor. “It has moisture wicking properties so I don’t feel like I just jumped in a pool. It also feels like a custom fit and the more you wear it, the better it works for you.”

It actually makes me feel more self-conscious and instead of exercising I end up focusing on how I look,” Relationships Editor Charli Penn admits. “I like stretch pants that are super fitted and controlled, so I feel like I’m working out in Spanx—that’s always helpful.”
