    FAQs

    Encapsulation vs compression?

    Encapsulation = each breast in its own cup (like a regular bra). Compression = flattens against chest. D+ needs encapsulation + compression hybrid; pure compression flattens but doesn't isolate.

    Layered top + sports bra?

    Yes. Most heavy-chest active women double-layer: high-impact bra + supportive tank or athletic top. Two layers isolate motion further.
