What is the difference between compression and cup style bras?

Compression Vs. Cup

In a nutshell, sports bras come in two styles: Compression or Cup

Compression: A compression style bra provides maximum support for all activities for most women with A-C cup sizes, although depending on the shape of your breasts, you may find a cup style more comfortable.

Cups: A cup style sports bra is a great option for women who want a more feminine shape under their workout clothes, or for larger-breasted women. Cup styles are available, including sports bras with underwires, bras that fasten in the front or in the back, and bras that have extra padding in the straps for additional comfort.
