The best organic cotton sports bras on Amazon

We know that organic cotton is much better for your health and for the planet. But most sports bras are made of synthetic material in the name of performance.

Well, these sports bras are made of organic cotton and perform just as well as so-called ‘high performance sports bras’.

Best overall organic cotton sports bra: Satva Nanda Bra

Check it out on Amazon

Why I love the Satva Nanda Bra

  • made of GOTS-certified organic cotton that is super soft and stretchable
  • addition of 5% Lycra gives it sweat-wicking properties and shape retention
  • has removable cup pads – you can use them for shape and fuller coverage but remove them for comfort
  • double-layered organic cotton lining
  • wireless but has thick straps and under-bust band for great support
  • hypoallergenic, suitable for sensitive skin
  • you can try it for free with Amazon Prime Wardrobe

What I don’t like about it

  • criss-cross straps at the back can be confusing to wear at first
  • pull-on style so it’s not for women who have difficulties with raising their arms
  • not supportive enough for high-impact exercises

Who is it for

  • women who are looking for a comfy organic sports bra for yoga, walking and other low-impact activities
  • can also be worn as an ‘everyday bra’ for running errands and lounging
  • it’s a full coverage sports bra that is great for women with larger breasts

Satva is an ethical fashion brand who grows their own organic cotton. Read my Satva review.

Most versatile organic cotton sports bra: Majamas Organic Buxom Bra

Check it out on Amazon

Why I love the Majamas Buxom Bra

  • it’s not just a sports bra, but can also be used as a sleep bra, during pregnancy, breastfeeding and post-breast surgery.
  • made of super comfy GOTS-certified organic cotton
  • unlined and wire-free but has thick straps and a thick under-bust band for support
  • no hooks or clasps to dig into skin
  • hypoallergenic material for sensitive skin
  • made locally in U.S.A

What I don’t like about it

  • don’t separate larger breasts well causing uni-boobs
  • straps not adjustable and is on the long side – not good for petite women
  • sizes run small
  • has an irritating label sewn into the seam that can’t be cut off fully
  • not supportive enough for high impact exercises

Who is it for

  • women looking for a multi-purpose bra for sleep, lounging and low-impact exercises

Best organic cotton longline sports bra: Satva Yoga Crop Top

Check it out on Amazon

Why I love the Satva Yoga Crop Top

  • made of GOTS-certified organic cotton
  • it’s longline gives more coverage and can be worn as a crop top
  • removable cup padding
  • organic cotton lining for breathability throughout
  • double layered fabric for extra support
  • you can try it for free on Amazon Prime Wardrobe

What I don’t like about it

  • pull over design not suitable for women with difficulties raising their arms
  • it’s full coverage and then some – on warm days, it’s too much material for a bra (unless I wear it by itself as a crop top)

Who is it for

  • women with large breasts

Best budget organic cotton sports bra: Danish Endurance Stretch Bra

Check it out on Amazon

Why I love the Danish Endurance Stretch Bra

  • excellent value-for-money
  • made from organic cotton and is OEKO-TEX certified to contain no harmful chemicals
  • designed in Denmark in collaboration with Olympic athletes
  • tag-free elastic band prevents skin irritation
  • quick-drying and moisture-wicking

What I don’t like about it

  • it’s not padded so my nipples show through tight tops
  • sizes run small
  • straps run long and are not adjustable
  • low-cut front – doesn’t stop boob bounce, especially with larger breasts

Who is it for

  • women looking for a great value-for-money organic cotton sports bra option and don’t mind tailoring it to fit

To wrap up

It’s a shame that there are not more organic cotton sports bra options, especially for high impact exercises and women with larger breasts. However, for most women, the Satva Nanda Bra ticks all the boxes – it’s affordable, comfortable and supportive. If you don’t want to spend too much, the Danish Endurance Stretch Bra is definitely worth a try.
