Sizing Guide
Phoenix Active Sizing: How to Pick Your Bra, Cup Group, and Swim Size
Phoenix Active sizes its bras by letter size and cup group, so a large and an extra large are built for different busts, not just bigger ones. Here is how to read the tags and choose.
Phoenix Active at a Glance
- How does Phoenix Active sizing work?
- Each bra has a letter size and a cup group on the tag, like Large A to C or XL D to DDD. Choose the letter size for your band and the group that includes your usual cup.
- Does Phoenix Active make bras for bigger cups?
- Yes. Phoenix Active cup groups go up to DDD to H in the extended sizes, so fuller busts can get a bra built for them.
- What is Phoenix Active known for?
- Strappy layering sports bras, wire free bras with lace trim, and matching swim, with features like UV protection and moisture wicking fabric.
Phoenix Active Sizes and Cup Groups
These are the size and cup combinations on the Phoenix Active tags we carry. Your letter size follows your band, and the cup group should include the cup you wear in an everyday bra.
| Tag size | Cup group | Who it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Large | A to C | Medium band, smaller to average cup |
| X-Large | D to DDD | Larger band, fuller cup |
| 2X | C to DD | Plus band, average cup |
| 1X and 2X | DDD to H | Plus band, full cup |
Pick your cup group first. A bra in the right cup group with a slightly loose band fits better than the reverse.
If your usual cup sits at the top of a group, like a C or a DDD, and you are between letter sizes, choose the size that matches your band in an everyday bra. Ask us and we will check the exact tag before it ships.

How to Get the Best Fit From a Sports Bra
A good sports bra fit comes down to four checks you can do at home.
- Check the band. It should sit level all the way around and not ride up your back when you lift your arms.
- Check the cups. No spilling over the top or sides, and no gaps at the neckline.
- Check the straps. Straps should stay put without digging in. Most support should come from the band.
- Do the jump test. Jog in place for a few seconds. If you feel too much bounce, go down a band or up a cup group.
Caring for Phoenix Active Bras and Swim
Performance fabric lasts longer when you keep heat and harsh products away from it.
- Rinse after every wear. Sweat, sunscreen, and chlorine break down stretch fibers over time.
- Wash cold on gentle. Use a lingerie bag to protect straps and lace trim.
- Skip fabric softener. It coats the fibers and reduces moisture wicking.
- Air dry only. Dryer heat breaks down elastic. Lay flat or hang to dry.
- Rotate your bras. Giving elastic a day off between wears helps it hold its shape.
