Sport bras

A sports bra is a bra that provides additional support to female breasts during physical exercise. Sturdier than typical bras, they minimize breast movement, alleviate discomfort, and reduce potential damage to chest ligaments.

However, sport bras don't need to be necessarily worn just for sport. Talk to the mother of three small children about her day and you will see than she has a lot of physical activity during her day and a good sport bra could be a really good option to support her breasts during the day.

Doing an exercise without a proper sport bra can cause breast pain, especially for larger breasts. Sport bra supports the breasts and minimizes breast movement during exercise. This prevents one important thing - the fear for most women - which is sagging breasts. Remember that even small breasts are moving during physical activity and its moving with no support can damage ligament of the breasts and cause sagging breasts.

Also, the sport bra needs to be worn in the correct size. Here again is very important tight band, but also the size of the cups. If you have a sport bra with too large band, or worse, also with small cups, it is more or less useless. The sport bra should have a bit wider straps than regular bra. Therefore, you should not use bras like 'lambada' for exercise, because the absolutely doesn't fulfill the support function of the breasts!
