Sports Bras for Women

Being a fitness enthusiast or a professional sportswoman and athlete means paying special attention to your breasts. Since there are no muscles in the breast, the structure of your breasts changes over time as your body fat percentage changes. Without proper support, your breast tissues can lose their elasticity over time and start to sag. If you are a physically active woman, a sports bra should be a must-have in your wardrobe. A good womens sports bra helps reduce the effect of gravity on your breasts and restricts the movement of your breasts to provide comfortable support and prevent your breasts from hurting during extreme physical workout. Whether you are doing a low-impact activity like yoga or pilates or indulging in high-intensity workouts like HIIT or running, a good sports bra is essential gym wear that provides relief from discomfort and also protects your breast tissues

A sports bra encapsulates your breasts to alleviate discomfort during high-intensity activities. It comes with moulded cups to fit around each breast, making it sturdier as compared to the regular bras.

How to Choose the Right Sports Bra?

When you pick a sports bra, it should feel slightly snuggled to you like your regular bra, but you should be able to breathe comfortably. Here are some tips for finding out the right sports bra for you.

1. Band Fitting

   It is the band of a sports bra that does the majority of the work in supporting your breasts. So make sure it sits right around your rib cage. You should be able to slip in two fingers between the band and your body.

2. Adjustment of Straps

   The straps should feel comfortable and exert minimal stress as you reach up and down. Like bands, you should be able to place two fingers in between your shoulders and straps. You can also look for adjustable straps which provide a custom fit and better support.

3. Check the Cup Size

   Your breasts should be fully encapsulated in the cups and should be centred. In case you see any wrinkles in the fabric, the cups may be big for you. If you see your breasts moving outside the bra, the cups are too small, or the bra style doesn’t match your breast type.

4. Test the Support

   As you may undertake any physical activity, your bra should support running or jumping. If you feel too much movement from side to side or an up and down movement, look for a bra which offers a better fit.

5. Dealing with Chafing

   When your bra rubs your skin, the friction creates chafing. To prevent the rubbing, make sure to have a soft band and a fitting bra. Check out the women sports bra available at Zivame.
