Buying sports bras are always a pain, but it’s important that it doesn’t become a quick errand on your to-do list. Wearing the correct style and size sports bra for your figure is as important as finding the right running shoes before a triathlon.
When you walk into the store, make sure you know your size, the length of your torso and the width of your ribcage.
First, decide what kind of activity you are searching for, is there a lot of vertical movement? Are you going running or are you going to a yoga class, for example? If you’re looking for a bra to restrict vertical movement (RVM) then make sure you read labels and find one that specializes in this.
Unfortunately, this task is not a walk in the park if you are a C cup or larger. High impact, vertical stressing activities require an encapsulating bra, giving support to your bust and RVM. An encapsulating bra manages breasts separately.
If you are an A or B cup, stiff molded cups will do the job. Another option for smaller sizes is a pullover or compression style bra, reducing bounce by totally flattening your breasts.
Why do you need to take time to get this right? Because poorly fitting sports bras are likely to cause backaches, shoulder pain and shoulder marks, and sore skin.
And remember, the average life span for a sports bra is six months to a year. When your sports bras start to wear and it looses function—replace it!
