What makes a good sports bra?

The wrong sports bra can cause unpleasant side effects. Examples include back, head and neck pain, shortness of breath, drooping breasts or irritated skin. To prevent these complaints it is important to choose the right sports bra. But what makes a good sports bra? What conditions does it have to meet? And why is wearing a sports bra even more important? You can read more about it in the following blog.

Provides support

A normal bra absorbs about 35% of all shocks. A sports bra absorbs as much as 75% to 80% of shocks. In a sports bra, there is no underwire and the fabric is made of sturdy materials. The material and larger bra straps allow the breasts to move well with the body. This leads to a reduction in pain and other physical damage. Because the breasts bounce less, there is less chance that the skin will be stretched and that breasts will droop.

Resistant to sweating

Another function of a sports bra has to do with the wicking of sweat. Sports bras are produced from breathable and tear-resistant material that absorbs sweat and repels moisture from the outside.

Every body is different

What is comfortable or fits perfectly for one person does not automatically have to be so for another. Every body is unique and requires a different kind of comfort. It is therefore important to look at what your body needs and how intensively you exercise. Choosing the right size plays a big role in making a good sports bra and contributes positively to the wearing com

fort. A sports bra should fit snugly so that the breasts remain in place during movement. This supporting function should not be lost. So don't be alarmed if a sports bra feels a bit tight. Do not buy a sports bra that is too small. This causes pain and pinching. Do you exercise a lot and intensively? Then you probably need a different type of sports bra than someone who does little and low intensity sports like yoga or pilates.
