It has been scientifically proven: Breasts will sag prematurely if you do sports without giving them adequate support. This is why a sports bra, geared to the intensity of the sport, is an absolute must. Which sports bra is best for you?
Your sport: yoga, pilates, tai chi, dans, light gymnastics
Your ideal sports bra: a racerback or bra with crossed shoulder straps
Opt for a sports bra that allows you free movement, but simultaneously holds your breast firmly against your body. The material should be soft, light, flexible and preferably seamless. Tulle upper cups and shoulder straps are perfect, for example, because they feel cool and airy.
Your sport: golf, skiing, cycling, gym workout, walking, Nordic walking, dancing, inline skating, mountain climbing.
Your ideal sports bra: spacer-cups, specially developed to give the breasts more support and a beautiful shape.
For more active sports, you will need a sports bra that gives you sufficient support, preferably twice the support of a normal bra. However, the look is also important: Just because you are exercising doesn’t mean that you don’t want to look sexy and feminine, does it?
Your sport: running, jogging, tennis, football, gym workout, judo, aerobics, horse riding, step, snowboarding, kickboxing, acrobatic gymnastics, spinning, ball sports, karate.
Your ideal sports bra: sports bra with a higher centrepiece.
If you opt for these high impact sports, then you’d better wear a sports bra that gives you three times as much support as a normal bra. So choose a bra made from shock and pressure absorbing material. This bra absorbs the impact and the sophisticated fabrics keep your body dry for a long time.
