Does the thought of running and jumping in front of people make you shy?
Yes? You are not the only female to feel this way.
There was a time when you had to depend on your regular bra for your sports session. But gone are those days!
Your Running Bra: Things to Keep in Mind
There are a few things that you need to keep in mind before buying a running bra. You need to do a bit of research work before you finally make your purchase. The first thing that you need to keep in mind is your breast size. It is top most priority to buy the right sized bra for your sports sessions. Research has shown that a shocking 70-80% of women buy the wrong size bra!
When buying running bras for the first time, don’t hesitate to experiment with shapes and colors. If you have small breasts then you can always go for a halter type bra. They give your breast good support. Also check out the elasticity of the bra by stretching the material. This will give you an idea about the comfort level of the bra. Some bras come with a cross back which can provide extra support.
Long bras are designed to support your breasts adequately while you exercise. The elongated bottom lining supports the breasts firmly and sometimes even go down to the lower part of the rib cage to gain extra support.
Long bras also go by the name of merry widow or corset although the actual meaning of these terms refers to specific styles of lingerie.
Running Bra #1: ASICS ARD Bra
This is supposed to be the ultimate comfort sport bra. Many elite female athletes swear by this bra. The bra is moisture wicking and is made of lycra for that perfect snug fit. The flatlock stitches are of contrasting color to make the bra not only feel good, but also look good.
The Moving Comfort Moxie Shimmel is expected to become very popular. Although it is tighter on the upper part of the chest, at the midriff it eases up and provides more than enough symmetry to a broad hip. While working out sweat is being wicked away by the inner bra.
Workouts and sports that are high on the activity scale require the perfectly constructed support system of the New Balance Niva Top. The inner segment of the bra provides maximum grip without giving a sense of suffocation due to the intelligently placed elastic material, allowing the body to breathe adequately.
The Prana Sabin Racer Top is as appropriate in the gym while working out as it is underneath your cocktail dress with a deep neckline. It is made of lycra or nylon, which makes for a comfortable wear on any occasion.
