You might have resolved to get fit and start running more, but if you’re not wearing the correct size of support bra, then you’re not doing yourself any favours. In fact, unsupported breasts during exercise can lead to irreversible breast sag and pain, according to Sweaty Betty, the stylish sportswear brand.
It doesn’t matter if your cup size is big or small; all breasts lose their shape due to there being no muscles in the breasts. Only the skin and the Coopers ligaments support the breast tissue. Once the ligaments have been stretched beyond their limit, as a result of breast movement during exercise, no amount of toning exercises can restore them.
While an everyday bra can reduce bounce by 38%, a properly fitting sports bra can reduce bounce by up to 74%, so it’s well worth getting this right. But with all these different shapes and sizes, how do you know which sports bra is the correct one for you?
