How to Choose a Sports Bra

When you exercise, it's important to keep your breasts supported. Some women will spend money on a great pair of running shoes but will skimp on a sports bra. Choosing a sports bra with good support will make your workout more comfortable so you can concentrate on your exercises and get that fabulous new body. Here's how to choose a sports bra.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. If you're large breasted, consider getting an encapsulation bra which supports the breasts better than other styles of sports bra.
2. If you're small busted, choose a compression sports bra which presses the breasts against the chest wall to support them.
3. Don't buy a sports bra online. It's important to go to the store and try on any sports bra you're considering buying. You have no way to know how a bra will feel if you buy it online or by mail.
4. Don't skimp on quality. It's important to get a high quality sports bra that will last. Don't choose one based only on price.
5. Choose a sports bra with a breathable fabric. This will help to keep you cool during your workout. A good example is a Nike's DriFit.
6. When you try on a sports bra at the store, do some of the exercises you normally perform at the gym. Does the bra feel comfortable? If not, don't waste your money.
7. Try on many sports bras before making your decision. Try on a variety of bras so you can get an idea of what a comfortable one feels like. Don't choose the first bra you try on. Selecting a good sports bra takes time.
8. Replace your sports bra every six months or so. They eventually lose their elasticity which can mean loss of support for your breasts.
