How to find the type of your sports bra

Sports bras minimize breast movement in several ways:

  • Compression of the breast to the size of the cups A and B. They press down the breast to the chest and thus impede the movement. These bras are of two types: bra straps are suitable for women with a low or intermediate level of training; a model with a fixed backrest have a greater level of support and training suited for medium and high severity. Thin lyamochki have less support than ample.
  • Compression and encapsulation bras in sizes C and D. This combination of bra combines two methods of providing support and comfort. These bras are more supportive than compress.
  • Bras encapsulation - the best solution for the size of the cups D and DD. When encapsulation of each cup is made separately, then each breast is also maintained separately. In these bras no compression, as well as using all the encapsulation bras.
  • An alternative may be a shirt on the straps with built-in shelf bra, which provides support for training of low to moderate severity.
