Why are sports bras important?
Exercising without the correct support, for any size breasts, will damage the skin and the ligaments. The ligaments in the breast break down which causes sagging and soreness. Your breasts don’t just bounce up and down, they move in a figure eight. Once your ligaments stretch out, they do not bounce back. Sports bras are designed to reduce this movement.
It is so important to ensure you are wearing a sports bra that will support and protect your breasts.

Taking care of your sports bra
Even if you’ve found the best sports bra ever designed, you will eventually have to let it go. Unfortunately, at some point a sports bra will lose its elasticity. However, there are ways you can lengthen its life:
- Hand wash only
- Do not use fabric softeners
- Don’t hang in sunlight to dry
A good sports bra should last six months to one year or approximately 72 washes.
