Did you know that 60-80% of women wear the wrong size bra - are you one of these women? Life and body changes like weight loss or gain, pregnancy and breast feeding are just a few of the factors that may change your breast shape and size.

Did you also know that:

• There are two essential pieces of equipment for women: 1. Sports Bras 2. Shoes;
• Women should be fit for a bra at least once a year;
• The average life span of a sports bra is 6-12 months; and
• Not all bras are created equal. There are three main categories of bras - compression, compression/encapsulation & complete encapsulation. Getting fit properly will help you to determine which type is best for you.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD SPORTS BRA?

Support 
If you're a small- or medium-breasted woman (A to B cup), a compression style bra will offer support and comfort. Or if you prefer, you can choose a bra that offers encapsulation for shaping as well as support.
 
If you're a larger-breasted woman (C to DD cup) you may find encapsulating styles that separate and support your breasts more comfortable and more supportive than compression bras. For maximum support, choose a sports bra that does both.
 
Also, different activities result in different degrees of movement. The higher the impact level, the more support you'll need.
 
Comfort
Try on different styles to find out what you like best. A good sport bra should feel comfortable, stay in place, and not chafe. The straps should not dig into the shoulders and the band around the lower chest should not shift or bind.
 
Do jumping jacks, run in place and swing your arms side to side to make sure what feels good is comfortable and supportive when you're in motion. Keep in mind that a good sports bra should fit more snugly than a lingerie bra to provide you with support, but should not be uncomfortable or restrict movement or breathing.

Moisture Control and Breathability
A good sports bra will wick sweat away from the skin and then dry quickly. It will be breathable, allowing perspiration and excess heat to pass through. A good sports bra will keep you cool and dry when it's hot, and dry and warm when it's cold.
