Ladies, when you are out about running, skating or performing other vigorous activities do you ever get the big bounce? You know, that lovely feeling of wondering whether or not you should have actually bothered to put on the bra seeing as it works so poorly. If you are lucky enough to have no clue what I am talking about, be thankful. But you may have seen some other unlucky ladies. For some it is that lovely up and down motion like two basketballs bouncing in unison. For others, it is more like ?the rainbow? ride you see at amusement parks: the two volumous chest features do a low sing to the left and then swing up and around over and over again. So what to do with this predicament?
Well for starters, if this is happening to you, you need a new bra. Do not just wrap duct tape around the old one to hold you still. You take good care of your skates, and you make a point of keeping the blades sharpened, so why neglect other components of your uniform?
A good sports bra should give you full coverage. All of your breast tissue should be in it. This means, no overhang: no ?double boob? and nothing squishing out into your underarms. If any of this is happening to you, you need to get into a larger cup size. If you are slipping out the bottom, the band size is too large. If the bra seems to tip forward, revealing a lot of cleavage, the cup size is too small. There should be no cleavage in a sports bra ? even if you are a G or H cup. As for the back of the bra there should be good coverage there too. There should be 3 or 4 hooks in the back and you should feel like your bra is wrapped around you. The shoulder straps should be thick and wide and should not slip off you shoulders when you bend to one side or another. Also, there should not be a lot of stretch in the shoulder strap, as this will reduce the amount of support the bra gives. Do the bounce test in the change room. You need to jump up in down when you are trying it on, as well as crouch, bend over and sit down. It you do not move around in the change room, how can you possibly know if the bra is going to work in the real world?
Do not be shy to try a smaller band size with a larger cup. In regular bras this is the single biggest error ladies make. In sports bras, it is actually common for ladies to do this for added support around rib cage. In an everyday bra, it is not the straps that keep a bra on, but the band, which keeps the bra secure. The straps keep the top of the cup in place. If a bra were a house the band would be the foundation and the straps would be the roof. In a sports bra, it is a little more of a balance between the two, but the principle is still the same.
Just remember ladies; you only get one set of breasts naturally. You best take care of them! - 30194
