How to choose your sports bras so that you don't drop anything?
Spinnin, Zumba, crossfit, running ... All these sports that make you move well, you like them. However, your chest suffers in silence, and is likely to drop everything if you continue not to care about it properly. She demands support in the face of the repeated impacts inflicted on her. So what sports bras and bras should you give her?
In the name of all breasts
Support is the basis! Yes, yes, I can already hear you say "bah obviously, pff!", But in fact, nothing less obvious.
Those who have a generous chest, generally, treat it by adopting bras which, certainly do not necessarily give super hungry to a hungry Jules, but have the merit of keeping the breasts in good place.
However, medium or even small breasts suffer ... Because you have to see the girls in the fitness room, who are jumping all over the place with the breasts that go up under their chin. Not to mention those who run with their city bra; their breasts would be enough to launch an international petition!
And without forgetting parachuting, because there is the risk of breaking the breast fiber (and once broken, it does not reconstitute) that we can talk about.
So rule number one: support for all breasts, even small ones. Otherwise, it's "washcloths" guaranteed!
Signs of good support
> To test a sports bra or bra: jump!
If your breasts wiggle up and down, forget it! Your chest must be supported, not flattened, nor too tight (so watch out for the large bulges protruding under the arms, this is a sign that it is too small). Imagine running 10 km with something that puddles and chokes you: unthinkable.
> Your bra must have a band under the chest, very close to the body, leaving no space. Be careful however that it is not too tight either. You should be able to slide your fingers there.
Take a good look at the seams and the material, because if you do sports for a long time (a tennis match that lasts forever, a run of more than an hour, fitness classes that are linked together), too basic bras can burn the skin under the breasts with repeated rubbing.
Zsport bras are designed to combine comfort, support and even thermoregulation with a band under the chest that does not irritate the skin despite friction and sweat.
> Look at the back of the cup. The best support? Crossed straps or racer back. For this, ultra pro brands like Anita are second to none. And if you have a large chest, they even think of your shoulders, which they pad the straps so that it does not saw you! So forget the spaghetti straps, not very suitable for sports.
> The cups should neither uncover your breast too much nor split it. let alone squint! If you have a smaller chest than a 90B, choose a padded model, it will be prettier.
Many sports brands such as Nike, Adidas, Under Armor and even more mainstream brands like H&M or Monoprix have very fitting models, with removable pads.
But beware of truly minimalist bras; no matter how small your breasts are, they need to be kept in place.
> An adjustable clip will allow you to perfectly adapt your model to the width of your back. I really like Moving Comfort or, which combines style and technicality, a perfect brand for a medium to large chest.
Just watch out...
It is a question of being wary of these studies which assure you that a bra, sports or not, is useless! Unless you have body-builder pectorals that would act as a natural bra, take great care of your chest, whatever its volume.
Some tests have shown a range of movement of the breasts up to 20 cm when you move a lot! Ouch! It is also estimated that the chest can undergo the pressure of a weight multiplied by 5 when you go into action.
Many ultra basic bras will just compress your chest. If you have a generous chest, you will not find any real support there. And if you have smaller breasts, you will just look like a bread board.
So large breasts must opt for a well-structured bra, the others will choose at least one pre-molded bra with real crossed straps.
Also pay attention to the frames, which must be well protected. Otherwise you would quickly end up being pierced by a whale!
Our recommendations and favorites
Sports lingerie brands compete in technicality, ok. But more and more, they deploy touches of femininity, which is not to displease us.
We will nevertheless remember for the generous breasts brands like Zsport, Shock Absorber or Thuasne, and also Anita. Colorful models with comfortable straps with impeccable support. To try is to adopt it. Small breasts will also appreciate.
For medium breasts, go for the colorful and well-thought-out models from Kalenji (neat technical details, such as the holes to wick away perspiration better), Oysho or H&M among others, which display a nice quality / price offer.
Do you have smaller breasts? You will be able to turn more to stylish models like at Fabletics, but know that even your small breasts need support. so it's not in vain to provide them with the best to avoid risking fried eggs at 40.
So promise me one thing: not to favor the look over the maintenance.
Now that you are ready, you can go and move with peace of mind. High breasts!
Testimony "My chest in an extreme situation"
It was the big day: I was going to test a free fall training in the wind tunnel! The daughters of the Ang'Elles (world champions in precision parachuting) had warned me: the chest was going to be badly manhandled. They even speak of girls who tore their breast fibers and with age, ended up with the breasts in the middle of the belly. Mmmmm, superb!
OK, you have to make sure everything stays in place.
So as much to tell you that that day, I needed an impeccable bra, not a bra that crushes the breasts as support but a sure bet. Anita was going to be my ally with the DynamiXstar model, which I like because we can attach the straps on the front (easy to attach, easy to remove especially, which is not a vain detail for a sports underwear) .
So I put on these comfortable underwear, jeans, a T-shirt, a special jumpsuit, sneakers, tied hair, I'm ready!
I enter the wind tunnel, the air blows at 180km / h minimum. You have to dive forward in the Superman-style back cladding position, then stand flat, facing the wind, raise your arms with your hands in front of your eyes. And we cover everything, thoroughly, thoroughly, thoroughly. If the position is not well maintained, we go into a spin! Truthful. Everything trembles, it blows so hard that we fly away, normal!
It lasts 2 and a half minutes. This may seem short and yet it is 150 seconds super wow.
I come out of it tested, as if I had passed through a giant washing machine! But my bra has not moved an iota. And fortunately, because the tremors have put my chest to the test. The stiffness in the pectorals of the next day will attest to this.
Suddenly, I quickly tested my sports bra in my running training, and there, the lightness, comfort and breathable materials that finished convincing me. the price is worth the candle.
One-piece swimsuits to take the plunge!
Run, you will love it!
