Can sports bras be worn as ordinary underwear? Recommended sports bra brands

Many people think that sports bras are both good-looking and comfortable to wear. Can they be worn on a daily basis? Sports bras are different from ordinary bras, and long-term daily wearing may cause certain harm.

Can't.

If you wear sports bras as ordinary bras for a long time, it will be bad for breast health, because sports bras hold the breasts in place better than ordinary bras. If you wear them for a long time and they are too tight on the breasts, it will affect the blood circulation in the breasts, easily causing the breasts to become loose and sagging, and even causing some breast diseases.

1.Nike Intensity: Low Intensity Medium Intensity

Price: 200-500 yuan

Suitable size: AD (up to 75D if purchased domestically)

Recommended model: Nike Pro fierce

2. Under Armour Strength: mostly medium and low strength, with fewer high-strength styles.

Price: 300-700 yuan

Suitable for size: 70A-85E

How to buy: physical stores, Tmall flagship stores, overseas shopping. In Hong Kong, it is recommended to buy at large Gigasports, which is more cost-effective when there is a discount.

Key points: Professional, comfortable, quality is absolutely guaranteed, and overseas shopping parties can go to the counter to try it on first. UA's fabrics are really comfortable. Although there are already 3 support levels of product lines, there are fewer styles and colors, and the price is more expensive than NIKE. Many girls may have become familiar with this brand from Ode to Joy. UA is actually very famous in the United States. The UA advertisement shot by Flying Fish Phelps at that time was very touching. . Swimming is a lonely sport. I still remember this sentence. In terms of sports bras alone, I personally feel that UA is better than NIKE, and of course the price is much more expensive than NIKE. The fabric is comfortable, but there are fewer styles.

Recommended model: Armour Hign

3. Wacoal CW-X Strength: Low, medium and high strength

Price: 200-500 yuan

Suitable size: A~G cup

Purchase channels: Purchase in Hong Kong, Rakuten Japan, Amazon Japan, and Tmall overseas stores.

Key points: black technology, five-way support, good appearance, and reasonable price. The black technology of Japan is here again. In the past, there was Xu Sanduo's Anessa, which becomes stronger when exposed to sweat, and in the future, there is the five-way support of CW-X sports bra (only available in specific models). What is five-way support? It is: the built-in 5-way support strip design supports the chest in sequence according to the shaking direction during exercise, reducing the shaking amplitude, just like wrapping your hands around it, and protecting the chest stably. To put it simply and roughly, when you run, you can still feel a slight shaking of your chest, and you are not bound. However, while you feel free, your chest is protected. Isn't it amazing! Wacoal CW-X sports bras are pretty good-looking, and there are often special editions, such as starry sky models and kimono embroidery models.

The fixed support of several styles is from strong to weak: Stabilyx>Xtra Support>Support>Versatx>Mesh

Recommended: Support, Xra Support

4.VSX sport Victoria's Secret Intensity: low, medium and high intensity

Size: 32A-90E

Price: 100rmb-400rmb (overseas shopping price)

How to buy: Tmall flagship store, US official website overseas shopping. Overseas shopping prices are very different from domestic prices, overseas shopping is recommended.

Key points: A must-have for beauty lovers, the same style as goddesses. Although VS underwear is often dissed for its poor quality, the price on its US official website is really not expensive. Considering the price, I think it's okay. Although VS sports bras are not professional-grade, you can still pick out good styles if you pick carefully. And there are many styles to choose from, most of them are very good-looking. Be careful of some Taobaos that say they are purchased from Hong Kong. Victoria's Secret stores in Hong Kong do not sell underwear, do not sell underwear, do not sell underwear!

Recommended: High strength incredible, medium and low strength lightweight

What is the difference between sports bras and regular bras?

1. Difference in comfort

Sports bras look like small vests. Compared with ordinary bras, sports bras are more comfortable to wear, but they can tighten the chest like ordinary bras. Sports bras have no steel rings and the shoulder straps are much wider, so you will not feel uncomfortable when exercising.

2. Differences in design and structure

The shoulder straps of sports bras try to avoid the design of stitching lines. They are wider than those of ordinary bras to prevent rubbing shoulders during exercise and damaging joints with large range of motion. The size of sports bras is also more stylish than ordinary bras, and there are rarely hooks on the back. The biggest difference from ordinary bras is that in order to maintain breathability and facilitate perspiration, the lining and back structure of sports bras are mostly designed with breathable mesh.

3. Fabric Difference

Ordinary underwear is mostly made of pure cotton fabrics, which are highly absorbent but poor in quick-drying properties. Sports bras have high requirements for sweat absorption, so they are mostly made of polyester fabrics, which are highly absorbent and sensual.

4. Functional differences

Ordinary bras only have the function of adjusting the breast shape, making the curves look better when wearing clothes; while sports bras can not only fix the breasts and protect them from vibration injuries, but also prevent the breasts from being too large and causing inconvenience in exercise. In addition to preventing vibration, sports bras also have the functions of sweat absorption, ventilation, dehumidification and deodorization.

Things to note when choosing a sports bra

1. Be careful when choosing chemical fiber fabrics. When exercising, you sweat a lot, and there will be more friction between the body and the underwear. Chemical fiber underwear can easily hurt the skin, so you must choose carefully. In addition, although pure cotton fabrics are comfortable, they lack plasticity and elasticity, which is contrary to the concept of sports bras. Relatively speaking, cotton-blended Lycra is a good choice.

2. The elasticity of underwear is very important. When exercising, the range of motion of various parts of the body increases, so the underwear must have good elasticity. In addition, better support performance is also a factor to prevent excessive breast vibration when the body moves up and down.

3. The size should fit you well and the straps should be well fixed. When you exercise, you usually wear tights. The design of the underwear should highlight the natural curves of the human body, and the obvious outline of the underwear should not be visible from the outside of the tights. At the same time, the straps of the underwear should not slip off, so as not to cause you unnecessary trouble.
