How to choose the size of women's sports bras? How to choose sports bras for big breasts

In our daily life, many people wear sports bras when exercising. It is very necessary for female friends to wear sports bras because ordinary bras cannot cover the breasts during exercise.

The size of sports bras is different from that of general underwear, and is divided into S, M, and L (i.e. small, medium, and large). Therefore, professional sports bras will indicate the size of the corresponding underwear size on the size of the sports bra. It is worth noting that the sizes of S, M, and L here will vary among different underwear brands, and the specific sizes must be compared with the underwear size comparison table provided by the merchant. In addition, you should choose sports bras according to the type of exercise you often do: indoor or outdoor, heavy or light, and decide the style and color of the sports bra accordingly. If you do more indoor exercise, choose white or light colors that are brighter; if you do more heavy exercise, choose more elastic ones that are more convenient and practical.

The main considerations are your cup size and breast shape, your exercise intensity, and the fabric design of the sports bra. Let's take a look at it step by step.

1. Confirm the cup size

First, you need to confirm your cup size. AB cups are relatively comfortable, and most sports bras can provide adequate protection for the breasts, while C+ cups require products with better support. Of course, some sports bras are classified according to S, M, L, and XL, not according to the upper and lower circumference of a girl's chest. So you must try them on to see if the upper and lower circumference are suitable, not too loose or too tight, and they must fit.

2. Choose sports bra according to exercise intensity

① Low-intensity exercise: simple fixed bra (without steel support)

For sports such as cycling, bowling, golf, walking, etc., since the intensity of the exercise is not high, you can choose a simple fixed sports bra. This kind of bra is fixed with a layer of elastic mesh fabric, with a simple structure and a cute appearance.

② Moderate-intensity exercise: the most widely used bra (without steel support)

Such as walking, climbing stairs, playing tennis and other sports, it is the most widely used bra type. It takes full account of ergonomics in its tailoring, so that the chest can be well fixed while still maintaining relative comfort.

③High-intensity exercise: bra with high support (with steel support)

For example, when playing basketball, volleyball, badminton, running and other sports, you should choose a bra with high support. When trying on a bra, you can jump a few times in the fitting room. The standard is that the bra can completely cover your breasts without any pain.

3. Purchase according to the design of the bra

After choosing a few sports bras that you like, you should also consider its fabric and design.

① Fabric: good perspiration and breathability

Regardless of what kind of exercise you do, your body will sweat more than normal, so try to choose materials that are optimized for this, such as polyester fibers (coolmax). It is not recommended to choose pure cotton fibers because they dry slowly after absorbing sweat. In addition, it should be made clear that the breathability and strength of the fabric are basically inversely proportional, that is, when you are not doing high-intensity exercise, try to choose low-impact underwear for the best comfort.

② Bottom band: Fixed webbing is wider

The bra base webbing should be wider to provide better support.

③ Shoulder straps: also need to be wider

The shoulder straps should be wide and elastic so they don't dig into your shoulders, and they should have something like cushioning at key points so that when you raise your arms, your chest won't bulge or swell.

④Padding: Yes, but not too thick

Choosing a padded bra can prevent exposure, but it is not recommended to choose one that is too thick because it is relatively difficult to sweat and squeeze the breasts.

⑤Steel ring: located above the ribs

It should rest on your ribs so it doesn't dig into your chest or underarm tissue, and that way it doesn't press against your chest or underarms.

⑥ Straps: wide and elastic

It should be made of wide elastic material that supports your chest without squeezing your back. The most important thing is to try it on! Don't be afraid of trouble or compromise. Trying it on is a very important step. You should look at your body shape from the front, back and side in the mirror, and move your body to feel whether it is comfortable and natural.

Can't you wear sports bras for a long time? Yes, wearing sports bras for a long time will compress the breasts, causing breast deformation, accessory breasts, and even breast diseases in severe cases. Wearing a sports bra during exercise can reduce the severe pain or sagging caused by breast shaking. Its shoulder straps are thinner than ordinary bras, and it has no steel rings, which can tighten the chest. Although sports bras feel similar to ordinary bras, it is not good to wear sports bras for a long time. If you wear sports bras as ordinary bras for a long time, it is not good for breast health, because sports bras fix the breasts more than ordinary bras. If you wear them for a long time, the breasts will be too tight, which will affect the blood circulation of the chest, easily causing the breasts to become loose and sagging, and even cause some breast diseases.

If you are between 15 and 25 years old, it is possible that your breasts will be deformed, because at this age the breasts are still developing, and wearing them for too long is likely to cause this. Note that you can wear them during exercise, but when you are resting, you should relax yourself and not get too tired.
