Choosing Your Sports Bra
Women’s sports bras have evolved from the chest bindings that were often used before to keep breasts from bouncing when exercising or doing strenuous activities. Instead of compression, modern sports bras put emphasis on shaping and support. Style is also an important factor since sports bras are often worn as a top during workouts or used as an alternative for regular or leisure bras.
