What is the importance of protecting the bust during sport?

During sports, your bust, fragile and mainly supported by the skin, is exposed to more intense stresses than usual. No matter how your cup size or age, your breasts will move and bounce. They may have to support up to 5 times their weight depending on the intensity of the activity. The sports bra offers the necessary support, comfort and protection. It protects the chest from impact, pain and premature sagging.

How do I choose between high, medium or low support?

During exercise, the breasts experience forces that stretch the skin and ligaments of the chest. Without support, the risks of pain or premature sagging are greater. Conversely, excessive support can also cause long-term damage. Adjusting the level of support of your sports bra according to your cup size and the intensity of the impact experienced is therefore essential. The goal is to protect the chest without compromising breast movement.
