Busting those Sports Bra Myths
Here at boobydoo we have over 15 years of sports bra experience making us the UK’s leading experts! Our aim is to make sure every woman has a perfect fitting sports bra that is right for her activity. Today we’re tapping into our expert knowledge and busting some of those myths around sports bras.
‘I wear the same sports bra for every activity.’
What the experts say: different sports bras offer different levels of impact support, so the sports bra you wear for yoga might not give you the correct level of support you need for running! Use our Shop by Activity menu to find top results for you.
‘I’ve been wearing the same sports bra for three years and it still works’
What the experts say: although there’s not a solid expiry date on any bra, in general we’d suggest changing your sports bra every 6 – 12 months so that you can get the right support for your activity.
‘My sports bra should feel tight for support’
What the experts say: Your sports bra should be firm fitting but not too tight that it is difficult to fasten or there is excess skin hanging out of the band. If this is the case then we would recommend going up a band size (remember: if you do this, go down a cup size).
‘I only have small boobs, I don’t need a sports bra!’
What the experts say: when unsupported an A Cup can bounce up to 4cm and a G Cup up to 14cm! A sports bra is a technical piece of underwear that protects your breasts and improves your performance and comfort during exercise no matter your size!
