BRA-NECESSITIES
Choosing the right support for all shapes, sizes and types of
activities
Many of us don't realize the importance having a good support
system until it's too late: The sports bra.
With a lifetime in the fitness industry, numerous industry
colleagues and students in the past years have approached me
with burns, marks and cuts from straps, the type of material or
mere design of the bras they work out in. The common question I
am approached with, "What kind of sports bra do you wear?"
The following is a checklist to aid in choosing an athletic
support top that will allow people to run, jump, cycle, lift,
step, jab, kick and more without the usual and sometimes
embarrassing unnecessary comforts one gets from the wrong sports
top
STRAPS
Straps should be snug but not restrictive with sufficient
padding. Larger breasted women usually prefer racerbacks or
T-backs because they offer more support. Adjustable straps are a
growing trend. They allow you to adapt the support of the bra to
suit different activities from lifting weights in a gym, running
outside or Turbo Jam™ at home.
STYLES
Encapsulation bras have molded cups or built-in liners.
Compression bras press the breasts against the body. While A-
and B-cup athletes can wear both kinds, larger-breasted women
typically prefer encapsulation styles.
FABRIC
Look for moisture-wicking fabrics. These are typically a blend
of cotton and synthetic fibers--cotton for softness and
synthetic for dryness. Many athletic designers and brands have
developed lines of 'friction-free' bras with special fabrics
sewn into areas prone to chafing like around the nipples, over
closures and around straps systems such as "CoolMax" linings
that whisk moisture away from the skin.
ARMHOLES
Armholes should allow for a full range of movement in all
directions without pinching underneath. There should also be no
"spillage" out of the armholes.
THE GORE
This refers to the front of the bra, how high it rises from the
bust to the neck. Generally, as a woman's bust size goes up, so
should the gore. The key is to have full support and to prevent
portions of the breast from "spilling" over.
CLASPS AND CLOSURES
All seams, hooks, clasps and underwires should be covered with a
soft, moisture-wicking fabric. To avoid severe chaffing,
endurance athletes should look for bras that are seamless. These
are mostly made with a circular knit, eliminating most of the
panel seams.
Now that you know what to look for... trying them on is the next
step. It's time to go shopping and you'll find most tops are not
to heavy on the pocket book, ranging around $40 dollars.
Additionally, the following links are helpful "support groups."

Racerback $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A racerback is a type of womens swimsuit design common today among competitive swimwear and incorporated into some types of womens clothing. The topback of the swimsuit is not covered to provide flexibility and movement of the arms during swimming. The racerback was first developed in 1928 by the Speedo company to give athlete swimmers greater flexibility and movement.This swimwear is designed to allow swimmer to be able to move their arms and to create a better stroke technique. A swimsuit, bathing suit, togs or swimming costume is an item of clothing designed to be worn while participating in water sports and activities such as swimming, water polo, diving, surfing, water skiing, or for any activity in the sun, such as sun bathing. It is also used as an undergarment in sports that require a wetsuit such as waterskiing, scuba diving, surfing, and wakeboarding. In New Zealand English and some areas of Australian English, swimsuits are usually called togs or bathers. The term togs is less common in other parts of the Commonwealth, where it can also refer to clothes in general. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.
