What is a sports bra?
A sports bra is an undergarment designed for women to wear during exercise or any physical vigorous activity. These bras are much tighter and restrictive than normal bras because they are tight, but are generally made from stretchy fabrics to allow for movement.
Why wear a sports bra?
As there are no muscles in your breasts, without good support they will bounce during exercise which is uncomfortable.
Prolonged exercise without appropriate support can also have longer term effects like a permanent droop of the bust.
To make up for this lack of natural support you should wear a sports bra.

How do sports bras work?
Sports bras work by pressing the bust close to the rib cage and reducing movement. It must have full coverage to provide the correct support.
What makes a good sports bra?
A good sports bra is made of a fabric that is both comfortable and absorbent. The inside of the bra should be smooth against your skin to reduce abrasions, no rough seams. The straps of the bra should be fairly rigid to reduce bounce. The band under the bust should be firm around your body, this will prevent the bra from riding up.
Does it fit?
As I have mentioned above a good sports bra should fit firmly under the bust to stop it riding up. In addition to this all of your bust should be in the cup with no bulges around the edges.
The shoulder straps should be tight but not to the point of digging in.
The best way to test whether a bra fits is to do the ‘bounce test’, if it feels comfortable whilst bouncing, it fits.

How long should it last?
As a general rule of thumb a sports bra should be replaced after around 100 uses, or a year. This way the elastic is sure to be in good shape.
