Great article about the realities of sports bras

Mom to the Screaming Masses: Sports Bras and Me
http://momtothescreamingmasses.typepad.com/mom_to_the_screaming_mass/2012/02/sports-bras-and-me.html

This topic is really only of interest to the female crowd. That’s not to say that I would discourage any male readers - but, you know, you might be WAY more comfortable coming on back tomorrow. This is a discussion of boobies, yes, to be sure - but I will venture to say it’s NOT scintillating in any way, shape or form. :)

I have a love/hate relationship with work out bras. I love them for what they do - if they are utilized correctly, they reduce or even eliminate bounce, making the wearer far more comfortable as she goes about her exercise. Especially if she’s doing something high impact - I’ve been known to scream (in my car, only in my car, and not at random women running down the street) “For the love of God, get a supportive bra on! It hurts just to watch you run!!”

Scientists say that sports bras are good for you!

Errrr, really?
Three Benefits Sports Bras Offer Female Athletes | Neurological ...
http://www.theneuroassociates.com/three-benefits-sports-bras-offer-female-athletes/

By wearing a comfortable sports bra during physical activity, female athletes can protect themselves from unnecessary back pain. When females run or engage in physical activity, the breasts will often bounce. This can place excessive strain on certain back muscles. If a sports bra is present to properly support the breasts and keep them from moving, back pain and back injury can effectively be avoided. A sports bra can also help female athletes maintain better posture, which is highly effective at decreasing back pain and muscle spasms.

Many sports bras are designed with smaller chested women in mind and may lack the features a larger busted woman needs when she’s working out. Sports bras don’t have to be uncomfortable or too tight.

Travelling sports bra

Just goes to show that sports bras are not just needed in the gym


Sports bra - Lonely Planet travel forum
http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/thread.jspa?threadID=2159253

To my great dismay my ancient Shockabsorber sports bra broke (metal hook snapped off) this morning. I feared it was on it’s way out being ancient sort of gave that away. So I’ve already been to several sports shops but all they seem to sell are those sports bra you pull over your head. Not only is that contraption hideous to get on/off but I’ve yet to find one that provide appropriate anti-bounce measurement (I had several before I found the Shockabsorber).

So to save me the pain of having to go in and ask in every single shop - is there a brand (sold in Australia) that have a sports bra that you put on like a normal bra, ie with hooks on the back (well on the side a bit to be precise to avoid hurting if you do sit-ups)?
Travellers are simply pretentious tourists…
