The modern bra is often used to amplify a particular look. If you have an active lifestyle full of sports, it should also play a critical role in providing you with plenty of support. If it does not, you can do a lot of damage.

Let me be brutally honest. If you participate in sports, you need to wear a sports bra. If you do not, you risk doing major long term damage to yourself. Studies have shown running can result in five or more inches of bouncing for breasts after all.

Of course, things do not move just up and down. They also move to the left and right as well as in other directions. Exercise is great. That being said, what is the benefit of helping one part of your body while damaging another area?

Your girls are delicate when it comes to support. Think about how they are supported. The primary mechanism is not muscle, but ligament. Ligament stretches, which should be all I really have to say. Picture yourself 10 years down the line.

I will be honest. The average sports bra is not going to set the world on fire from a fashion point of view. In truth, you really should not care. Play hard and party hard, but do them different. Sports bras are for playing hard and seductive bras are for the remainder of the day.

For the longest of times, there was only one sports bra. It was known as the compression sports bra and worked pretty well. In recent times, the encapsulation bra has come on the scene and is receiving good reviews.

The compression bra is the time tested answer for most women. As the name suggests, it works by compressing the breast against the chest. This effectively works to eliminate the bouncing of the breast, but does tend to flatten the chest.

The compression sports bra has not always worked well for well endowed women. The newer encapsulation bra was designed as an alternative. It works by providing maximum cup support to each breast, but lets them move independently for less of a smushed feeling.

Unlike many issues with bras, the choice between these two breaks down pretty cleanly. If you have a C cup or larger, try the encapsulation sports bra. If you are smaller, go with the compression version.

The sports bra has not really changed all that much since it was first created, the encapsulation cup notwithstanding. The issue is not so much which version you wear as it is whether you wear one or not. You would be crazy not to.
