Shape+ Women's Fitness Sports Bra - Black

This Shape+ sports bra with superior support* is suitable for high-impact fitness activities (step, trampoline, treadmill running, etc.).The full-cup style keeps you feeling confident while the technical design means you can wear it by itself. The muscle back is adjustable and has technical, ventilated fabric for moisture management. The non-wired design with built-in padding feels like a second skin*Reduces impacts by 42% compared to a regular bra when doing high-impact activities

When working out, your breasts are put through more stress and impacts than during your daily activities. Your breasts can weigh three to five times more than their usual weight, depending on the level of intensity of your workout and the impacts.However, plenty of women do sport with a regular everyday bra that provides insufficient support. A sports bra limits movement and impacts on the breasts.

Whatever your bust size, movements and impacts stretch the skin and ligaments, and without proper support, you might feel pain and your breasts might undergo premature sagging.And yet, too much support can also be detrimental in the long term: it must be perfectly suited to your bust size and the intensity of the impacts.The aim is to protect your bust without altering natural breast movement.

Find the model with the right level of support suitable for your sports activity:- low- (yoga, stretching, muscle strengthening, etc.),- medium- (fitness dance, cardio training)- or high-impact (step, treadmill, trampoline, etc.).We recommend you match the level of bust support to your sport/fitness activity. For example, don't wear a sports bra designed for high-impact sports if it isn't needed, but protect your bust whilst maintaining as much natural breast movement as possible.

The right size ensures good support and a comfortable fit.To figure out your bra size, take your bust measurement: * Measure yourself without a bra on. * Use a mirror. * Hold your tape measure horizontally at the top of your back towards the bottom of your shoulder blades. * Bring the tape measure across the fullest part of your bust. Without pulling it tight, take the measurement.You can then check this measurement against the size chart.

Our models are designed to increase comfort and help prevent health problems: * we do not use underwiring (risk of injury and compression of the lymph nodes)* we minimise seams near the nipple (to prevent chafing)* we use components that wick perspiration away from the body (improves the level of comfort and considerably lowers the risk of chafing).

All our models are verified in our labs using our bust support test (measures the decrease in acceleration of the breasts during sports).They are rated and categorised:1 : light support3: medium support5: superior support* Our fitness bras guarantee a reduction in the acceleration of the bust compared with a standard bra. 10% minimum (level 1) up to over 50% (level 5).
