Whether you are running in the Olympics or through the aisles of the grocery store, an active lifestyle requires the proper support! That means a good sports bra.

Intimacy recommends that you wear at least a medium to high impact bra for most sports activities. Yet many women are wearing sports bra that offer poor support. A regular bra or compression sports bra cannot provide the support that an active woman needs.

Excessive movement without proper support puts stress on the connective tissues which hold your breasts up. The result: stretched ligaments, loss of elasticity and permanent sagging! And that's not all! Wearing the wrong sports bra can subject your bouncing breasts to chafing, bruising, abrasions and sweat-irritation. Ouch!

A good sports bra reduces the strain and impact caused by the extreme breast movement, letting you concentrate on your workout, not your jiggling breasts!

Buy a sports bra that offers you cup-shaped, seamed support. Stitched seams should provide strength along with support, with evenly distributing motion stresses across the entire breast. Seamed cups can even be designed to accommodate the stresses of specific sports — such as tennis or golf — with vertical seams for side-to-side movement. Also look for moisture-wicking properties in the bra's fabric, to prevent chafing and other skin irritations. See our line of Sports Bras.
