Ill-fitting sports bras, a new puzzle for fitness girls
A good-fitting sportswear is a big motivator to get out on the playing field, but female sports enthusiasts face a dilemma – choosing a well-fitting sports bra is not easy.
Thin chest pad underwear is comfortable but has the risk of convex spots, and thick chest pads are very pressing; Big-breasted people have to sacrifice their good looks for functionality, and good-looking sports bras can't wrap up "anxieties about accessory breasts"; There are even some sports bras that don't peel off the skin and can't take it off at all.
The difference in size is not only reflected in traditional underwear and sports bras, but also between sports brands. For example, an athlete who wears a size 8 underwear at lululemon may need to wear a Nike XXL sports bra, which is almost the largest size on the market.
As a close-fitting functional garment, sports bras can be fitted to make sports bras play a role in support and protection. Because of the difference in size standards and sports bra styles, sports bras can only know the fit after trying them, and even, wear them several times to determine whether they fit.
The difficulty of buying sports bras also stems from the difference in women's chest shape. In European and American countries where fitness is more developed, the average female cup is in the C cup, while the average Asian cup is A cup, and there is a more insensitive "side breast anxiety" of European and American actresses. Therefore, when sports bras meet Asian women as a "foreign product", it is inevitable that they will not adapt to the soil.
Secondly, the public's understanding of sports bras has not yet been popularized - sports bras need to give chest support during exercise and reduce chest shaking chest protection, which is why sports bras are difficult to have the comfort of ordinary underwear, and generally wearing "naked" sports bras may not be suitable sports bras.
Choosing the right sports bra has become a compulsory course for many women to step into the sports field. For the selection of sports underwear, you can start from the exercise intensity, sports scene, functionality, size, and focus on trying on and feeling.
The selection of sports bras requires more investment, because well-fitting sports bras are a protection for the body, on the contrary, an ill-fitting sports bra will become a burden on the body.
Sports bras are not easy to pick
As for the style of sports bras, brands are working hard to improve them, launching sports bras with "natural curve bra pads", "breast covering", "front zipper", and "back button".
For sports bras, sometimes the honey of A and the arsenic of B, every sports girl has an indescribable bitterness.
The halterneck model meets the thin back is a "pure desire weapon", and the wide shoulder back becomes the "King Kong Barbie". Lorna Jane's underwear has always been known for its supportiveness, and the dumpling-shaped bra pads eliminate the "bump crisis" and make the breasts fuller, but for big-breasted girls, the thickened dumpling bra pads are a big thunder point.
If it is said that the style design varies from person to person, as long as there are many choices, it is not a problem, but the issue of sports bra size has always been a mystery.
First of all, the size standards of traditional underwear and sports bras are not the same. Among the female athletes interviewed, a large proportion of the traditional underwear size 75B was wearing sports bras of different sizes corresponding to the same brand of S/M/L, although they were the same chest size.
The elusive style and size make offline try-on a necessity for sports bra purchases.
Often, every time you try on sports bras, it is the most painful part of buying clothes: calmly entering the fitting room, sweating profusely, especially if the size is small, and falling into the dilemma of "wearing in but not out". Athletic girls have less and less hair, and hard-to-take sports bras have a lot to do.
It is difficult to find a suitable sports bra, and it is difficult to choose a style and tired of trying a size.
Why are sports bras so hard to buy?
For low-impact exercises such as strength training, yoga, Pilates, etc., you can wear lightly supportive sports bras for greater comfort. However, if you wear a lightly supported sports bra when jumping rope, you will face the possibility of chest escape and chest shaking violently.
