Some athletic socks are made with thicker material to add cushioning. Athletic bras Formerly known as running bras, sport bras are an important piece of athletic equipment. Even if you don't mind swaying a bit in the breeze while you exercise in your regular bra, it may not be the best thing for you-ordinary bras are not designed for the extra motion involved in exercise. They work by compressing the breasts against the chest and holding them in place so they have limited mobility. This prevents them from stretching out as you exercise away.
Encapsulation sports bras work by supporting each breast individually up against the chest.
They are the preferred method of support for larger- breasted women, as they can provide more individual support to each breast without the breasts pouring over the top of the bra. Sports bras are not unlike regular bras in terms of the variety of styles and comfort levels offered. Make sure to try the bra on before your purchase it. You'll be more active in it than a regular bra, so you'll want to make sure it fits properly. Sports bras are also made with moisture-wicking fabrics.
