1 Did you know breasts can bounce up to 15cm in any direction if you’re not wearing the right sports bra? Getting enough support is important because the delicate ligaments of the breast can stretch if left unsupported, exacerbating any natural sagging, and unfortunately the damage is irreversible. At M&S, there are three levels of support available in our Goodmove sports bra range: medium for low-impact exercise such as yoga or Pilates, high for dancing or racket sports and extra-high for activities such as running or HIIT classes.
2 If you have larger breasts, always opt for high or extra-high impact support, as your bust will naturally move more and therefore needs extra hold.
3 When buying a sports bra, always buy the same size as your normal bra. It may feel firmer, but this is because it’s designed to minimise bounce. However, it should still feel comfortable and allow complete freedom of movement – if in doubt, mimic the activity you are planning to do in the bra when you try it on.
