Have You Done a Bounce Test?
If there’s one thing I hate, it’s a persistent cardio bounce coming straight from an unsupportive sports bra. While I haven’t had too much trouble finding a sports bra, I have had difficulty finding one that holds everything together for high-impact activities.
Sometimes it’s helpful to check out non plus-size sites to get inspiration. I know that some people don’t like to page through pages and pages of skinnies (um, myself included) but my About.com colleague’s site had just the right piece for us. Check out Take the Bounce Test & the referenced video on Cynthia Nellis’ site.
So far, my favorite sports bra is the Panache 2001 Sports Bra, shown. I found it on Shopping MSN, here, if you’d like to check it out.
Something that always bothers me, outside of the cost of good bras, is the lack of style when it comes to the sports models, along with their tendency to compress the bust. They leave me just as cold as minimizers!
If I could find a good, sturdy bra that still held on to its sex appeal I would be beside myself with joy!
Ew. Minimizers. Why use that word– it sounds as unflattering as most of the bras actually are.
