Sports Bras
When you move, so does your bust, and this is known as 'bounce'. During exercise this can cause severe discomfort and repetitive bounce could damage tissue.
Sports bras are designed to reduce breast bounce and give excellent support for the bust when exercising. Most provide either medium or high motion control,
depending on whether they're designed for moderate or intense activity levels and many sports bras also wick away moisture to keep you cool and dry.

Moulded Bras
Moulded bras can give you a smooth line under clothes. This is achieved through the seamless cups which are moulded to fit the shape of the breast.
The cups are rigid enough to keep their shape when you're not wearing the bra, but should still give a natural look by mirroring the natural
shape of a woman, for shape and comfort. Moulded bras are generally unlined and may be either soft cup or underwire.

Microfibre Bras
Microfiber bras are made of fabric that provides skin-caressing softness. The fabric is made with ultra-fine filaments, tightly knit for superb smoothness making
it softer than silk. It also breathes well, for cooling comfort. Microfiber bras can be either nylon or polyester, often with some added spandex for stretch-perfect fit.

Racer-Back Bras
Racer back bras have Y-shaped backs that curve in between the shoulder blades. These racing-style backs add extra support and keep bra straps
anchored in place. Many sports bras and even some everyday bras have racer back designs.
Some bras come with a centre clip at the back for the racer option.

although some are and the centre of the bra is connected to the chest strap of the bra. Triangle bras without underwires give good support to the breasts and
add a more natural shape and look. The bust can support itself without the wire and you then avoid the pinching sometimes associated with underwires.

a changing rib cage size. Whilst these are practical considerations, maternity bras are available in a variety of fashionable designs using different colours and styles.
