A sports bra looks like a tight-chest-top top with wide straps crossed at the back. Most often, it has a brand of a sporting brand.

A sports sconce can be replaced with an ordinary bra or silicone cups, but for the sake of comfort during sports, this should not be done.

In the process of manufacturing a sports bra, materials are used that allow air to pass through and remove moisture. Such materials are also used to create other sportswear: t-shirts, tops, leggings.

Good sports jersey consists of two layers:

1. The first (closely adjacent to the body) is a hygroscopic material that rapidly passes moisture and does not allow it to collect and irritate the skin.
2. The outer layer (usually denser) allows the sweat to gradually evaporate without causing inconvenience.

• Cotton will not provide the necessary support for the chest during intensive exercise;
• Cotton products are rapidly losing shape.

The main task of sportswear is to create conditions for maximum maintenance of the breast at rest due to the compression effect (compression - pressure, compression).
