Anatomy of a Sports Bra

From soft flowing yoga to a high impact workout, when you are active you need to protect the girls accordingly.

Your sports bra must control;

• upward bounce
• downward sag
• natural shape
• allow for upper body flexibility

to allow you to achieve your personal best in every activity you love.



Earlier this year  BBC Sport highlighted the importance of a good sports bra when encouraging young women to enter any sport, and the necessity this bra plays at a professional level. Tongue in cheek they follow the development of the sports bra from the 1970's through various sport icons.

Last year Chantelle Lingerie revealed their new hi-impact underwire sports bra, filling your need for support, breathable structure and definition, with the style that lovers of this fine lingerie house expect. Chantelle designers Nathalie Gosset and Trine Clausen created a fit that they had been unable to find in other brands solving strap and uni-boob issues. Fitting sizes 30-42, C-H cups, this bra has a firm band to assure absolute stability during intense movement.

Independent lingerie expert Ellen Lewis (via LingerieBriefs blog) picked up riding as a hobby later in life, and tested the Chantelle hi-impact sports bra, very impressed with its performance. Our customers have been wearing the bra for months now, and they love the fit.

As with all bra styles, you need to find the sports bra that fits your shape, not the other way around. Your sports bra is as vital to your exercise as your shoes - and should be replaced just as often.
