Today I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr Deirdre McGhee, a researcher and sports physiotherapist at the University of Wollongong. Dr McGhee’s work focuses on sports bras – how they fit, and how they impact physical activity. Her work has found that more than 80% of women wear a sports bra that does not fit them properly. This can result in a myriad of problems ranging from embarrassment (especially for adolescents), physical discomfort, and even reduced sport performance. I have embedded a short video below where Dr McGhee describes her work, and gives tips on simple resources that can help women determine whether their bras fit them properly (email subscribers can view the video on our blog)sexy lingerie.
From a previous article on Dr McGhee, here are her 3 tips for bra fitting success:
1. Don’t have the band too loose – the band is the primary support and it shouldn’t move up and down as you move your arms.
2. When worn, the cups should have no wrinkles and gaps (too big) and no bulging of breast tissue to the side or below the armpit (too small) cheap sexy lingerie.
3. The underwire must sit on the ribs in your armpit. The front between the cups flush on your breastbone. The straps must be firm and supportive but not uncomfortable.
Dr McGhee has helped to create a bra fitting brochure, which you can access online for free here. She assures me that it is extremely simple to get the proper fit for a sports bra, most women just haven’t been taught how to do so. Dr McGhee has also created an iPhone/iPad app which will allow women to assess their bra fit, and track their sports bras over time, which you will be able to find in the Apple app store in the coming weeks by searching “Sports Bra”cheap lingerie.
