Benefits of technology

The bra is designed to provide support and comfort during physical activities that involve breast movement such as running, yoga, and sports. It includes a stretch zone to accommodate different breast shapes and activities. The bra also has interior straps to prevent breast movement during physical activity.

Problems solved by technology

However, no existing version of the sports bra comfortably prevents movement of the breasts in all directions during physical activity.
Furthermore, current bras are still severely inadequate for large breasted women.

More recently, sports bras have been developed to provide support and minimize the movement of breasts during physical activity. Control of motion of the breasts during activity is important, as it reduces pain and injury to the breast tissue. Two primary approaches have been taken to accomplish this, the compression-type approach and the encapsulation-type approach. These approaches aim to minimize movement of the breasts either by compressing the breast to the chest of the wearer by...
