Differences Between Compression and Encapsulated Sports Bra

 

Wearing the right sports bra can minimize injury during sport and breast-sagging. Depending on what kind of sport one is doing, the style of the sports bra suggested to wear differs from compression, encapsulated or combination of both.

Definitions

Compression sports bra compresses the breasts against the chest. This one-piece style allows minimal or no-bounce breast movement. Normally they come in the form of pullover style without fasteners.

Encapsulated sports bra is designed to surround and support each breast individually with encapsulated cups. With no compression, this type of bra endures less bounce during exercise and gives more feminine shape to the wearer as well.

The compression/encapsulated combination style combines the compression and the encapsulation methods. It encapsulates each breast and compresses them against the chest. Thus it offers great support as well as comfort and shaping. Visit Our Website

Who to wear which

A and B cups were said that they were best to wear compression bras. Coming in 2 basic styles - scoop-back style and racer-back style - they compress the breasts against the chest wall to restrict movement.

C cups and larger are always recommended to choose the encapsulated or combination sports bras. Because the compression bras are mostly in pullover style, they will not be easy for larger-breasted women to wear since they could possibly trap them in an odd pose when pulling the bras overhead. With encapsulation, the breasts are more supported and the bras are also more comfortable to wear.

Levels of sports impact

There are different levels of impact when one is engaged in sport activity. Walking and yoga are considered as low-impact activities. For this type of sports, the breasts bounce in one certain direction and it will be minimal. Therefore a compression sports bra is fine to wear, though encapsulation one is a good choice, too.

When you hike or do inline-skate, this will generate a medium impact to your body. And sports like running, kickboxing and soccer produces high impact. For these medium and high impacts types of sport, encapsulated bra is a better choice. With encapsulation, women have more chance getting no-bounce support because the breasts are managed separately.

Wanna fit a bra properly? First step: get someone to take your measurements for you. For the size of the band a woman should be measured just under her bust. Before being measured: put on your best-fitting, non-padded bra, and then exhale all the air from your lungs. If you get an odd number, add 5 inches to get your band size. If you get an even number, add 4 inches to get your band size.

Furthermore, measure across your "bust size" (the fullest part of your breasts). To determine your cub size, subtract the band measurement from the bust measurement. By and large each inch of difference means an increase of one cup size, usually shown on a conversion chart. For example if your band measurement is 36 inches and your fullest measurement is 40, then your bra size would be 36D.
