Every women is unique, and deserves the best care. In that point of view, the right sports bra really matters. Do you wear a suitable run bra?
Let's get personal advice of one of the (female) Runners' lab advisors, and be sure that your breasts get the support they need and deserve during running or working out.
Brooks sports bras
Runners' lab is very critical in the choice of brands. They specifically choose for Brooks run bra's for their good support, quality and comfort.
Brooks has sports bras for every kind of body, in different fits, different sizes and different colors.
Buy the right sports bra
Buying the right sports bra is - unfortunately - not that easy. It's easier to buy the wrong bra... Taking the wrong circumference, a cup size too small or large...
The sports bra that doesn't fit well, can do more harm than you might think.
Or, you are simply wearing a sports bra that's worn-out. Did you know that you should really replace your bras after 200 washes?
"Every women
is different,
but so similar."
The importance of the right sports bra
For sports such as biking or yoga, you're quite safe. Running is a whole other story. The impact of running on your body is much higher, and can therefore lead to more complaints and discomfort. It's easy to explain:
A breast weights on average 250 grams. Two of them makes that you carry half a kilogram with you.
The older you get, the weaker your skin and connective tissue. Plus, your milk duct- and fat tissue change. These two things make your breasts less solid.
The weight of a breast is carried only by a web of cooper ligaments and a flexible skin. Both are weak constructions and thus need some support.
A women's breast doesn't have any muscles. You can't 'train' them to recover, and every damage is irreversible. Take care!

Survey about sports bra habits of women
Runners' lab wants to convince every women that the right sports bra really is important. To reach our goal efficiently, we made up a survey and asked all running ladies to fill it in.
The 1500 answers helped us to get better insights in sports bra habits of female runners.
Some striking results of the sports bra survey (2022):
- 11,2%. That's the amount of women who (sometimes) run without a sports bra.
- 30.%. Almost 1/3th of the women experience back- or neck complaints during running.
- The most common mistake among female runners is to wear the same sports bra for more than 2 years.
