Fitness blog---Sports Bras, are they necessary?

[Marissa Lily]

If you don't wear a good sports bra, exercising can make your breasts sag! High-impact activities, particularly jogging or aerobics, can stress your Cooper's ligaments, the connective tissue that keeps breasts firm. Compression bras work best for smaller-busted women; the more well-endowed (typically a C cup or larger) need an "encapsulation" bra that supports each breast separately. Replace workout bras about every 6 months.

Here are some good ones:

Believe it or not Wal Mart happens to have Danskin Bras, ranging from $9-$10. They are modeled after the old Victoria's Secret sports bras which are no longer made :( The packaging states if it is a medium or high impact bra. I like the high impact one a lot and it still makes your chest look good :)
