New invention keeps runners breasts under control

Canadian inventor Carol Clay was fed up with boob bounce when running.

The very first Janestrapâ„¢ prototype was literally the tie-belt to my bathrobe. I put on my most useless sport bra and then wrapped the tie-belt around my chest and fastened it with some safety pins. I then went for a run and was completely blown away! This crazy idea works! There was no bounce. I knew that this idea had potential so I set about to come up with an idea that would be marketable.

Janestrap

The Janestrapâ„¢ is a motion-control sport strap for large breasted women. Worn over your sports bra, the Janestrapâ„¢ limits vertical movement of the breasts allowing you to exercise in comfort without pain or embarrassment.

The idea is simple, but won over the judging panel of Canadian Dragons Den. Available in four sizes, the Janestrapâ„¢ is made of supportive elastic, wickable fabric for moisture control and features 4 rows of hook and eyes for adjustability.

You must have a good sports bra to begin with! The Janestrap is for women who have a good sports bra but still find they have excessive breast bounce.

If this sounds like your dream invention take a look at www.janestrap.com. We are not currently aware of any UK stockists.

Sports bra supports plus size sporting action

Another top tip for top control as part of our busty girls’ sports bra guide this month. We have filtered through the products and styles available for larger busted British females who like their sport and there’s some good news – there’s alot of choice these days if you know where to look. Keep an eye on Bra Selector or subscribe to our RSS feed to find out more.

Today’s pick is the Rosa Faia sport bra, available from our BraShop in association with Figleaves.

Firm cup sports bra

This light and firm sports bra from Anita has smooth, soft cups, fashioned from supportive microfibre.

It is designed with a wide bust band and straps for a stable feeling and has a three hook fastening at the back.

Microfibre transports moisture away from the body and guarantees a feeling of dry comfort even during strenuous exercise. Their active sports bra range is perfect for women who don’t want to compromise on style and performance.

Sizes: A wide range of back sizes A up to G cup.

Rosa Faia is German lingerie company Anita’s brand promising “attractive lingerie in big cups and accessories for fashion-conscious women”.

Priced £29 from Figleaves or our Brashop.

This bra has received excellent reviews on the internet:

This is a fantastic bra and it definitely fits me better than my previous shock absorber one. For 32E size you really can’t get a more comfortable high impact bra. I use it when I’m running and I think I will buy another one in different colour too.

Extreme control plus size sport bra

For more plus size sporting control

For more control try the Rosa Faia extreme control sport bra.

This extreme control “upgrade” from the sports bra above has wide padded straps that adjust in length to fit. The firm stretch fabric and carefully seamed cups provide the bust with strong support and the back panels allow moisture to evaporate away from the skin.

This bra is available from Figleaves or our BraShop priced £35.
