Technology-led
sports bra manufacturer
Shock Absorber have launched a new interactive presentation on their website that simulates boobs of varying sizes and how much they
bounce based on the type of exercise.

The whole thing is a bit of fun for us, but there is a clear message behind it and that is that by protecting your assets with a good
sports bra you can keep them in good shape and avoid drooping or in the worst case more serious damage by wearing the correct bra.
According to their website - and some boffs from Portsmouth University - once breasts have dropped because of stretching these ligaments, nothing can restore them to their former position.
If that sounds bad, I quote:
Inadequate breast support, coupled with excessive breast motion, is the most likely cause of sore and tender breasts after exercise. In a survey, 80% of GPs questioned agreed that with the specialist support of a sports bra, stress on the ligaments is reduced. This helps delay the long-term sagging of breasts.
Oh deary me. Call to action!
