Breathable bra banishes discomfort
So just how do these bras work?
Conventional bra pads found in padded bras are typically made from man-made materials that prevent the evaporation of perspiration. The result is the accumulation of moisture in the breast cup area, which causes discomfort to the wearer.
The Breeze Comfort bra uses a new technology called Ventipad designed to provide ultimate breathability. Unlike traditional bra pads, this new invention has perforations throughout the padding that allow air and moisture to circulate around the chest area.
The company says that the moisture wicking fabric used in conventional padded bras alone is not enough to create a truly breathable, high performance garment. They believe so strongly in this new design with ventilation channels that they have patented the Ventipad.
The idea is simple: keeping cool and dry keeps the wearer more comfortable.

Lessbounce sports bra catalogue available now
The front cover features Tracy Moseley, the UK’s number one downhill mountain biker (number two in the world). Tracy has been supported by LessBounce for 4 years and is keen to encourage others to ensure they are well supported when training
whatever sport you take part in as a woman, a good sports bra is an essential part of your kitsaid Tracy.
The catalogue also features Sarah Outen, the first woman and youngest person to row solo across the Indian Ocean and Flight Lieutenant Rachael Cadman who is training to be the first woman to complete the Enduroman Arch to Arc ultra triathlon. Rachael said of the catalogue photoshoot
it was inspiring to be with so many positive women.
Rachael is raising money for Help for Heroes, a cause also supported by LessBounce who are selling a crop top with the charity’s logo on - £2.50 from each one sold is given to Help for Heroes.
Running is also particularly important in 2010 for LessBounce who are supporting the Women’s Running Network’s Better Half Marathon series. The first event is on 1st April at Castle Coombe race circuit. Selaine Saxby, founder of LessBounce plans to run the event herself and said of the series
it is the first ever women’s only half marathon series and LessBounce are delighted to be supporting both the event and the literally the runners on their way around. A woman’s breasts will move over 2km during the 13 mile run which can result in irreversible damage.
LessBounce have been associated with the Women’s Running Network for the last 4 years and their new catalogue includes Paula Philip, Group Leader for the Women’s Running Network modelling the new Run bra from Shock Absorber. The Run bra is the first sports bra designed specifically for running. The bra has tested well in research at Portsmouth University where it has been shown to reduce bounce by up to 78%.
Running is one of the fastest growing sports for women in the UK and as a result LessBounce are selling a new range of running shorts and tights from Moving Comfort, designed specifically for women, up to a size 20. LessBounce also offer a free marathon club for women training for London Marathon – just email info@lessbounce.com for more information on this, or a new catalogue.

New invention keeps runners breasts under control
The very first Janestrap™ 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.
The idea is simple, but won over the judging panel of Canadian Dragons Den. Available in four sizes, the Janestrap™ 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
Today's pick is the Rosa Faia sport bra, available from our BraShop in association with Figleaves.
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.
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.
