What is the difference between a wired and non-wired sports bra?
I often get asked the question “should I wear a sports bra with wires?” or someone will make a statement like “I only wear a non-wired sports bra option”. Wires vs Non wires it can become so confusing.
There is no right or wrong answer there is only the right choice of sports bra for you. Make sure that your choice in sports bra matches the level of impact of the activity you are doing. For example, a high impact activity like running needs good to firm support.
One of the main differences is that wired sports bras will allow for more breast separation. The wires add more structure. Therefore, if breast separation is important to you then I would encourage you to choose a wired option. Especially larger breasted ladies wired options like the Elomi Energise will be a great choice.
Non wired options offer fantastic comfort, as well as support. I absolutely love the new non wired racer sports bra from Panache. This is most probably my favourite sports bra at the moment.
Here are some other tips when choosing your sports bra:
- Choose a breathable option, that allows for air circulating effectively through the fine fibres, allowing for moisture to be transported away from the skin reducing chaff and redness.
- Don’t be afraid to wear bright colours. There are some gorgeous colour options coming out this season that can brighten up any workout.
- Jump around! When trying on a sports bra make sure you move around. Don’t stay static in the fitting room.
Breast movement should never stand in your way of getting active. Invest in the right support to help you get active.
