You wouldn’t buy a car without checking out all the smaller, hidden features, would you? So try to do the same when choosing a sports bra. There are many features in a sports bra that could make your exercise experience extremely uncomfortable and even painful. But if you know what to look out for, exercise could be a pleasure.

Take action:
Look for: less vertical stretch than horizontal stretch to stop the bounce; wide straps made out of firm, non-slip and non-stretch fabric to offer more support; absorptive, non-allergic and non-abrasive fabric; covered hooks to prevent chafing; wide elastic bands that fit around your ribs to stop the bra riding up and rubbing; labels that are covered, made of soft fabric or hidden to eliminate chafing; and a racer or T-back style if your sport requires freedom of arm movement (for example, tennis and squash).
