A recent research study released in Britain revealed that more than fifty percent of all women experience pain in their breasts. One of the major reasons behind this problem is on their choice of bras which is not of the right size most of the time.

An online report provided by HerRoom website revealed that sports bras are the best answers to beat breast pains. According to University of Portsmouth biomechanics professor Dr. Joanna Scurr, sports bras can easily protect women especially on strenuous sports.

Dr. Scurr stressed that breast size does not play a major factor in terms of who can be affected by the pain. She said, large and small breasted women complain of the same problem. She added that previous studies may show low number of women complaining because most of them don’t treat this as a serious issue and oftentimes don’t tell their doctors about the pain.

By wearing sports bras, the movement of the breasts can be minimized.  Women can choose between compression and encapsulation sports bras when they go to retail stores. Dr. Scurr, however, concluded on her report that the encapsulation sports bra provided the most effective results.
