Benefits of this Bra

     

    The Sling system for protection and support of the breasts:

     

    Traditional sports bras rely on compression to immobilize breast tissue during activity. Dr. Marla’s Sports Bra gently cups and holds the breast without compression. (Compression can create discomfort and promote chest wall splinting (reduced lung expansion) during high demand exercise). The bra is designed to decrease jarring and tugging forces on breast tissue that can stress, stretch, and break delicate breast tissue during exercise. The sling is crescent shaped and designed to protect the areola and nipple while still providing support.


    Padded Side Ribs:


    This aids the bra in staying in place and minimizes lateral rotation during strenuous excursions or repetitive movements.

    Comfort:


    The sling is lined for comfort. The shoulder straps are padded. The bra material wicks away sweat to protect the skin from irritation during activities. Dr. Marla’s Sports Bra was designed for comfort; to increased support and decreased shoulder and back pain while wearing the bra.

    Figure enhancement:


    Without compression, the woman’s shape is maintained and enhanced. No need to compromise fashion for function. A woman can feel good and look good during a wide variety of activities.

     


    Symmetry:


    A significant proportion of the population has asymmetric breast sizes. Dr. Marla’s Sports Bra aids in equalizing the appearance of the breasts. This is possible because the bra cups and their supports are laterally independent and can be individualized by adjusting cup height tension and the amount of breast tissue pulled through the triangle, in order to compensate for natural differences in each breast.

    Versatility:


    Great for nursing moms who want to exercise since there is easy access for breast feeding without the necessity of removing the bra.

    Special structural features reviewed:

    1. Rigid but comfortable/padded shoulder straps for vertical lift.
    2. Triangular open frame surrounds each breast circumferentially for support.
    3. Crescent sling for gentle but unyielding support underneath the breast, to counteract the force of gravity.
    4. Variable cup height adjustment for support beneath and lateral to the breast.
    5. Prominent pink ribbon to remind women that they are in partnership with Women Supporting Women to fight breast cancer
         in a meaningful way.
