Sports Bras for Small Busted Women

Sports bras for small busted women are just as important as sports bras for large busted women.

Basically, the design of a sports bra is to protect delicate breast tissue. Breast tissue is delicate whether you are small chested or a bit more well endowed. Believe it or not, small busted women are just as prone to sagging as those with larger chests. This is why it is just as important to find the proper sports bra whether you are an A cup or a DD. Still don't think so? Here is an explanation of the physiology behind the need for sports bras.

Everyone knows that breast tissue is very delicate, but why? Without having to take a Human Anatomy and Physiology class, here is a quick explanation: Basically, the part of your body that holds up and supports your breasts is called Cooper's Ligament. Unlike skin, these ligaments are non-elastic, meaning, they do not stretch and then snap back into place. Once Cooper's ligaments are stretched out, they remain that way permanently. This translates into saggy breasts, no matter if they are big or small.

Some believe they can work out their pectoral muscles to get their breasts to, shall we say, stand up and salute again. No matter how much you work out your pectoral muscles to get your breasts back to their proper place, it won't work. The only thing this will do is strengthen and build the muscle underneath the breast and not the breast itself. You will just end up with a strong chest and saggy breasts.

Now that you know the importance of wearing a sports bra for small busted women, if you are small busted, then you know that sometimes, they can be difficult to find.

If you have searched endlessly at your local Target, Walmart and sporting goods stores but have had no luck, here is a list of a few online stores you might just want to check out:

• Road Runner Sports – Road Runner offers a huge variety of sports bras, but some of them are only for C cups and up. To save you some time, here are the ones they have for small busted women:
  • RRS Powertek Long Bra
  • Champion Shape T-Back Sports Bra
  • Champion Shape Vented Cami Bra
  • RRS Intensity Tank Bra
  • Moving Comfort Chloe Bra

• The Triathlete Store – Also has a huge selection of sports bras, though, like with other stores, you have to weed through them a bit to get to the ones made for smaller chested women. Here are a few:
  • CW-X Conditioning Wear Lite Support Bra
  • T-Back Tank Bra

• Jockey – This company has been around along time in the undergarment industry and, as no surprise they make sports bras as well. Check out their Medium Impact Molded Cup Mesh Bra.

• Patagonia – This store is better known for its outdoor gear than its sports bras, but they do make them for women with smaller chests and they aren't as expensive as one might think when talking about products from Patagonia.

Now that you are armed with a bit more information about why a sports bra is so necessary for women with breasts of all shapes and sizes, hopefully you no longer need convincing that even if you are an AA cup, you still need a sports bra. If the higher prices of sports bras giving you the most pause, think of it this way: spending $30-50 on a good quality sports bra is much more affordable than the breast lift you are going to want years down the road if you don't wear one.
