Wash your new sports bra in cold water on delicate and DO NOT put it in the dryer. Heat quickly degrades elastic, so treat your new bra like you would an expensive dress. Use careful laundering to protect your investment and make it last as long as possible! Expect a great year with your sports bra, but remember when the year is over, it’s time to break up.
Many stores and bra brands put bras on sale as much as 50% off on Black Friday, so start perusing and trying on now to get your buying list ready! That is the single best day to get your bras bought for the year.
Weight gain and loss affects breast size, which makes buying on Black Friday a bit tricky since extra poundage is probable. The menstrual cycle also affects breast size – it can vary as much as 1/3 of a measuring cup in size over the course of a month – so it’s good to have multiple sizes depending on the time of the month and year.
Let me just interject here – this bra thing makes it so complicated to be a girl!
And lastly, an Easter egg: Three women developed the first sports bra in 1977. The prototype was made of two jock straps; incidentally, the jock strap was invented more than 100 years earlier in 1874.
