One of the biggest mistakes I see when it comes
to sports bras is wearing your everyday, basic bra.
Sports bras have a job to do and mostly it's
to protect your bust and also it's to protect your bras,
because perspiration will kill your basic bras.
And hopefully, you are washing them more often so that will
also break them down. Wash them every day.
Well yes, and all that washing will break it down.
So you can wash your basic bras every now and then,
but sports bras need to be washed every time.
A smaller-busted woman should be as concerned
about having a proper sports bra as a larger-busted woman?
Totally, yes, protection is the big key here
and one of the other biggest mistakes I see too,
is people wear the same sports bra for every activity.
Just like you have different bras for different outfits,
you want different sports bras for different activities.
So high impact, low impact, no impact.
I think some of the ladies that I have here today
are gonna help us look at some of these general tips.
You can make a loving and informed decision
about what you put on your body.
Sports bra that I have on now,
the straps are way too long, it's really uncomfortable.
It doesn't give me the right support.
Yeah.
As you can see, sometimes when I'm running,
it lifts up, it rises up and it's so uncomfortable, so.
Yeah, so let's talk about this bra.
This is a great bra, it's just not great
on her for a couple reasons.
It's a super stretchy bra that comes in alpha sizing,
so small, medium, large, so it doesn't really fit her.
It's so loose here, it can come right up.
And here's a good tip for everybody.
The strap of this bra, if you can see in the back here,
is non-adjustable, so we can only get so good
of a fit for her and--
And the longer she has it,
the longer the straps will become.
And if you can get a stretchy strap all the way
up to the ear, it is too loose to actually stay
on the body and do its job properly.
So you might as well just go naked.
(laughing) Almost, almost.
So I got her this Le Mystere sports bra,
which is going to give her really great shape
and also be really supportive.
Pretty color, too.
Gorgeous bra.
Put this one on, we'll talk all about it when you come back.
Okay. Thank you so much.
Okay, so now Wendy, come on over.
Hi Wen, what's your issue? Hey guys.
So I'm a little fuller-busted and I need more support.
This is supposed to be supportive, but twice,
it actually unzipped on me and I didn't realize it until--
I was just gonna say, I will guess that the bad part
about this bra is that easy access zipper thing.
Yes, yes.
'Cause if you're sweating a lot, boom!
Yep, exactly. Yeah.
It's like WD-40 on a zipper, pow!
(crowd laughs) Exactly.
And then the chicks are out.
(all laugh) Out of the nest!
We wanna protect the chicks, keep them in the nest.
And so this bra in particular, again,
similar to the other one, actually,
doesn't have any adjustability,
so it's hard to get a good fit.
And especially if you are a full bust,
we wanna get a good fit and listen,
good bra, not great for her and for the activities
that she's doing. Right.
She wants high impact, so we want something
that's actually gonna support her and give her some shape.
So I grabbed this one for her.
This is a great underwire sports bra.
We're gonna talk about all the features in a minute.
(whooshes)
This bra, we picked especially for her.
And these are all brands that I work with,
they're great partners of mine.
I chose these bras specifically for these ladies
and I can't wait to show them.
This bra in particular, I chose for her from Le Mystere.
This has a molded cup inside, it has an underwire
so it's giving her really great shape.
It also has this light compression over the top,
plus hello, it's really cute.
And then this is the part I really wanna talk about.
The back of this bra is adjustable,
so she can get a really, really great fit.
This is where all the support comes from.
And then also, it has this option to do the J-hook
in the back here, so you can get
the nice support. Right, so you can get that
if you're wearing a tank top or something, right?
Exactly, and here's the other reason.
So just like bridges, the Eiffel Tower
and your sports bra, they're made with that triangle shape
'cause it's the strongest shape out there.
Cool! Yeah.
How do you feel about it?
Well it looks well engineered.
Oh, thank you. (crowd claps)
Now listen, I wanna give you some other options,
so I wanted to make sure we had something
that was for low impact for her.
So this one is from Ana Ono, it's a wrap front
and it has a little bit of lining
in it to give her some shape,
but also this wide band is so yummy.
She can move in this, she can flex.
This is a great yoga bra, low impact bra.
I love this bra so much for her.
Are you comfy in that,
is it comfy? Very comfortable.
Yeah, it really looks cool too.
It feels really good. Beautiful.
And the best way to feel comfortable in any bra,
but especially a sports bra, is to wear something
that fits well and feels good.
So I'm gonna start in the back with this one as well.
Once again, we have adjustable straps
so we can actually get a really good fit for her.
We have the optional J-hook for this extra support back here
and this bra from Dominique Intimates
has a really beautiful, breathable amount
of fabric around here.
Yeah I love this, it's vented on the sides.
Vented. So if you sweat a lot,
hello, I'm a big sweater. Same.
It's lined in cotton so it's really soft,
but this has a hidden underwire, so she can get the real,
super duper support that she needs.
That's great.
Another option for her, and we tried this on.
This is from Empreinte, which is a fancy French company.
It makes gorgeous bras for full-busted ladies
and a lot of times, if you have a full bust,
you don't get those beautiful options.
No, that's gorgeous.
Yeah, so now she has the option to wear something
that is both supportive and breathable.
This is a Spacer molded fabric and also looks dynamite.
Love this. Really pretty,
really pretty. (crowd claps and cheers)
(chimes jingle)
