Why should I wear a sports bra?
The breast is a fragile organ, supported almost entirely by skin. Since stretching of the skin is irrevesible, it is essential to limit stress as much as possible and therefore the risks of long-term damage. When the breasts move around, this is painful and also prevents movements being executed properly, leading to a loss of energy and performance.
Thuasne takes into account these specifically feminine constraints. Top'Strap, sports bras, designed in collaboration with a sports physiology laboratory and tested in the field, offer athletes and sportswomen of all levels optimum support for improved performance.
The Top'Strap concept
To limit upward bounce of the breast and vertical accelerations, the Top'Strap bra has reinforced compression band located on the upper part of the bust. The centre of inertia is therefore closer to the body, in turn limiting the stresses exerted on the breasts. The breasts are perfectly supported without being crushed, for absolute comfort
The support band extends towards the sides to control outward movements. The lower part consists of 2 half-cups made of compression fabric and a rigid zone between the breasts to position and support each breast.
A moulded integral lining eliminates any risk of friction and irritation.
The materials
Thuasne Sport Underwear bras are made of compression fabrics incorporating the most technical fibres to provide softness, moisture control and maximum hygiene
A patented, scientifically tested concept
The TOPSTRAP support band, which is exclusive to Thuasne Sport Underwear, exerts localised pressure to limit vertical bounce of the breast and provide lateral support for the bust. it reduces vertical and horizontal accelerations by up to two thirds.
