9. Correct measurement
Finding the right size
Measuring tips:
âą When measuring your customer stand at her side. The customerâs arms should hang loosely and she
should breathe normally.
âą Hold the tape loosely over the tip of the breast and read off the measurement at the side of the back.
âą Take measurements in a wellfitting soft bra (without underwires). The cup must encompass the breast
at the side and around the neckline without restriction.
The measured size serves as a guideline. The actual size and best comfort for each customer can
only be determined when she tries the item on!
Step by step to the right

vity involves a different degree of jolting
and shock. Wearing a sports bra all the
time will mean that the connective tissue
remains firm, which is obviously what wo-
men want.
TFS: In your view which features are es-
sential in an optimum sports bra?
Dr Beckstein: The straps must be wide
and have a good contact surface to en-
sure the best distribution of weight on the
shoulders. It should also be ensured that
the bra does not cut in and it should move
and adapt to the motion of the wearer.
Flat and soft seams are also important to
prevent skin irritation. The fabric should
be breathable and ensure optimum mois-
ture transport. This is particularly impor-
tant when the body temperature rises du-
ring sports activities. The breast requires
firm support, but the fabric should be
lightweight and soft. It should feel like a
second skin.
TFS: Which tips would you give our rea-
ders for buying a sports bra?
Dr Beckstein: âGo to a specialist outlet
where you will be given sound advice. It is
very difficult to answer the following ques-
tions when you are standing in front of a
mirror: Does the bra fit properly? Is the
breast at the right height? The optimum fit
is the decisive criterion for the protective
and supportive function of a sports bra.â

much for talking to us!
