For many years i have thought it would be great if I could find a sports bra in my size. It doesn't matter what color, I just wanted some support, with full coverage and a underwire. Then one day I made a trip to "Perfect Fit" in Kenysham, in search for a supportive swimsuit for my summer holiday. Not impressed with the colours or sizes they had to offer in the swimwear section, I went on to enquire about their sports bras,
"No No we wouldn't have a 30H sports bra" one fitter protested, but after asking another fitter she found one in th sale section, it was a "Panache Hi Impact Sports bra" and gave as much support I could possible ask for enabling me to participate in sports activities with confidence.
The shop assistant asured me this was the last one i would find as they had become discountinued! however I found this site http://www.lessbounce.com/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Panache_Sports_Bras_5.html selling the sportsa bra at £31.99 each or two for £50!
Look out for the new 'Panache Sport' Sports bra to be launched February 2009 the bra will come in both black with hot pink trim and white with soft pink trim and 28-38 D-G. The bras will be sold exclusively by Bravissimo as of December 2008.
Many bras loose their life as a result of regular wearing, machine washing and tumble drying. Wearing the same bra for long periods of time may cause the bra to loose elasticity and support.
When your bra gets to this stage it is advised to purchase some new bras but there are ways to prolong the life of your bra.
Bra Care tips
Always follow the care labels, which often advise hand washing.
Washing
Fill a bowl with cold water and gentle detergent (shampoo or hand soap also works) soak for no longer than half an hour. Rub the bra (lingerie item) gently with hand and make sure that you use enough water to get the sweat out. If the bra is made of silk, lace or satin, exercise extra caution when rubbing so as not to pull the threads out
Detergent weakens the fibres of the material make sure you rinse your lingerie garments thoroughly. Not rinsing your garments properly will lead to fabric erosion, and may cause your lingerie to expand in size.
Drying
Do not leave your lingerie under direct sunlight for too long as this may take away the vibrancy of the colors instead, after washing, clip them to a clothesline or hang them on a drying rack
Washing Machine
If you'd rather use the washing machine than hand-wash, put them in a lingerie bag or pillowcase, and set your machine on the delicate cycle at a cool temperature.
