Can I wear a sports bra?Updated a year ago
The short answer for sports bras is to empty your breasts before you wear a sports bra. Enjoy a work out! You'll want to avoid having your breasts full of milk while wearing a tight, compressive or shaping bra. As soon as you finish your workout, take the sports bra off. Depending on how prone to clogged ducts you are and how full you got while wearing your bra, you may want to empty your breasts again after you finish your workout. That's an extra precaution.
Last step, always if you choose to wear a non-Stage 1 bra during the day, sleep in a Stage 1 bra at night (or go braless!). Think of wearing a Stage 1 bra at night as a 'reset' for your breasts from the day.
