Study shows sports bras are useless

Ladies, we all know that high-impact sports, such as jogging or aerobics, can be extremely uncomfortable for your breast. It can cause saggy breasts as it puts a lot of strain on the delicate boobies. Therefore, every woman should wear a supportive bra while undergoing training activities.

Some scientists claim to have found the perfect brassiere. Apparently, after tough research they've developed a sort of "intelligent fabric" which will say exactly what kind of bra suits your body.

Now, breast size is an important factor in this matter, as I doubt they actually tested the bra on guinea pigs. The anti-bouncing bra was created at the university of Wollongong in Australia. Two women, aged 30 and 39, were given the sensor bra for tests. One took the 36D bra, the other the 38D one. After analyzing the bouncing, the scientists found out that women's breasts undergo stress because of the walk on a treadmill at a maximum 6.2mph. The results were shoulder pain and "tingling in the arms" which on the long term could cause nerve damage.

"Apart from strap-related pain, many females, particularly large breasted women, are restricted from participating in physical activity due to exercise induced breast pain associated with excessive vertical breast displacement," dailymail.com quoted experts as saying.

However, besides making your boobs look larger and sexier, the intelligent bra comes equipped with special sensors that measure the movement of the breast while walking and running, so that, in the future, the bra designers will know exactly what kind of bra fits you best to stop the bouncing. And yeah fellas, I know some of you would say that taking the view away should be banned by law.

As dailymail.com reports, the research team "found that the straps of a bra bear all the strain from breast bouncing. This places pressure on the nerves which can lead to numbness, tingling and long-term damage. They have also discovered breasts of a 36D size move up to an inch vertically while a woman walks at 4mph, and up to two inches when she runs at 6mph." Wow!

The magical bra is going to be bundled with sensors, while the tiny sensors built-in the fabric are going to "monitor and measure" the smallest movement of your precious goods.

Could this be the end of the bouncing boobs era? Hopefully, yes!
