Considering how popular sports bras are it is surprising that they haven't been around that long. The first commercially available sports bra was the "Free Swing Tennis Bra" (kind of a misleading name!) introduced in 1975. Still a better bra was needed for general exercise. A prototype was made from two jockstraps and called a jockbra,it later became the jogbra. There were still more designs to follow to accommodate women with large breasts,while the most common sports bra is the compression type,there are many other variations with gel or water pads and even air bags. They also have different types of strap designs,and choices for the physical activities you plan on doing,not to mention that age also plays a factor in the style of sports bra that will give the most comfort. In addition to offering support and comfort while exercising they can also be worn for most x-rays,which is always a plus if you don't enjoy dressing and undressing multiple times a day! I am not entirely sure how I landed on this subject today,but if you needed to know a little about sports bras now you do. I had no idea the styles were so diverse.
