There are a large number of women who seek the answer to the query of whether running with no bra is comfortable or not. Thousands of women, on the other hand, never ask the question because they have been so comfortable with wearing a bra when undertaking any physical activity, such as running. The primary use of a bra is to support and shape the breasts well, allowing you to feel comfortable with your body and the way you are built.

When contemplating the issue of whether to wear a bra or not while running, it is important that you first check on how comfortable you feel with not wearing a bra at all. At times, the type of bra that you wear could cause a certain amount of discomfort, especially when you are undertaking a physical task that requires a lot of breathing and diaphragm movement. In order to feel more comfortable and give your breasts the support they need during a period of exercise, it is recommended that you wear on a sport bra. Sport bras do not have an under wire to give shape, but are more elastic in nature and provide enough room for comfortable wearing. They also protect your body from tearing of tissue within the breast that may occur due to the swinging and slapping movement of your breasts while preventing strain on the back and neck. Besides this, they are more sweat absorbent than regular bras and therefore give a more comfortable feel.

It is also important for women to be aware of the fact that extended periods of wearing a bra are known to increase the risk of breast cancer. Recent studies carried out have shown that women who wear a bra twenty four hours a day are more likely to develop cancer of the breast than women who wear a bra for twelve hours or less. The reason for this is that the pressure exerted by the bra on the lymph nodes in the breast, tend to cause them to swell and retain toxins, which leads to the development of further complications. The ultimate choice on whether to wear a bra or not is yours. You need to assess the situation and then decide for yourself whether you will feel comfortable with or without a bra. Camisoles are another alternative to wearing bras. They are not tight and give you enough room for comfort without leaving you conscious about not wearing a bra.
