The different types available are; Softcup, Full Fit and Underwire. Medela have just recently release the Sleep Bra. It is made from very soft, stretchy fabric that allows easy drawback of the cup for breastfeeding - no fiddling with buttons, clasps or zips in the middle of the night. The Medela Classic Bra is very feminine and stylish. Again, the neckline is low and the lace 'softcup' is constructed of soft and cool cotton-Lycra. The cup size also adjusts to 3 positions to allow for the changing shape of the breast throughout the day.

Sports bra guide
It is really important to wear a good-fitting, supportive bra when exercising or playing sport.
Some experts even recommend wearing a sports bra for low-impact activities like gardening.
Breasts are made up of breast tissue, fat and tendons. If your breasts are not supported during exercise they will bounce, stretching the tendons which may cause sagging.
If this happens, the damage is irreversible. The only way to fix them is surgery.
When exercising, it is important to keep your bust as close to your rib cage as possible to reduce bouncing.
The best, most supportive sports bra will be high-cut and full in the cup. Unfortunately, this may not be the most attractive looking bra, but it will help to prevent breast damage.
It is best to wear a soft-cup (wire-free) bra while exercising, as underwires can dig in, causing rubbing, irritation and discomfort. Underwires can also damage your breast tissue.
Tips for choosing a spotrts bra...... » Look for a high-cut, full-cup bra with strong sides, a wide back and adjustable straps.» Choose fabrics like Lycra or Coolmax. These will draw the perspiration away from your skin, allowing it to breathe.» Check that your bra sits flat against your skin.

Bra Fitting Info
Are You Wearing the Correct Bra Size? Your body and your looks suffer when you have a bra fitting improperly. Did you know eight out of ten women wear incorrect bra sizes? It's true. As we go through life, our bodies change. When we lose or gain weight, have a baby, or simply age, we may find our bras no longer fit. One Hanes Place is dedicated to helping women find the right bra sizes. At our L'eggs Hanes Bali Playtex Factory Outlet Stores, all our sales associates are Certified Bra Fit Consultants. That means they're specially trained to help you determine your bra size and find your proper bra fit. They'll even help you find specific bra styles just right for your shape and lifestyle. Measuring Bra Sizes: How to Get Your Proper Bra Fitting Visit our stores today for your expert private bra fitting. It's free. It's confidential. It takes just a few minutes. And no appointment is ever needed. If you prefer to measure your bra size yourself, just follow our simple instructions on how to measure bra size. Tips to Help You Determine Proper Bra Fitting Put the bra on by slipping the straps over your shoulders, leaning forward from the waist and easing your breasts into the cups. Fasten the bra on the center hook. Cups should completely contain your breasts and fit smoothly--with no bulges at the top, sides or bottom. Center seam should lie flat against your breastbone, without gaps between the cups. Your bra should be snug, not tight. You should be able to run your finger under the band in front. Check the position of the lower edge of the bottom band. The band should rest at or below your shoulder blades, and should be horizontal with the front of the bra (not riding up). The lower the back fits, the more support you get. Adjust your straps so that they stay put without pressure or cutting. Check your strap adjustment and bra’s support by sliding the straps off your shoulders. You should be able to slide off the straps without the bra’s bust support changing significantly. The underwires should fit snugly to your rib cage and not cut into your breast tissue. When you sit down, the position of the bra should not change.

Confused About Bra Fitting?
Here's the Perfect Bra Fit ChecklistAlthough it's sometimes immediately obvious that a bra you're trying on doesn't fit right, there are less obvious signs that a bra is doing absolutely nothing for your shape, or worse, is doing lots of things wrong. Even a bra that 'feels right' initially may not be giving you proper support or enhancing your shape.
Familiarity with our Perfect Fit checklist will help you choose bras that flatter and support. Take a few minutes to understand what a perfect fitting bra should look and feel like, and to recognize whether your bra is the wrong size for you.
Here is a checklist of what to look for, or download it here for printing (PDF format requires Adobe Acrobat, available here).
Smooth fitting cupsIf you don't fill out the cups, you need a smaller size. If you are "overflowing" the cups, try a larger cup size or a style with a fuller cup design. The edges of the cups should also lie flat against your breast. If there is a gap (especially with padded bras), you should go down a cup size.
Center panel lays flat against your breastbone.If it does not, this could be a sign that your cup size is too small, or the panel is not large enough to accommodate the separation between your breasts. Note: Minimizers tend to not rest against the breastbone, and this is fine.
The bottom of the bra in the front and back is parallel to the floor or slightly lower in the back.The lower edge of the band should anchor below the shoulder blades. The lower the back fits, the better the support.
Straps stay put and don't dig into your shoulders. Consider a different bra style with straps closer together if straps keep falling. A smaller band size should reduce the strap's strain on your shoulders.
Cup fabric should be stableThe fabric should give support as well as a good breast shape.
An underwire should encircle your breast. It shouldn't poke, protrude or pinch.
Good breast upliftThe apex of your breasts should be mid-way between your shoulders and your elbows. Uplifted breasts look more youthful and give a slimming appearance.
Breasts face the front and do not sag or fall to the sides. This breast position allows you to freely swing your arms.
A finger can be run under the front band. Your bra should be snug, but not too tight. If it's tight, you need a larger band size or a looser hook placement.
Feels comfortable when sitting. Our ribcages tend to expand when we are seated. If you're not sure your band is big enough, this quick test will answer your concern.
Consider an alteration. Still not the perfect fit? We alter our clothes for a better fit, why not a bra? One woman in our office really measures to a 35 band size. She therefore buys a 36D and has a dart put in at the sides.
An important point when zeroing in on your correct bra size is that when you try on a bra and go one cup size larger, you are keeping the band size the same and increasing your bust line by 1". However, when you go up a band size (keeping the cup size the same) you are increasing your band circumference by 2" AND increasing your bust line circumference by 2" as well. The point here is that changing a cup size within a band size is fine-tuning your bra size. Changing a band size is a much more significant size change.

Bra fitting guide
Finding the right size bra is often a trouble for many women; estimates are that about 80% of women wear the wrong size bra. This is not healthy for your breasts - especially if breasts are in too tight a bra.
Let your breasts have free time from bras daily - it's best to have spend more than 12 hours of your day bra-free. This will help the lymph flow inside your breasts. And when choosing a bra, try get yourself fitted by a professional.
A part of these bra fitting tips below have been submitted to us by a professional bra fitter.
What to know about getting a bra fitting:The band size (or chest size) is the number part of your bra size. The cup size is the letter part. EX: if you are in a 36 B, then 36 is the band and B is the cup. You are not going to get as good of a measurement as someone else would by measuring yourself. Let someone else measure you. A measurement CAN be done over the bra you are wearing AND over your T-shirt. If you plan on getting fitted, don't wear a thick shirt like a sweatshirt or sweater. If you have large and/or sagging breasts, then when the person is taking your band measurement, you should pull up on your bra's shoulder straps so that she can get the measuring tape under your breast for an accurate measurement.EX: I had 2 different sale ladies "fit" me a year ago. One did not have me pull up on my straps and told me I was a 44DD. The size seemed to work but I was messing with my bra all day long and the wire kept poking me. I went back and a second lady "fitted" me and had me pull up on my straps and came out with a 40 DDD, which turned out to be my "true" size. The wire stopped hurting me and I stopped messing with my bra while I wore it. If you wear a bra with padding or stuff your bra, then you are not going to get an accurate measurement. If you plan on getting fitted, wear a bra without padding. Not all fittings will tell you the "right" size, but will give you a good place to start at usually. Try on different styles of bras. Every style fits and feels different and can "shape" your breast differently. Don't rush trying on bras. Really pay attention to how they fit and feel. Go bra shopping when you know you have the TIME for it. Many women have had to take up to an hour or more trying on several different sizes and styles to find the bra that gave them the fit and feel they wanted. If your bra fits correctly, it should NOT be painful or uncomfortable to wear.
