Take the Bounce Test

Monday September 24, 2007
bounce test"Uh, you might want to wear a jogging bra," my husband recommended after seeing me in a horse show (if you think jogging causes jiggle, you should try trotting on a horse.) Sadly, I was wearing a high-impact bra at the time of the bouncing incident. It just wasn't supportive enough. After researching sports bras and seeing some athletes resort to wearing two jog bras (no thanks!), I came across the Enell bra which was recommended by Oprah and Drew Barrymore.

What I could've used in my search: first-hand bouce tests, like lingerie site HerRoom.com (click on Videos) is now offering. These videos show a 34D model jogging in each of their bras -- from different angles -- so you can get a much better idea of how much bounce you'll get from each. How smart is this?! Of course, my beloved Enell is featured (it was awarded an "Undie Award" by the site). (Photo Credit: HerRoom.com)

I couldn’t agree more! I love, love, LOVE my Enell bras!! They are absolutely every penny you invest in them. As a plus size large busted woman, I thought it was impossible to get full support in my size. Enell gives the support I need, and it’s very comfortable to wear. I won’t go to the gym or play with my grandkids without wearing my Enell!
