We tried to come up with some jokes about bouncing breasts for this post, but found most of them to be too juvenile and tasteless, so we'll skip the snark and just give you the facts.
Many of our female readers know first hand that jogging or doing any other physical activity can leave your breasts bouncing around semi-uncontrollably, even in the best of sports bras. And while many of our male readers might enjoy the spectacle, it can actually be quite painful and even lead to permanent nerve damage in the shoulders of women with larger breasts.
A new fabric with sensors built in is letting undergarment designers test bras for strain and support. The new technology is helping pinpoint areas of particular pressure and adjust designs accordingly to minimize bounce and stress on problem areas.
It will of course take a little while for the new designs built on research done with the "smart bras" to trickle out to the consumer, but women can look forward to an athletic future with less pain.
