Choosing correct sports tops

Avoid wearing 100% cotton T-shirts in gyms.
Pure cotton clings onto sweats and heat leading to elevated blood pressure. It is also heavy after getting soaked.

Wearing breathable tops designed for gym use can effectively wick away sweat and improve cardiovascular performance.

Choosing correct sports pants

Avoid outdoor running shorts with zip pockets which hinder gym use.

Double sleeved shorts or training leggings can reduce thighs friction and decrease the risk of skin damage.

Do not wear

Do not wear jeans or khakis, they restrict movement, retain sweat, and are easy to cause injury.

Only wear suitable running or sports shoes. Do not wear any other types of shoes.

Sports bra after breast cancer surgery

It may take up to one year for the affected area to recover after breast cancer surgery, and the skin and nerve are especially sensitive after surgery or radiotherapy. The type of wear you need may vary at different stages of treatment.

Avoid wearing underwired bras which could cause discomfort in affected areas.

Choose a high cotton content bust with soft seams. It is more comfortable on injured skin and blistered skin after treatment.

Choose a bust with full cups for prosthesis and wide shoulder straps and wide underband for full support and comfort.
