It is advisable to wear good supporting bra during exercise, running, jogging and pregnancy. Small breasts can be enhanced with the help of highly padded bras. Flat well padded under cup wiring with wide elasticized straps that give support to the centers of the breast, should be used by women with heavy breast.
