With so many servicewomen wearing the wrong bra size, performance, comfort and long-term health are being impacted more than many realise.

Incorrect breast-load management can reduce stride length, slow acceleration, increase fatigue and raise the risk of musculoskeletal issues such as ACL injuries, postural strain and pelvic-floor dysfunction.

When you’re carrying heavy bergens, moving with body armour, or completing long, demanding duties, the right sports bra isn’t a luxury — it’s essential kit.

Supportive, adjustable bras allow you to manage changing loads and movement patterns throughout the day, helping maintain comfort, readiness and operational performance.

Prioritising correct fit protects your body, boosts capability, and supports long-term health across your career.

One of the best parts? The military actively supports women’s health by enabling servicewomen to reclaim the cost of their sports bras through their ABN. 

This ensures that accessing high-quality support doesn’t become a personal financial burden — a real step forward for women across the Army, RAF and Royal Navy.
