What activities is the Jog Kokoon+ post-mastectomy sports bra made for?
The support of this post-breast cancer sports bra is adapted for all sports, including running, which involves greater impacts on the bust.
It has been tested in our labs with sensors to measure the acceleration of the breasts during movements such as walking, running, and jumping.
How has the Jog Kokoon+ high-support post-mastectomy sports bra been designed for freedom of movement?
Getting back to sport might be a real breath of fresh air for you, and more than ever, you need to feel free to move. This is why we've added elastane to the fabric that this sports bra is made from. Stretchier, it moves with you without getting in your way. The muscle back on this sports bra also helps to free the shoulder blades for greater ease of movement in the arms.
What details make the Jog Kokoon+ high-support post-mastectomy sports bra so comfortable?
We've designed all the adjustments on this sports bra in the front. The front opening makes it easy to put on. The front clasps allow you to adjust the circumference. Finally, the shoulder adjustments help improve your comfort at the shoulders. On top of all that, the soft fabric and lack of seams on the inside respect your skin's sensitivity and make this sports bra feel like a second skin.
How do you place a prosthesis into the Jog Kokoon+ high-support post-mastectomy sports bra?
A pocket on each side of the sports bra allows you to easily slip in a mammary prosthesis.
Why is it important to protect the breasts during exercise?
Exercising means exposing the breasts, fragile and mainly supported by skin, to impacts that are much more significant than in your daily life. Regardless of your cup size or age, they're subjected to movements and bouncing that can create a force of up to five times their weight, depending on the intensity of the exercise. A sports bra provides support, comfort, and protection while protecting them from impacts, pain, and premature sagging.
