Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why are breast injuries a concern for female athletes?

    The breast’s superficial capillary network makes it highly prone to bruising and blood clots after impact.

  • Why do my breasts hurt when running?

    Breast pain from running is usually linked to excessive bounce, which strains the skin, ligaments, and fascia inside the breast.

  • How old do you have to be to wear Boob Protect?

    There is no age minimum. We do recommend any girl playing contact sports with or without breast development to wear the inserts as they will protect even the flat chested from potential injury to the breast bud.

  • Can they protect against full contact?

    Yes! That’s the point!

  • What happens if I get a deep breast bruise?

    Deep bruising can cause fat necrosis, which forms lumps that sometimes mimic breast cancer. This often requires stressful and painful tests to confirm a diagnosis.

  • What size am I?

    Refer to our size chart, it’s very simple to follow.

    If in store, simply hold the inserts over your breast. If fits & is comfortable then that’s your size!

  • I have large breasts, will they fit?

    Of course, we cater for a majority of breast sizes, from tiny to huge!

  • Will I sweat with them on?

    Just like any close-fitting garment, if you tend to perspire during activity, you may experience some moisture. However, our inserts feature strategically placed breathable vents specifically designed to maximize airflow and minimize heat buildup, keeping you comfortable.

  • Are they comfortable?

    Very! They support as well as protect. No compression. Females love jogging in them because of the added support.

  • How long do they last?

    They last until you lose them or require a new size. Our broad size range allows for breast growth and we have purposely done this to avoid wastage & impact on our precious environment.

  • Can breast injuries affect development in young girls?

    Yes. In pre-menarchal (before first period) girls, breast trauma may lead to deformities or asymmetry as the breast develops.

  • Could breast injuries impact breastfeeding later in life?

    Possibly. Damage to milk ducts may impair the ability to breastfeed in the future.
