Let’s face it, we just can’t move without them; you know the dread that comes when you open your gym bag and realize you’ve forgotten your beloved sports bra. But what you may not realize is that you should be refreshing your sports bra drawer with some degree of frequency. Otherwise, they stretch out and lose their shape and support.
