The U.S. Army recently announced prototypes designed to 'support' America's female soldiers where they need it: their bust lines.
"Currently, there are no bras optimized for use by female soldiers in the field," according to the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center in a press release that was shared with Fox News Digital.
This is why the DEVCOM Soldier Center is now developing "modernized prototype sports bras" — items that "are customized to the form, fit and function needed by female soldiers in field training and combat environments," the Soldier Center also noted in the press release.Compression style sports bras work by compressing breasts to the chest, reducing bounce during movement.
As the author of "The Bra Book," a national bestseller, I tackled the topic of intimate apparel from a journalistic standpoint. I wanted to get to the bottom of what really works for women, and what doesn’t, for the Army's new mission. Soldiers are also given a monetary allowance to purchase name-brand sports bras offered at its base stores .
One 24-year-old Army veteran from Mentor, Ohio, personally experienced the discomfort. She said boot camp was even harder with the current military-issued bra. Other challenges include the possibility that, like millions of other women, soldiers enlist without actually knowing their bra size.
