Lisa Sorrentino, the Head Boob at X-chrom.com, recently gave me some great tips on how to know if your running sports bra was dead. With this information, you can know when you its time to get a new sports bra.

When's the last time you checked your favorite running sports bra for signs of deterioration?

A. Periodically check your bra for these signs of deterioation:
  1. Your sports bra stretches vertically.
  2. The fabric of your running sports bra is starting to pill.
  3. The fit of your sports bra seems to be too loose or too big, but your measurements have not changed.
