The Sisterhood of the Traveling Bra: Lifting Adventures

Share

Ever gone on a trip and realized you packed the wrong bras for that horseback riding adventure or pickleball match? Painful mistake!!!

A friend of mine (we’ll call her Sarah to protect the unsupported) came back from a romantic getaway to Mexico with her boyfriend and immediately called me. Not to gush about the sunsets, the margaritas, or the dreamy beach walks—but to confess her massive packing mistake.


Sarah had packed push-up bras for “nice vacation vibes” and ONE comfy pullover sports bra for lounging. She figured she was set. She figured wrong.


Push-Up Perils & Pullover Problems

The first disaster? Pickleball.

Sarah and her boyfriend had a fun little couples competition planned at the resort courts, but what she didn’t plan for was her push-up bra trying to escape the match.

“Brigitte, I swear my boobs were moving more than the ball,” she told me. “Every time I jumped or reached, I had to stop and fix them. It was NOT cute.”

She finished the game—barely—but her boyfriend won, mostly because she was too busy readjusting. 🫣🎾


Then came the horseback riding excursion. 🐎

Sarah imagined herself riding along the beach, wind in her hair, looking like a movie star. Instead, she was bouncing uncontrollably, holding onto the saddle with one hand and her chest with the other. The pullover sports bra she thought would be comfy? Useless. Zero support. And the humidity made it cling to her skin like a wet swimsuit.

By the end of the ride, she wasn’t feeling romantic—she was chafed, sweaty, and swearing she’d never leave the country without a good sports bra again. πŸ˜…πŸŒ΄

The Sisterhood of Smart Packers

Sarah learned her lesson the hard way, but she’s not alone. We’ve all been there. Packing bras that seem fine, only to find out they betray you the moment you move.

So take it from Sarah (and me!):
βœ”οΈ Pack at least two sports bras—one to wear, one to rinse.
βœ”οΈ Skip the push-up for anything active. Trust me.
βœ”οΈ Choose moisture-wicking, quick-dry fabrics—because sweat is real.
βœ”οΈ If you have space, the ENELL RACER is a game-changer.

Life’s too short for bad bras, sweaty regrets, and losing at pickleball because of a wardrobe malfunction. Pack smart. Play hard. Look great doing it. βœˆοΈπŸ‘™πŸ–οΈ

πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Why I Love Canadian Women. Let’s get one thing straight… I don’t sell bras to the world. I sell bras to Canadian women. Why? Because we’re a different breed entirely — and I mean that in the best, most maple-syrup-fuelled, strong-soft, snow-shovelling, world-conquering kind of way. And I know this because I’ve seen it — I didn’t just create sportsbras.ca , I also created Women Talk, where I’ve heard the most raw, honest, powerful stories from women coast to coast. From tiny towns to big cities, I’ve seen what Canadian women are made of… and let me tell you — we are SO much stronger, softer, grittier, and more powerful than we even realize. Canadian Women: The Strong, Soft North We are the Strong, Soft North — soft when it comes to kindness, compassion, and probably our addiction to Tim Hortons… but strong in every way that counts. We’ll bake you muffins, lend you a snow scraper, cheer you on at your kid’s soccer game… but underestimate us? Big mistake. Huge. We’ve got grit in our veins, strength in our backs, and more power in our thighs than a herd of moose in mating season. We lift each other up, we lift our communities, and yes — we expect our bras to lift us too.πŸ˜„ And that’s where I come in. Supporting Canadian Women — It’s All I Do πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ At sportsbras.ca , I’ve spent 25 years doing one thing: holding up the incredible women of this country — literally and figuratively. Whether you’re crushing it on the pickleball court, running after your toddler, hiking the Rockies, or just trying to get through Monday without a wardrobe malfunction, I’ve got you. I only sell to Canadian women — because I believe in keeping the bounce low and the standards high, right here at home. Why Canadian Women Are My Favourite People on Earth Let’s be honest — we live in the land of unpredictable weather, wild landscapes, and wilder families. We apologize too much, say "eh" without realizing it, and somehow survive winters that would make polar bears reconsider their life choices. But through it all, we stay funny, fierce, and freakishly friendly. We are tough as ice, warm as a campfire, polite as heck, and powerful beyond what even WE sometimes realize. We run companies, communities, households, trails, marathons, and our mouths when needed — all while showing up with kindness, humour, and that classic Canadian humility.

Bonjour boob lovers! It’s your favorite lift-loving globetrotter, Brigitte, fresh off a fabulous Paris escape with my two teenage daughters — and drumroll, please… we did it with carry-ons only. 😱 No checked bags. No baggage claim brawls. No 60-lb rolling suitcases slamming into cobblestones. Just three fierce femmes, three compact carry-ons, and a week of pure magic. Honestly? I deserve a croissant-shaped medal. πŸ₯βœ¨

πŸ‘‹ Picture this: You’re standing in front of your underwear drawer, clutching your favourite ENELL SPORTS bra like it’s a Timmy’s double-double on a Monday morning — pure survival gear. β˜•οΈ Now, imagine a world where that bra couldn’t make it across the border thanks to tariffs, boycotts , and enough political nonsense to make even your most underwired bra feel comfortable. Welcome to the Cross-Border Bra Crisis , my friends — a story of boobs, borders, and bureaucratic buffoonery. Tariffs, Boycotts & Boobageddon Turns out, when countries start slapping tariffs on each other like a couple of drunk uncles at a wedding, it’s not just the big corporations that feel it. It’s devastating for small businesses — like ENELL and SPORTSBRA.CA — and you know who’s going to pay the real price? πŸ‘‰ Our boobs. No ENELL SPORTS bras crossing the border means Canadian girls will be bouncing their way through horseback riding lessons, fitness classes, and Zumba sessions like a couple of caffeinated beavers . πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Without ENELL’s legendary lockdown, it’s only a matter of time before we’re forced to consider… drastic measures — like sewing together a couple of hockey jockstraps. πŸ’ That’s right — the closest thing to high-impact support made in Canada is a jockstrap. Can you imagine tucking the twins into something designed to protect an entirely different set of equipment? 😳
