The abbreviation MODY stands for "Movement" and "Dynamic" and makes it possible to measure the support of a sports bra. In addition to testing individual sports bras in one size, we also test several bras in a size range. We also compare your bras with other products on the market (benchmarking).

For the test, we use a specially developed torso from our in-house 3D print shop. The breast is mouldable. We are able to test different cups and sizes. During the test, the breast can be moved in all directions (up/down, right/left, forwards/backwards) and the support can be analysed.

Testing the support of sports bras provides objective and reproducible results, without human influence. On request, we can supplement the test results with benchmarking data obtained from tests of other products available on the market. As a manufacturer or brand, you benefit from these advantages:

Hohenstein has decades of comprehensive expertise in fit and pattern development. This ranges from determining current body data as part of numerous serial measurements to the traditional optimisation of patterns and fit testing using an extensive pool of test subjects. At the same time, we support companies in digital product development with the help of 3D simulation software.

Based on this expertise, the testing of the support level of sports bras is combined with a fit test. By optimising patterns, breast movement can be reduced. In addition, the area of application and target group are decisive for good bra support.Here, Hohenstein offers the clothing industry services from a single source that are unique on the market.

Yes, the focus and strength of the laboratory test with our MODY test device is on sports bras, as the method is primarily designed to determine the reduction in movement. However, the test device is open to all products and testing of other clothing products is possible.
