A study from Portsmouth University proved that over 80% of women are wearing their wrong size. Although, from our experience, we believe it's even higher than this.
The reason for this is three-fold:
- Women are not getting fitted often enough when they buy a new bra. Not realising they've changed sizes.
- Older department stores are putting women in their wrong sizes. They often unnecessarily add 2 or 4 inches onto your bock measurement to determine your back size. There's no need to do this in this day and age.
- Many of us treat our bra size like a shoe size. We think we only need to get measured once and feel that's our size for life. It's not at all, we can change more frequently than we think!

MAAREE was launched in Dec 2018 by a professional sports bra tester called Mari. She was a keen sportswoman herself who couldn't find her right sports bra. After testing sports bras under laboratory conditions for some of the biggest brands, she decided to take the plunge (excuse the pun) and design her own.
Therefore MAAREE was founded on engineering principles, rather than fashion ones. Mari not only wanted to deliver the best performing sports bras, but help to share as much knowledge about this topic as she could to help empower all women to find their right support.
