Advantages: Bigger breasts!

Disadvantages: ummm Bigger breasts?!

"yes!" I thought to myself...I've got him now. I circled around slowly, assessing him - seeking out the slightest move, watching his eyes... and my lips parted gently. His powerful thighs twitched. I sought to steady my breathing, my heart pounding. I wanted to feel his body again, under mine, and unleash my full womanly force that would leave him both unresistant and powerless...

His chest was heaving and chest hairs gently curved around his top - his clothing now gaped open following my sudden voracious onslaught a few moments before. My firm breasts had puzzled him as they slammed against his shoulder...which wasn't surprising really - as they were fake.

OK hands up! I was in a karate kickboxing sparring match - and my wonderful 'Dolly Partons' (my nickname for my MaxiGuard Chest Guard) had inadvertently caught him after delivering a few well aimed kicks and punches designed to incapacitate - Oh! And as to watching his eyes? Totally professional of course - you always watch their eyes - as they mirror the whole body and often allow you to predict what your opponent is going to do next . Why?...what did you think was happening?!!

Product Overview
=============
OK I knew you'd ask! The Ladies MaxiGuard Chest Guard was originally designed to provide "added confidence" to women when undertaking or competing in various contact sports.

While it can be worn for Karate Kickboxing (as I did) it can also be worn for many other types of martial arts/contact sports including fencing, cricket, rugby, boxing etc... This product has been endorsed by the World Karate Federation and is a useful - if not a critical - piece of safety clothing for women who intend to compete/spar.

The Chest Guard is essentially a high quality LDPE plastic, off white in colour, moulded into the shape of a womans upper torso and is designed to protect the breasts, side ribs and sternum - with ventilation holes provided underneath the bust area. This is not a stand-alone product as it is made to specifically fit inside the Ladies MaxiGuard Vest - so you DO need to purchase both products at the same time.

The MaxiGuard Vest is a round necked, sleeveless vest made from: 86% Tactel, 10% Lycra, 4% Nylon. The product information advises that a bra is not required.

What's LDPE plastic when it's at home?
===========================
Buggered if I knew so I looked it up - I found a website called www.sks-bottle.com/LDPEHelp.html which tells me that LDPE stands for Low Density Polyethylene. Characteristics include quote "a good resistance to chemicals, good vapor barrier, as well it tends to be stress crack resistant and lightweight" unquote. Hence they've picked the perfect material to use as a chest guard providing excellent safety features, which is lightweight with good longevity.

And for those of you who want to know what Polyethylene is (pedantic sods!), according to http://pslc.ws/macrog//pe.htm it's the most popular plastic in the world. All your plastic bottles in the bathroom are probably made from it - and it's even used to make toys, plastic bags and bullet proof vests. Technically speaking, it has the simplest structure of all commercial polymers where a molecule of polyethylene is just a long chain of atoms comprising two hydrogen atoms attached to each carbon atom. Much like:
h h h
| | |
c c c
| | |
h h h
When you have a carbon atom with a long chain of polyethylene attached to it (instead of a single hydrogen atom as shown above), then it creates what's known as "branching" - also called LDPE. Voila...now you know! ...Wake up...stay with me...the best is yet to come!!

How to use
========
Simply use the Ladies MaxiGuard Vest in much the same way as you would a normal T-shirt - then slip the Chest Guard in between two layers of cloth at the front of the Vest when you want or need protection.
The beauty of this product is that it is simple and easy to use. When your training doesn't involve "contact" then keep the Plastic Chest Guard in your sports bag. When you do need the protection it's just a matter of slipping the Chest Guard into the vest (a 2 second job!).

Cleaning
=======
After training you can put your vest in the washing machine (treat it the same as a normal t-shirt) - and then rinse or wipe your chest guard using soap and water and let it dry.

Personal Notes
===========
I found that it was useful to purchase 3 vests so I could use one, have one in the wash and have a clean one ready for my next training session - at £17.70 a time this proved quite costly but was well worth the expense in the long run. You only need to invest in one Chest Guard though.

Being a CC-D cup I also found that it was better to wear a sports bra underneath the vest - rather than just using the vest alone as advertised - as this gave me much needed added support.

I did feel a little like 'Dolly Parton' once the chest guard was inserted - and my eyes kept catching sight of my "new extra large boobs" which was a little humorous if not a tad off-putting. Never-the-less, I found this to be a fantastic product - easy to use, comfortable and did the job as intended!

Sizes and Pricing
============
I liked the website: www.black-eagle.co.uk - who sell the MaxiGuard Chest Guards for £9.20 each (available in sizes XXS, XS, 11A, 11B, S, M, MC, L or XL) and provide a choice of white or black MaxiGuard vests at £17.70 each (available in size 10, 12 or 14).

Why buy?
=======
Other than the obvious advantage of protecting your upper body and reducing the risk of trauma or injury to ribs, breasts and sternum (and avoiding pain!), many cancer websites do point out that sometimes "fat necroses" (fat breakdown) can occur within your breasts if you do receive a hard knock on them - this breakdown can then degenerate and cause hard lumps. Often a biopsy is needed to rule out malignancy...so why take the chance?!

Summary: Best product on the market!
