4 tips: saving breasts from the wrong bra
Experts have identified 4 main signs that say you are wearing the wrong bra.
Research shows that nearly 80% of women wear an incorrectly fitting bra and experience daily discomfort. As noted by Triumph expert Paula Svoboda, many girls want to wear bras without underwire, because the wire presses on the breast tissue. But the point is not at all in the presence of an underwire, but in an incorrectly selected bra. Yes, it can be your usual size, which you know very well. But there is also form.
In addition, the figure of a woman is constantly changing, so you cannot wear the same size for years. By the way, experts note that the service life of lingerie is six months to a year if you wear it often enough (2-3 times a week). Then it is imperative to change it, even if it seems that your bra is still quite nothing: the underwear stretches, its shape changes, which affects comfort in general and health in particular. Also, do not buy laundry and put it in a box. It must be worn because the elastic fibers are dying. So give up the idea of putting this very beautiful kit off until a special occasion. Better to go to the store again.
By the way, it is best to entrust the selection of lingerie to a professional bra-fitter. They understand women’s sizes, shapes and can choose the most suitable one for your figure.
Check, is your bra the right size?
Experts have identified 4 main symptoms that indicate that you are wearing the wrong bra size:
1. Bones press on the chest.
2. The “belt” of your bra is pulled up on the back (which means that the bra is too big for you).
3. The straps fall off the shoulders (it means that the bra is too big in the diaphragm).
4. In the evening, you feel pain in the neck and back (the chest has a certain weight, which affects the spine).
How to choose the right size
Consider the following points when shopping for new lingerie.
- The bra belt should sit tightly (two fingers pass between the body and the fabric) and evenly, not bulge on the back or bounce.
- The bones should be on the ribs. The chest should not pop out from below. If this happens, then the cup is small and the belt is large. Raise your hands up – if the belt remains in place (the chest does not look out from under it), this is your size.
- The cup fits the entire chest. If the cups are wrinkled, then the size is large. If the breasts fall out of the cup to the side, change the shape of the bra, this one is not yours.
- The bridge between the cups should rest on the body between the breasts. If there is a distance between her and the body, change the bra (try a smaller amount of the belt).
- The shoulder straps should not dig into the shoulders. And they should not subside – otherwise the bra is too big for you.
