If you find yourself with a uni-boob, or breast bulging were there should be no boob, it’s a clear sign that you aren’t wearing a bra that fits right. No matter what size of breasts you have, or if you have new breast implants, a good fitting bra can always enhance your figure.
So what do you need to do to get a good fitting bra?
You can’t look for a good bra fit until you understand what is considered a good fit. 70% of women are wearing a bra that’s the wrong size. If you wear a bra that your breasts bulge out of, you’ll look out of shape and sloppy. It has the same affect as wearing clothing that is too tight. A bra that fits properly will make you look slimmer and much more put together.
Besides, a good fitting bra goes deeper than vanity. If incorrectly fitted, it can restrict the blood flow and when that occurs, there are health risks including breast cancer.
Like with clothing, we all have our own bra favorites when it comes to fabric, fashion, and style. But just because it covers, doesn’t make it comfortable or a good fit.
A bra that fits properly, won’t ride up on your back, nor will the straps fall off your shoulder.
1. The cups should fit all the way around the breast with the band.
2. The center front should sit on or very near your breastbone.
3. The band should be wide enough so that the breasts are held securely in place. The cup fabric should hold the breast in place.
4. The larger your breasts the heavier that material will need to be.
There are many different bra cuts, and this really is a personal choice, often dependent on what you will be wearing. For example, a low cut dress likely won’t work with a full cover bra. And, the type of fabric can make a big difference in the comfort of the bra.
The fullest part of your breasts should fall around the middle point between your shoulders and elbows.
1. Lean forward and let your breasts gently fall into the cups and fasten the closure.
2. It should close on the middle fasteners.
3. Your bottom band should be snug but comfortable with no digging or rubbing.
Too loose a band will rise up. The bra cup needs to be large enough to cover your breast and it also needs to be deep enough. If it isn’t, your breast may spill out, and it won’t provide adequate support.
Sometimes it pays to stay with brand names. The is especially true if you are on average a B cup or bigger because you need proper support that some of the cheaper more inferior bras simply cannot provide.
A good fitting bra is as important as a good fitting pant or good fitting shoes. And when the “girls” are well dressed, it helps to improve your overall appearance. It’s the foundation upon which all else is built!
