Why? Do we know what we are doing to ourselves?
A bra that doesn't fit properly can cause pain in the shoulders, neck and back because of poor posture. A bra that doesn't fit properly can cause you to develop irritation and soreness of the breasts as they rub together.
A bra that doesn't fit properly can make even the best outfit look terrible!!
So how do we fix it?
There are hundreds of sites on the internet that will guide you through how to take measurements to find your perfect bra size. But size alone will not guarantee that you have a good fit.
So...tips to keep in mind when determining how to fit a bra properly:
- If your bra band goes across your shoulder blades, it doesn't fit. The band should be sitting level all the way around.
- When you try on a bra, lift your arms. Check to see if you are popping out the bottom...a sure sign of a bad fit. The same goes for the top of the cup. There is nothing sexy about having a double boob caused by a too small cup!
- Actually come to think...lift your arms...bend over...jump up and down...stop laughing I'm serious! These are movements that women do every day so consider this a test drive for the new bra and a bit of incidental exercise.
- Underwire was not created to torture women...I know that's hard to believe. Underwire needs to sit flat against your ribcage and it needs to be flat on your ribs under your arms.
- A new bra should fit comfortably on the loosest hook. Everything stretches with age so if you buy a bra that is already on the tightest hook...you have nowhere to go.
- If you need to go up or down a back size make sure that you change the cup size because an E is not necessarily an E. What do I mean? If the back strap size goes down you need to go up a cup size...if the back strap size goes up you need to go down a cup size.
And finally...
- If you have a bra that fits properly and passes all of the tests above, it will lift your breasts out of your waist and will help you to stand up straight. This will make you look taller, slimmer and sexier!! Now that you've determined how to fit a bra properly, you just need to find the right style of clothing that will suit your breast size to look your absolute best!
