Getting the right size
Do you find that
:
-
Your bra rises up
at the back, thus not supporting the weight of your bust
-
Your shoulders are
being pulled forward
-
Your bust is not
properly supported and falls forward instead of being in its
central position
-
As you move your
bust bounces up and down and the straps keep falling off unless
you tighten them in which case they dig into your flesh, causing
stretchmarks.
If you answered ‘yes’ to any or all of these it
is most probable that you are wearing a bra with too large an
underband and too small a cup and you may well be experiencing, or
experience in the future, both shoulder and neck pains.
In addition because your breast is bigger than
the cup it pushes against the sides of the bra. For an underwired
style, this could be harmful as well as extremely uncomfortable.
Remember ... the breasts should always fit accurately ; the cups
should be just right, not too big but deep enough to contain the
whole of the breast.
To make sure you have the right size, check that
:
-
The back of your
bra does not ride up otherwise the underband may be too big and
you could need a smaller size.
-
Your bra straps are
not falling down or digging into your shoulders. If they are,
you may need to adjust them or use wider straps or use shoulder
savers
-
Your flesh does not
squeeze over the top of your bra. If it does but feels fine
everywhere else, the cup size is too small.
-
The middle of your
bra lies as flat as possible against your breastbone for a
comfortable fit.
-
Your finger can
pass under the band in front. Your bra should be comfortable but
not tight, otherwise you need a larger band size or you must
fasten your bra at the next looser hook.
To get the right results, however, it is very
important that you wear your bra correctly. We therefore recommend
that you follow the following steps when putting on your bra :
-
Put your hands
through the straps so that the straps are over your shoulders
-
Bend forwards from
the waist and adjust your breast position so that they are
completely within the cup with the nipples being at the fullest
point within the cup.
-
The hooks should
then be fastened at the middle position
-
Stand up and adjust
the straps so that the breasts are at the right level.
-
Make sure that the bra does not rise at
the back and is comfortable without being too tight.
