Today I've chosen the topic of Bra Fitting... did you know that over half of women wear the wrong bra size?! and don't actually know how to put on a bra properly... and also don't know what a good fitting bra is suppose to feel and look like?!
I chose to call this post lumps and bumps because... well simples... lumps and bumps come as a result of bad bra usage!
a good bra may not be pretty but you can assure yourself you won't get those unsightly lumps and bumps. You will have better posture and also better fitting clothes!
if you have a really good bra it can help you trim a few inches here and there too! :D
why wouldn't you want to have a good fitting bra?! well there are a few things to know about such a wonderful bra...
There expensive and there not very attractive! >.< But wearing unsightly underwear under a T Shirt or under some work clothes for 8 hours a day isn't so bad right if your able to have a better figure, better posture and a smaller clothing size?!
take a look at the picture above... i know its slightly extreme and most of us do not have breasts like that... but the effects of an ill fitting bra can have horrible effects on your body! Imagine what it would be like to wear clothing on top of the lumps and bumps?!
Not attractive right?!
so in order to find the correct bra, you should go and get measured professionally! Don't just buy a bra because you think it will fit! Its important to try on!
So... my guide to buying the perfect bra!
1. Go into an underwear store and get measured by someone professionally!
2. Choose some bras which you think you will be comfortable wearing
3 TRY ON YOUR BRAS!!! - this is very important that you don't just get measured and then buy the bra because it is your size. like humans bras can come in various cups and sizes according to the brand name so beware!!!
4. When trying on your bra make sure that it is comfortable and that you are wearing it correctly!
Now buying a correct bra and buying a bra which fits is a completely different thing! for one a bra has to have enough support in order to prevent strain injury to your back.
so how do you know the bra is correct?!
1. when you have fitted the straps correctly you should be able to put only a pen or finger between the strap and yourself any looser and the bra is not on correctly any tighter and it is too tight!
2. it is best to buy bras with a full cup instead of a half cup. This gives you more support and trust me really helps with the whole better figure issue!
3. I know bras with dinky straps and little backs are cute and sexy and look nice but did you know that these bras actually don't have enough support?! and don't actually help with posture or anything else for that matter! try to avoid those bras!
4. you should make sure that the back of your bra is horizontal on your back! if it goes up or down then you are wearing your bra incorrectly! Who knew there was so much knowledge to wearing underwear!
5. your bra should not make your skin or flesh lumpy. Your bra should fit perfectly like a glove! if you find you have bits hanging over your bra then it is too small and you should consider a bigger bra!
This is what a good fitting bra should look like!
I know it is not the most attractive but if it will help you trim some inches are you willing to give up the slinky underwear in favour of it?! I know I am!
just one more thing, its surprising how many people wear there bra to bed! Its not healthy and it restricts blood flow and also restricts growth! So people... you should only be wearing it for a maximum of 8 hours a day!
If your wearing a good bra you will see some change in your posture and body shape within a matter of weeks!
Happy underwear shopping!
