There are certain types of clothing that can be worn whether they fit or not. Just look at jeans and how kids in particular wear them. Unfortunately, this is not the case with bras. There is no other piece of clothing that women complain about more than there bras.
The first thing to understand about your bra problems is you may be the problem. Huh? Most of us have the wrong impression on how our bras are supposed to work. A bra is supposed to support our breast. This support is supposed to come primarily from the bottom of the bra, not the top. Your straps should not hold the breasts up like a hanging plant! Instead, the band running around the bottom of the bra should do most of the heavy lifting. Get just this one thing right and your bra will feel much more comfortable.
The second thing to understand is the proper way to wear a bra. Yes, we all know the front from the back, but what about placement? Many women get the bra band placement wrong. Your band should run around the bottom edge of your breasts. That is easy. Once the band wraps around your back, however, it should remain at the same level as on your chest. Most women yank their straps up and the bra rides up their back. This causes problems with the band and can lead to headaches as well as back, shoulder and neck pain. Make sure to pull the bra down your back so it is parallel to the band on your chest.
A third area where problems occur is the bra digs into your arms or in the area of your arm pit. The reason is typically that you are wearing the wrong cup size. If the bra tends to flair out and aggravate the inside of your arms, the cup is too small. Go up a size. If the bra digs into the inside of your arm pit, the cup is too big. Go down a size. It should be noted that the shape of your breast can also be an issue here. If a cup size change does not work, you may need a different style of bra.
When you wear a bra, does it pull away from your chest? This very common problem is a symptom of one thing – you are wearing a cup size that is too small. Go up a size and see how it fits. You’ll be shocked how much better the fit will be as well as your comfort level.
A final issue to consider when getting the perfect bra fit is time. Specifically, when was the last time you were measured for a bra? If it has been more than six months and definitely if it has been more than a year, your body has changed and you are referencing a bra size that simply does not fit anymore. Do a measurement or get a professional one done and then try shopping for bras using that new sizing. It could make a world of difference.
