Finding the perfect bra can make all the difference in comfort, support and appearance. Unfortunately, a large percentage of women wear bras that do not fit properly, which can lead to discomfort, back pain, and even poor posture. Proper bra fitting is essential to ensure that your bra provides the support you need and makes you feel confident and comfortable. Here are some tips to help you find the perfect fit:
Measure your band size: To determine your band size, measure around your ribcage, just under your bust. Ensure the measuring tape is level and parallel to the floor.
Measure your bust size: To determine your bust size, measure around the fullest part of your bust, with the tape measure resting on top of your bust.
Determine your cup size: Subtract your band size from your bust size. The difference in inches determines your cup size. For example, if the difference is 1 inch, your cup size is A; 2 inches, B; 3 inches, C, and so on.
Try on different sizes: Try on different sizes and styles to determine the best fit for you. When trying on a bra, make sure that the band is snug and fits comfortably around your ribcage. The cups should completely encase your bust and there should be no spillage or gaping.
Pay attention to the straps: The straps should fit comfortably and not dig into your shoulders. If the straps are too tight, the band will have to support the majority of the weight, leading to discomfort.
Check the back of the bra: The back of the bra should be parallel to the floor and not ride up. A band that rides up is too loose and will not provide proper support.
By following these tips and taking the time to properly fit a bra, you can ensure that you have the support and comfort you need to feel confident and comfortable every day.
