Breast health : The wrong bra


Wearing the wrong bra can damage womens breasts according to health experts. if your bra selection is wrong it may lead to the fragile ligaments being stretched.

During exercise, your boobs move up and down, in and out, and from side to side. It is said that boobs move approximately 21 cm during exercise. Most of the bras are designed in such a way that it limits just vertical movement. For many women, wrong bra causes breast pain. Wrong bra makes women feel discomfort.

This is because they don’t buy right sized bra. There are many sports bra that do up at the back. Traditional bras are really good in supporting women. Some women who want their boobs to look big opt for wrong bras which doesn’t fit according to their breast size. You should always select a bra according to your breast size.

Many women are unaware that they are wearing the wrong bra. Changing shape and size of their breasts will change their bra size over their life time, mainly after menopause. The same case also happens during breastfeeding.

The selection of bra plays a very important role in breast health. One of the most precious assets a woman has is properly formed and shaped breasts. If you select a bra which is not your cup size, the shape of your boobs will be distorted and will finally lead to sagging. It is not recommended to wear tight fit bras as it will lead you to have scar around your breasts. It seriously affects your skin. While buying bra, measure your breast size. A perfect bra will give a good shape to your breast and it will not damage your breast.

  1. So what's d best way to determine your bra size then cos most ladies buy bras that they think 'fit', whereas there's supposed to be a measurement for knowing your up size.

  2. for band size have someone measure around your chest with a tape measure, just under your breasts, and around the back. Make sure the tape measure rests flat on the skin and goes straight across your back.

    If you end up with an odd number, go up to the next even number, since bras usually only come in even-numbered band sizes.

    As always, try the bra on, and let that be the final determining factor. If the bra band rides up on your back, the band is too large (loose) and you need to go down in the band size.

    for cup size : Have someone measure you again, this time the measuring tape goes on top of the fullest part of your breasts.Record this number, and find the difference between that, and the band-size number. information continues on this website http://www.007b.com/bra-fitting.php
