How do I find a bra that truly fits?
ANSWER: Oprah Winfrey said it best, "The right bra will make you look 10 pounds lighter and can reverse the aging process by 10-20 years."Don't feel bad, you're not alone in your quest for the perfect bra. 85% (nine out of ten) women are currently wearing the wrong bra. An ill-fitting bra displaces breast tissue, pushing it over the chest wall or allowing it to become drooping and pendulous. Repositioning and supporting the breasts is the key. When the breast's tissue is where it's supposed to be, the breasts will look more natural and attractive. A properly-fitted bra will give you a waistline and will make you look thinner, but it will also increase your comfort and is vital to your overall breast care. Because an ill-fitting bra does not provide adequate support, it prevents proper circulation within the breast tissue. In severe cases, poor-fitting bras can cause breast tissue to separate into glandular masses.When shopping for a bra remember, the bra should not rise up in the back or be pulled down in the front. A properly-fitted bra will correct the suspension, eliminating pressure on shoulders and pain in the diaphragm area. It is imperative to be properly fitted by an expert. This fitting includes determining the proper midriff size as well as cup size. It takes at least three measurements and sometimes five to six measurements to ensure an accurate fit. A well fitted bra of good quality provides support from beneath the breasts, rather than being supported by the shoulder straps. It will encompass all the breast tissue within the support triangle of the cup, not by using wires that may gouge or bruise the breast. The fabric bra holds the breasts forward and high enough so the apex of the breast is midway between the shoulder and the elbow. There is no pressure to flatten the breast tissue or restrict circulation, and the support is firm enough to take out almost all of the motion of the breast during walking.
