 The average woman owns about six bras, but unfortunately, most of them probably are not the best fitting bras. According to a recent episode of Oprah, up to eighty five percent of all women do not wear the right brassiere.
Since it is time for spring cleaning, then let us all take this opportunity to sweep the cob webs from our lingerie drawer. The key to finding the perfect fitting bra is to get properly measured. Any lingerie store or bra department will gladly fit you free of charge. However, if you choose to fit yourself, be sure to measure using a flexible measuring tape while wearing either a non-padded bra that fits decently or without one at all.
Two measurements are necessary, the first being around the part of your ribcage that is directly underneath your breasts, which is your band size. The next measurement is around your breasts at their fullest point, which is probably at the nipple, for determining your bust size. To find your cup size, then simply subtract your band size from your bust size. The remaining number
corresponds with your cup size such as anything less than one is a AA, one being an A, two being a B, three being a C, four being a D, and so on.
If your bra fits properly, then it should never leave marks anywhere on your back, shoulders, or breasts, nor should the straps or cups ever sag or pucker. Though bra sizing is universal, not all bras are created equal. If you suspect that you are part of the eighty five percent of women wearing ill fitting boulder holders, then trying to adjust your straps, cup size, band size, or even switching brands until you find a style that works well for your needs.
Besides finding the proper fit, you will want to purchase the proper style for the clothes you wear. Different types of bras will shape breasts in a variety of ways. For instance, when hanging out with Grandpa, the girls should not be hanging out of your push-up bra. This is where a full coverage bra will do the trick.
Push-up bras are strategically designed to thrust the breasts upwards and inwards, which will create the coveted cleavage crack that so many men love. This type of bra is best for v-neck sweaters and evening dresses when you are trying to bring sexy back. In professional settings or when you want the focus on your face and not your fabulous chest is the worst time to wear this type of bra.
Wired bras have an under wire that helps breasts lift and separate. They are best when you want a little oomph. The wiring is taken too far, giving your chest less of a robust feel and more of a robot look is the worst time to wear a wired bra. A t-shirt bra has extra padding that will conceal erect or dark nipples, while the lack of seams and lace make for smooth sailing under shirts. These are best when you are looking for that natural look of shape without bumps or lumps. When you are trying to recreate the Tara Reid nipple-slip. This would prove impossible, as this bra is the James Bond of brasseries and is not going to reveal anything, even under blinding lights or intense pressure.
