Wrong bra sizes have become so common that it is no more considered a flaw. Too tight, too loose, too big; don’t you think your breasts deserve something more than these silly sizing issues? Why give up your right to don innerwear the fits to a T?

While it may seem trivial, compromising the vitals will ultimately lead to a list of mishaps including the ones mentioned below.

Posture problem

Prolonged usage of bras of incorrect sizing will lead to back pain and serious trouble having an erect posture.

Skin Rashes

Chafing straps and biting cups can cause itching and rashes that may turn into scars or wounds if unattended over a period of time.

Shoulder Pain

Here again, both digging and falling straps are complete chaos causing your shoulders to ache irritably.

Sagging

Though bust sagging is more related to genetics and hormonal growth, there are conditions where inadequate bra support would lead to loosening of tissues.

Reduced breathability

The skin fails to breathe when your bra is restricting the air flow. Sweat accumulation is never a good sign and should be avoided at any cost.

3 easy steps to ensure the right fit

To begin with, hook on your bra and sense if there is any discomfort. This is one of the easiest ways to figure out if your intimate is being good to you. Any kind of annoyance will now need focus on where it arises from, the band, cup, or straps.

1.Band:

The most significant part of the bra that holds great potential to keep the bra in place. Being a key to proper fit, the back bands are provided with 3 to 4 columns of hook-eye closures. A little sag is fine, but, make sure you move to the next size if there is evident flabbiness on the area around your band.

2. Cups:

The next focus lies on its cups. Right from being unlined to heavy pushup padding, bra cups are huge in variety. Mentioned below are the two major issues faced with improper cup sizing.

1. Spillage: A bra cup fits well when all of the breast tissues are enclosed without a spill. Both side and front spillage is a sign of irrelevant sizing which demands an increase in cup size.
2. Gaping: Revealing bra lines are a sign of gaping ultimately caused by extra-large sizing. Not only does this give a not-so-great appeal but also leads to inadequate bust support.

3. Straps:

Your bra straps by default have rings and sliders that help with adjusting. Most lingerie brands retain a standard length which could be altered based your idea of best fit. Common concerns that one may face with bra straps are

• Chafing

The core reason for shoulder pain and rashes would boil down to straps that bite. Adjust the sliders, which are usually plastic or metal, to ensure a snug fit.

• Falling

Straps that fall are a big-time unease and disrupt the whole idea of wearing a bra. A bra holder with correct fit wouldn’t slip even during movements no matter however long you are going to keep it on.

While checking a bra’s fit isn’t rocket science, we often fail to give it that second thought. A bit of extra care would save us from regrets.
