Nearly 8 out of 10 women are wearing the wrong bra sizes, you may wonder why? The fact is our body changes overtime and your bra sizes will varies from time to time as you gain or lose weight, exercise more or less.
If you encounter uneasiness, spillage over the back strap, tight straps or gap between your cups, it only translates one thing; you need to reconsider your bra size as you are likely wearing the wrong size.
When was the last time you change your Bra Size
Have you realized when was the last time you’ve examine your bra size? As we age, our body changes overtime and our beasts and upper part of the body are no exception. Our upper body grows thicker as we mature one good example are the back fat, muffin top and love handles.
As our body tends to expand a little bit, we need to make sure that our bra sizes don’t make us feel uncomfortable. Sometimes the band size may look too small already which means you will likely to get poked inside while wearing under wire bras.
The reason why this happens is due to the bra size is closely constrained or squeezed and the outer edge is being pulled. The under wires are likely to bend that create the points to pierce you once it is being pulled. If you happen to encounter this, it is recommended to get one size up for your bra size to see the big difference.
Sadly, we are not only confronted with the band size issue, we understand that the perkiness of our twins don’t stay that long as time goes by. As expected, the shape will naturally change every month or years as we undergo menstruation but the change of time eventually will bring out gravity to our body. As the connective tissues stretch out overtime, our breasts will tend to hang lower which causes to change the shape. Therefore, the bra size you were wearing while you were on your 20’s need a size upgrade.
How to Measure Bra Size
As the twins change, it is necessary to consider the cup size as well as the design of the bra like the balcony bra that gives more support around the bottom of the cup. For cup size, make sure that your twins fit in the cup, if there is some extra space; it means that the cup size is bigger than your actual bra size. If your twins are spilling out, it means that the cup size is way too small so getting the right cup size will get rid of your discomfort.
Plenty of women are wearing the wrong bra sizes that lead them to shoulder pain, breast discomfort, neck pain, headaches and poking. To keep yourselves free from being uncomfortable, spare some time to put on the bra you often wear and check out if the fitting is perfect and gives you comfort if not, you should invest in a new bra size that can give you the perfect fitting that you need.
