Are you among the 80% of women who are wearing the incorrect bra size?
Research has revealed that a lack of proper breast support could lead to breast pain, which is reported by 50% of women. If you are tired of feeling uncomfortable in your bra, have a look at The Bra Guru’s advice on the do’s and don’ts of how your bra should fit.
If you consider wearing a bra as an uncomfortable experience, it’s time to consider finding your perfect fit.
Let’s take a look at how your cups fit
GAPING
This is because the cup size is too big.
Keeping your band size the same, choose a smaller cup.
BULGING
This happens when the cup is too small.
Keeping your band size the same, go up a cup size or two.
JUST RIGHT
Your breasts should be well enclosed with the cups of the bra. The cup should fit snuggly at the neck and underarms.
Now let’s see how your underband fits
RISES UP
If the back of your bra rises up, the band is too big for you. Try going down a band size but up a cup size
(for similar cup capacity)
DIGS IN
If the underband feels like it’s digging in, you need to go up to the next band size but down a cup size
(for similar cup capacity)
COMFORTABLE
The bra should be quite firm around the body and ideally fitted on the middle hook and eye.
