Despite the fact that bras are a common part of every woman’s wardrobe, most women still make some important mistakes when wearing them. Below are some common mistakes along with suggestions on how to correct them:...CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
1. You’re wearing the wrong cup or brand size.
It is with no doubt that the most common mistake made by many women is wearing bras that are the wrong size. When you are buying a bra, you must consider both band size and cup size. But the former is more important because the wrong band size will not support or fit your bust properly.
Ensure that you always take accurate measurements so that you will know what size to request, make sure the bra fits perfectly.
2. The straps either leave a mark or constantly slip off.
When bra straps are too tight, they leave indentations or marks on your shoulders, or they can slip off all the time if the straps are too loose. Always make sure you adjust the straps so that they are at a natural resting position.
If the mistakes persist despite the bra adjustments, you may need to go one band lower or higher, depending on the problem.
3. You are not fastening it tight.
Make sure you always fasten your bra by the outermost hook where it’s most loose and not on the innermost or tightest hook. This is especially helpful when you are trying it on for size.
As a matter of fact, experts say “a bra is going to stretch about 3 inches in its lifetime”.
4. Your bra’s underwire is uneven.
If you are wearing a bra that has a raised underwire, it is an obvious sign that it isn’t the right fit and you have to replace it with the proper sized undergarment. The bra is supposed to be nested naturally on the curves of your bust, with no bust tissue or bone pressing underneath it.
5. Your bust are spilling over the cup or the cup is becoming wrinkly.
If you notice that your bust is spilling over, you will have to replace your bra with a new and bigger cup size. However, if the cup is bunching up when you wear it, you should go down one size.
6. You have been wearing the same bra for more than a year.
It’s with no doubt that a bra that is used often will lose its support and elasticity after 8 months, in order to make the most out of this, you should have at least 7 bras you can use on rotation.
