The Importance of Buying a Good Bra

For such a vital part of their womanhood, you'd think that women would know how to treat them better. They are, literally, right out there in front of them. The topic of discussion is of course, breasts; and it is amazing how so many women wear the wrong bra size. Perhaps it is because it is an intimate task and women rush through grabbing any bra they think is their size. However, having solid underwear support is important for looking good on the outside as well.

The most common mistake one observes is that the band of the bra is too tight for the ribs. This squeezes the body and the flesh overflows. Even though the underwear is on the inside, the outcome is clearly visible on the outside. This is unflattering to the body as it creates fat rolls on the back and underarms which won't be a problem to the individual given the right bra size. Furthermore, the breasts also should not be overflowing out of cups unless it's a semi-cup bra. If they are, it is a sign to increase in cup size.

Having a good bra can uplift what time has dragged down. Sagging breast should not be hanging at the waist. In addition, a padded or push up bra can enhance what Mother Nature forgot. For those who are more endowed, perhaps extra under-wire support is required. For the athletic type, a lightweight bra will support and control the movement of the breasts and also wick away the moisture. Finally, above utility, some bras are designed to be feminine and alluring. Therefore, whether the bra is for fashion or functionality, and perhaps both, a woman needs to find the right sized bra to fit her needs.

Finding a good bra is not a trivial task as explained above, nor should expenses be spared. It is one of the basic foundations of a woman's wardrobe. To find a good bra fit, the woman must be measured for size instead of just "guestimating". Also, as breasts sizes change in pregnancy and during nursing, women should be re-measured again during these times. The measuring tape should measure the peaks of the breasts and also the rib cage. The measurements are then subtracted to get the cup size. For each inch difference is a cup size. For example, one inch difference is an A, two inches is a B, etc. Having the correct measurements is half the battle. The fit has to be right for the body type as well. Moving about and stretching is encouraged when trying on different bras. If these tips are followed, more women should be able to find the correct bra fit.
