Unique Bras For Fitting Issues

The female body is not uniform. When it comes to undergarments, we all have unique dimensions. Heck, our girls aren't even the same size. This effectively means there is no "right" bra for all of us.

For many, a specific type of bra is the key to finding ample support and comfort. The problem is most women don't know all the bra choices available. With this in mind, let's take a look at some unique bras that can make the difference between a great fit and a poor one.

Racerback Bras

Racerback bras have straps that run up towards the neck on the chest. As the straps come around the neck and down the back, the straps come together before moving down to the band. The "straps" can be traditional bra sizes or much larger and in more of a flat cloth design.

The advantage of the racerback bra is it tends to take pressure off the outer shoulder area. If you find you have red, angry marks from your straps or, on the opposite end of things, the straps are always falling off your shoulders, the racerback bra can be a godsend. It also tends to pull the breasts up and to the middle of the chest, which is particularly comfortable for some women. If you wear tank tops, the racerback bra is the bra of choice.

Bralette

A bralette is not really a bra per se. It is more like a half t-shirt with cups on it. The bra is incredibly comfortable, but provides little support. If you are purely trying to find something comfortable, the bralette is about as good as you are going to do. The fact there is no support at all, however, makes it a bra that should only be worn occasionally.

Foam

The foam bra is not made of foam. Instead, it is a basic bra with a thinner foam lining in the cups. The bra is particularly comfortable because of the additional support provided directly to the breast. Depending on the brand, you may be able to move the foam lining around a bit. This allows you to adjust the fit for both breasts since each is slightly different than the other in size and shape. The foam lining bra will also hide any nipple show through issues you might have.

The days of one bra fits all are long gone. Don't just try different sizes to find the perfect bra for your body. Instead, look through new and different design styles to see if there is one that could make the difference with your body type. You'll be glad you did if you find the perfect bra.
