Better Bras - Try New Designs For a Better Fit

We are all of us creatures of habit. Once we find something we are generally happy with or at least can tolerate, we tend to stick with it. This is a mistake with bras as you'll miss advancements that can make you feel and look better.

A bra is a bra is a bra. Isn't this the way most of us think? Well, a closer look reveals this simply isn't the truth. Once can simply look at specialty bras such as sports bras. There were no sports bras a hundred years ago. Can you imagine going for a jog in a regular bra these days? Ouch! Of course most women were not doing a lot of jogging in 1909, but you get my drift.

The larger point is there are advances occurring all the time in bra design.... Many are tiny little advances, but some are big. Combined, the comfort and support factor of bras have come a long way in the last five years as well as the last twenty years. If you are sticking with a bra design that you've worn for the last five years, you are really missing out. Consider some of the advancements made recently.

What is the number on thing we hate about bras? Getting poked! Underwire bras offer great support, but they can be soooo aggravating when the underwire pokes you in the arm...underarm...breast and so on. Bra designers are not deaf. They've heard our collective groan. A number of new underwire designs now contain little buffer devices on the end of the underwire. They don't stop the poking, but the make it more of a push feeling instead of a poking. It makes a huge difference. By the way, the poking means you're wearing the wrong bra size.

Since I am not a size 1, I have a rather unflattering problem with the back of my bras. I tend to bulge around the band as it comes under my arms and around my back. It isn't a good look, but there really isn't much I can do other than go without a bra completely. I'm not really willing to do that, so I just try to wear loose clothing that hides the unsightly lumps. Well, I just found out there are new bra designs that use a microfiber designed to provide a firm fit without creating the bulges. Wow, I could actually buy a thin cotton top!

We all wear bras and there is something about each one that aggravates us. Somewhere in the world at some bra design office, there is someone trying to come up with a solution for the problem. When they do, it would be a shame to miss out on it, right? Right, so get out there and try on new designs with new technology to see if you can find a better bra for yourself.
