Wearing The Right Bra Means Great Breast Support

Wearing The Right Bra Means Great Breast Support

The early undergarments, such as brassieres and corsets, were used to make the waist extremely small and the breasts flat and formless. Luckily, these pieces of clothing are not in vogue anymore. Nowadays, bras and undergarments are created to protect and enhance the bust and support the upper torso. Gone are the days when you have to make your breasts as inconspicuous as possible and your waist as tiny as the circumference of a solo-sized pizza.

But despite the recent technological advances in the bra industry, there are still a lot of women who do not know how to choose the right type, size and cup to use. Hence, many are suffering in silence because their bras are small, deformed, and even unsightly. Perhaps, the average Jane is still not comfortable about asking the help of sales specialists in lingerie stores.

It is important to note that having ill-fitted bras and undergarments is not only an issue of beauty and appearance; it also poses some health risks, such as back pains, bruises, and other potentially serious diseases.

Six Signs That You Badly Need To Replace Your Bra
1. You see red marks on your skin, particularly on the shoulders and at the back.
2. Your bra makes you slouch.
3. The centermost area of your bra does not reach your breastbone.
4. Your boobs swing and bounce every time you move.
5. The straps slip and fall off even after you tightened them.
6. When you raise your arm, your bra also goes up and leaves your bust half covered.

The above signs show that your bra does not fit you properly nor does it give the right support; it may even cause unnecessary health risks.

Health Risks

Wearing a bra that does not fit your cup or band size can actually cause rashes, headache, neck pain, pulled ligaments and back problems. If your breasts do not get the right amount of support from your undergarments, they tend to droop, bounce and go to places where you don't like them to go, such as your belly or underarms.

If you are into sports, you should also remember to wear a sports bra. Exercising and other strenuous activities can put a strain on your bust that may result to sagging, stretching, and a couple of pulled ligaments. Sports bras are specifically designed to provide utmost flexibility and maximum support, keeping your bust in shape and in place. Furthermore, the fabrics commonly used in this type of undergarment are breathable, which helps moisture and sweat stay outside the fabric. It must be stressed that you need to wear a sports bra every time you indulge in extreme physical activities and sports.

Best Style For Your Cup Size

Large Bust
For women who were endowed by nature with big and full breasts, you need to wear bra that has wide back and shoulder straps so that you will get the highest support. It would also be advisable to steer away from half cups because these might give an appearance of you having four breasts. A full cup, on the other hand, gives enough coverage and helps make your breasts look shapelier. A bra with an underwire is also appropriate for you.

Small Chest
For a curvy shaped, slightly lifted, and gorgeous neckline, a woman with small bust should choose a balcony-type bra. To give the appearance of cleavage, half cups with padding beneath and at the sides of the bust should be worn.

Wearing the right type of bra is really important in enhancing your appearance and even taking care of your health. For women who are small-chested, there are many types of bras that give added pads and support in the right places to give you more shape without sacrificing support. However, if you still feel unhappy with your breast size, you can either have a breast enhancement surgery or try breast-augmenting supplements like Clevastin.

Styles more for the 'mature' lady like me! Super ladies who run it and are 'TV' friendly (they measured me up for a bra even when in bloke mode.)

[Clare Aston]

I'd just like to fly the flag for my local lingerie shop, who have been very professional and helpful. They are:

Woods of Morecambe
264 Marine Rd Central LA4 5BX
Tel 01524 - 426611

and on White Lund industrial estate at:
Unit 11
Northgate
LA3 3AY
Tel 01524 - 840084 (Wholesale)

email to: info@woods-online.co.uk (very good online advice service) or:
shop@woods-online.co.uk (Retail)

Best to make early morning appts - the manageress, Joanne, is very professional, and i was properly measured and fitted and given advice on the kind of thing to go for.
Talking online, i was assured that i wasnt the first girl and probably wouldnt be the last. Down this way? Give 'em a go!!

[Joanne]

I'd like to wholeheartedly agree with Clare's post regarding Woods.
After reading Clare's post a few days ago, I myself made an appointment with Joanne for this morning at 11am (they are opening 7 days a week now for the run in to Christmas).
Joanne spent over an hour with me, painstakingly going through different types of bra; explaining things about each one and giving advice and tips; her knowledge and advice I felt was second to none.
I am now the proud owner of a couple of Doreen type bra's, a nice smooth one and a sexy nude one. The one I am wearing fits like a glove, so to speak, I have my size 9 forms in; and those puppies ain't going nowhere!
An excellent service, very friendly, very professional; I felt at ease and fussed over. This is the sort of service a girl always hopes for when she's out clothes shopping.
Since I bought four she knocked me ten per cent off and I even joined her loyalty card scheme!
Thank you Clare, for pointing Woods out in the first place.

Bra filling and fitting

originally in haberdashery

Woods of Morcambe (woods-online.co.uk) are now marketing slicone and other fillets and fillers. For those , who like myself, like to buy the things that GGs buy andwear, and at the same places, this is ideal. They cater for busts down to AA and AAA, which could include many of us!

They also have a wide range of Shpewear and Lingerie, both "ancient and modern". Not only mail order, but male order, in fact. They also have padded Knickers in the shop, but I couldn't find them in the catalogue.

They have a couple of bra' fitting videos on their site as well. Why not go on their online mailing?
