Are You in the Right Bra?
Here are some things to consider...
- Does your bra ride up in the back? It should be level across
- Does your cup overrunneth? Are you spilling out? You need a bigger cup.
- Does the wire dig into your breast tissue?
- Does the wire dig into your breast tissue?
- Is is just plain uncomfortable? Are the straps leaving horrible divets in your shoulders?
If you answered yes to any of these questions...You Need to be Fitted!
I was professionally fitted last year and was told I'm a 36DD — so now I can just go into any store and buy a 36DD right??
Even if your bra fits great right now — it doesn't take much for that to change. Weight fluctuations can affect your bra size as well as hormonal changes. It is possible to change a whole cup size during your monthly cycle so you might need a special bra for just those days.
Pregnancy obviously changes your breast size as does breast feeding and after breast feeding.
As we age — our bodies change, we lose muscle tone and connective tissue, so we might need a different style of bra.
Starting an exercise routine can affect how your bra fits and of course if you start taking hormones such as a birth control pill or HRT you will need to be refitted.
Each bra manufacturer has its own sizing and specifications —so a 36D in one brand is not going to be a 36D in another brand.
