Choosing the right bra can be difficult, but considering factors such as support, style, materials, and comfort can make the process easier. Proper measurements are important, and different types of bras should be chosen for different activities.
Many women wear bras that are not the right size or are inappropriate for the activities they are doing. Choosing a bra can be difficult, especially in a store with a wide variety of bras available. There are several issues to consider when choosing a bra that will make the process easier.
The first thing to consider when choosing a bra is how you will wear the bra. To exercise, a sports bra must be purchased. To wear under T-shirts and other form-fitting clothing, a seamless bra made of a smooth material is a great idea. Strapless bras are designed to match strapless clothing and dresses. If you’re pregnant, a maternity bra to accommodate your enlarged and often more sensitive breast is a good buy, and nursing moms should think about nursing bras, which make breastfeeding much easier.
Another consideration is the type of support offered. Women with larger breasts should look for underwire bras with large wings, while women with smaller breasts can get away with smaller underwires or a non-wired bra. Bras with straps that cross back offer much more support than conventional straight strap bras, and the straps are less likely to slip. Choosing a bra with the right level of support is very important, and don’t be afraid to ask for help.
Style is another issue when choosing a bra. Bras run the gamut from lace costume bras designed for ornamental wear to very simple, practical bras. Most women like to have some fancy bras available along with matching undergarments for special occasions. Workhorse bras designed for long, comfortable wear and a practical look are also an important part of the wardrobe. Additionally, most women could benefit from choosing a selection of nude bras to wear under sheer or light-colored clothing.
The materials used can also have an impact on the choice of a bra. Most bras should be hand washed. Women who want to be able to throw their bras in the washing machine should look for washable bras, which are often made of cotton. Synthetic materials are much more common, although women may want to be careful with lace, which can be scratchy. While researching the material for care and comfort, women may also want to check where the bra seams are, as the seams can become uncomfortable after a long day.
Comfort is probably the most important thing when choosing a bra. A bra should never be uncomfortable to wear, and time should be taken when choosing a bra to ensure that the bra fits properly. To fit a bra correctly, find someone to help you take measurements so you can make sure they are accurate. Start by measuring the ribcage directly below the breasts. If the measurement is less than 33 inches (84 centimeters), add five inches (13 centimeters). For measurements greater than this amount, you must add three inches (eight centimeters). This numerical measurement is your chest measurement, and you can double check it by measuring around your chest above your breasts. Your chest measurement should match your fitted ribcage measurement.
Then measure your entire chest at the widest point to determine your cup size. The difference between this measurement and your chest measurement will reflect your cup size. In the United States, each inch (two and a half centimeters) of difference represents a letter. Most people are in the AA, A, B, C, D, or DD range. Larger sizes are also available. Cup sizes can vary in other nations, although the lower sizes are fairly standardized.
When you’re trying on a bra, check to make sure all the straps are flat and even. There should be no sagging anywhere, and the straps should not dig into your flesh. Place a finger under the bra at the front to check for breathing space and make sure the cups are completely filled. The bra should feel comfortable when you bend and twist it. If the bra does not fit you, please order another size or style.
