5 Tips on Choosing the Bra that Will Suit Your Body

Posted by dennishahn on April 1st, 2019

On a rough estimate, around 70% of women in this world wear the wrong size of bra. Either the bra is too tight that it brings up an imaginary pair of breasts out or it is too loose that it ruins the look of your breasts. With plenty of varieties in the market, a woman is bound to get confused while shopping for the right bra. It is very important to wear the right bra as this would enhance your figure and make your clothes look better on you. Investing in a bra which you will wear on a daily basis can be a money saving and a good investment if you consider. Here are a few tips to find the right bra size for you.

• Let go of the old notions about bra sizing

Many women wear a particular bra size because they feel they should wear it and also because they have been wearing that size for ages now and it’s hard to let it go. Understanding the fact that not all “C” cups are “C” cups is a must here. Now let me make you understand this statement if you are struggling to fit into a 34C but 36C is too loose for you then you must jump to 34D. It is important to understand that not all the “C” cups are the same and can differ when belt size changes and even with different brands.

• How to choose a bra style that works with your body

Next step is to know which bra type or style suits you the best. We know you have plenty of types, but which one goes with your routine or lifestyle.

1. Underwire and wireless

For most people underwire bras provide a better shape but it doesn’t necessarily provide good support. If you are too curvy then going with a wireless bra would be more appropriate, going for a plus size bra is a good option here.

2. Front v/s back closure

As we know front closure bras are easier to get off but the can get highly uncomfortable at some point and even ruin the shape of your breast if your breasts are too far away. Back closure bras provide you with more options for shaping cups in the front and are more comfortable in the long run.

3. Compression v/s encapsulation

This one is specifically for sports bra users. Compression bras hold the breast to the chest and provide minimum moment and multi directional support. This size is only suitable for small breast which is a B or less than that. Encapsulated bras have cups and panels to surround each breast and offer more support. This is highly suitable for larger breasts which are more than a B cup.

4. Plunging v/s full coverage

Plunging bras or half cup bras could be worn under any low-cut top. But these bras won’t give you the look you need unless it’s a padded bra. Moreover, it doesn’t provide the support you need the whole day. They are only suitable for medium sized breasts and not larger ones. Full coverage bras, on the other hand, provides an optimum amount of support and full coverage to the breast, lest it be heavy or medium sized.

Once you get to know which bra type and style complements your body type and lifestyle, don’t let it go. It’s very important that you have a comforting and supporting bra type in your closet.
