Fitting Guide
Okay ladies, it’s time to make sure you’ve got the best-fitting bra for you and yourboobs.
Did you know that over 70% of us are not wearing the correct bra size? Crazy but true.
If we wear the wrong bra size not only can we end up ‘double-busting’ or pointing south but much more importantly the wrong bra can cause strain, injury and lasting pain.
As our bodies change our boobs change, this means that even if you were wearing the right size bra, you can end up wearing the wrong size bra without even knowing it.
If you add to this that once we lose the elasticity in our boobs, it ain’t coming back, you begin to realise just how important it is to wear the right size bra.
So get fitted, fitted and fitted again! Then keep it up on a regular basis to make sure your bras are up to date with your body’s changes.
So how do you know if your bra is fitting you correctly? Tick all the boxes below and you are onto a winner!
Firstly always fit your bra on the loosest hook, so as it wears you can tighten as and when necessary.
Then:
1) The underband should be snug but enabling you to fit two fingers in the underband at either side.
2) The underband should be even all the way round the body, so the back of the bra should be parallel with the front of the bra.
3) Your breast should fit comfortably into each cup within the wire casing.
4) Your breasts should fill the cups without bulging over the top or being squeezed.
5) The centre front should lay flat and separate your breasts.
6) The straps should be adjusted to between the shoulder and the elbow.
7) Finally, always put your outer clothing on top of the bra to see your new shape, wearing the correct size bra is not only important, it enhances your outerwear.
