Here at Brastop, we are bra obsessed (in case you didn’t already know). We love that we provide beautiful and sexy bras for ladies with a bigger bust. However, what good is your gorgeous new set going to do, if it doesn’t fit right?
Cups aren’t separating the girls –
If you have a big bust and you’re wearing a cup size that is too small for you then this is going to squish your boobs together, big time. This may not sound like a bad thing, but if your breasts are like that all day every day, then the moisture that is building up in between them can cause some fairly serious rashes, some turning into fungal rashes. This is why you need to make sure that your cups are separating your boobs and lifting them up off of your rib cage.
Poor fitting underwire –
Underwires that dig in at the side, usually mean that the cup is too small, so it’s best to try a cup size up. Digging in wires can cause chaffing and bruising, which is seriously uncomfortable and quite often the reason that so many women hate wearing a bra. This can also damage the breast tissue, so make sure that your wire ends where your breast tissue ends.
Tight bra straps –
Quite often, we think that tightening the bra straps will solve all of life’s problems. It makes our bra firmer and much more supportive, right? Wrong! Majority of the support comes from the back band, which is why we harp on about it all the time. The straps only hold a measly 10% of the support, each. Straps that are too tight can place an enormous amount of pressure on your shoulders, neck and all of the nerves around that area. So if you find yourself with red or dented marks then do your poor shoulders a favour and check out our fitting guide, to ensure you’re wearing the right size.
Squeezing yourself into the wrong shape –
This might sound like we are getting petty, but it’s true! Let’s face it, gravity is eventually going to take over, however the right shape can help gravity stop taking it’s toll to early! Wearing a bra size that is too slack won’t give your boobs the support they need and once the supportive ligaments are stretched, there’s no going back!! Luckily, we have an entire blog on boob types, to help you find out which style is best for you.
So, ladies. Keep those bras secure and your health in check!
