Ladies, we all know that finding the perfect bra is easier said than done. It can feel like you’re on a never-ending quest in search of something that will fit just right. But fear not, for the perfect fitting bra is not an impossible dream! In this article, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about determining whether your bra fits perfectly or not.
The Importance of Wearing the Right Size
Before diving into our guide on how to tell if your bra fits perfectly, it’s important to discuss why this matters so much. Not only does wearing an ill-fitting bra make you feel uncomfortable and unconfident but wearing the wrong size can lead to long-term health issues such as back pain and poor posture.
So trust us when we say that investing in finding a well-fitted bra is worth every penny!
Measuring Yourself Accurately
The first step towards finding your perfect match brasize-wise is knowing exactly what size you are. While many believe they already know their correct size and skip measuring altogether – please don't be one of those people because more often than not your usual size won’t actually fit correctly.
So grab yourself a tape measure (no eye-balling allowed) and take these measurements:
- Band measurement: Measure around the ribcage directly underneath where your breasts sit.
- Bust measurement: Measure around the fullest part of your bust without tightening too much.
TIP/PRO TIP:Be sure NOTto wear any clothing while taking these measurements.
Once you have both set of measurements, use them in tandem with manufacturer charts/bra sizemeasurement programs online/bra sizing appsto get your accurate size range(i.e; A cup/B cup/C cup/D cup/E cup/F cup etc.)
Your Bra Cup Should Fit Comfortably /Properly
Now that you’re equipped with your accurate bra size measurement, it’s time to find the right cup fit. The job of the cup is to support and contain your breasts, without leaving any gaps in between.
You can determine whether you have the correct cup size by following these simple steps:
- Put on a bra that should be (but not before reconfirming it's part of your actual sizing range)your ideal size.
- Look at yourself straight-on in the mirror while wearing this bra.
- Ensure there is no gaping or over-spilling anywhere near/at the cups /Underwireand also check out for signs of wrinkling/folds around the edges/borders of the Cup Fabricmaterialif so ==> "Huston We Have A Problem"!. 4.The cups should lay smoothly across from one end side to another horizontallywithout pinching/aggressively crushing down but also remember not too loosely either!
If you have any spillage happening near/atthe top/bottom/siderims or if there are gapsin betweenthe cups &/or boobs then sadly you’ll need a different cup size braso scratch that option off your list and try again.
Trying on Your Bra
Now that we've talked about how important measurement accuracy factors into finding perfect fitting brasize-wise& proper placement regardingcup sizes , let’s talk about trying things on akathe moment when most women give up because they weren’t sure what all needed elicit their attention during fittings .
There are some quick ways to tell easilywhether or notThe Perfect Fit happens with just a few checks; start by standing front side facingowarda mirror nextto whereyou're located after slipping intoany potiential purchasablebras;
-
Shoulder Straps: These should sit comfortably on top of shoulders i.e.;not slip 'n slide downward/neither being tight as death grips against shoulder flesh nor allowing more than two fingers’ space between the straps and skin.
-
Band: This does alot of heavy lifting when it comes to support, thus giving you that 'Ohh La la effect' inthe cleavage department. ensure the band fits snugly against your skin(i.e.; can easily slide a finger underneath but withminimal effort), while remaining parallel or horizontal across from one end side to another on your back
Cup Padding: Allows for extra volume where(with all due respect)there is none & THAT'S ALRIGHT! We don't judge....but only if it doesn't look like two peaches jigsawed together; avoids air gaps via fullness rounded shape and smooth texture.
So ditch anything else besides perfection or close enough ideally found within the right bra/cup size range!
How Does It Feel?
The final step in finding out whether your bra fits perfectly or not? The feel test - afterall, we wear these things every single day.
Ask yourself these questions:
- Does my bra feel physically uncomfortable?
- Am I constantly adjusting myself throughout the day
- Do I want to rip off my bra as soon as I get home each night?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions,this could be an indicator that there are still adjustments needed so keep looking!
Don’t Be Discouraged
At times, searching for that perfect fit may seem overwhelming,BUT DON'T GIVE UP!!! Rememberthat wearing a properly-fittingbra isn’t just about looks – it’s also incredibly importantfor both physical and psychological health.
To recap,the keys towards finding success generally liesin getting accurate measurements from items such as measuring tapes,intuiting best brasize ranges based on those numbers ( i.e., US42G/UK38E would mean sticking with E/F cup sizes dependingon brand) , testing different sizedbras at storesonlineor crossing-your-fingers-and-ordering online ANDconstant reassessment of one's comfort levels in bras towards agreeing on which facilitates best everyday life activities.
