Did you know that more than 85% of women wear the wrong bra size? If you did not know this, we are here to share with you the top 5 mistakes women make when buying a bra and how you can find the right fit. Read below.

 

As women, we come in all shapes and sizes. But that does not mean we should force ourselves to wear the wrong bras sizes. Wearing the wrong bra size can be uncomfortable, unattractive and a health hazard. The following are the top mistakes women make when buying a bra:

 Often women will forget that the back bands of bras provide 90% of support. There should not be too much slack on the back band. Your bra should fit firm and comfortable. When a band is excessively loose, your bra will rise up and your breasts will sag. Not to mention, if you are a large breasted woman severe back pains can result. It also emphasizes back fat, which is a no, no in our book.

Often women will hold on to a bra for years, not taking in consideration the weight they have lost or gained over the years. When your body changes in weight, your bust line changes. On average, a bust line can change more than six times in a woman’s lifetime. To stay on top of these changes, get a bra fitting at least once a year.

Do not let popular bra sales make decisions for you. Just because a bra fits your friend perfectly does not mean it will be the most flattering for you as well. Try a range of styles while shopping for a bra. Make sure to look at yourself in the mirror with a fitted shirt. This shirt will show you how your shape will appear when dressed with your bra on.
