How to Find a Proper Fitting Bra

L ingerie shopping, like the actual donning the said bras, may be anywhere on the emotive scale from plain frustrating and completely traumatizing. No one really tells us how to find a proper fitting bra.

Numerous women wear unflattering bras that bite into skin, fall off your shoulders, and cause embarrassing spillage—and then pull it off as soon as you get back home.

Much of it can be connected directly to the lingerie shop: when we do not really understand how to find the correct bra (or perhaps even the appropriate bra size), we won't obtain one that is correct for ourselves. To put it simply women are not getting the help they require to obtain the help they require.

Here are some tips on how you can find the right kind of bra because a bra that doesn't fit well can be harmful.

Find the Right Band Size

Here is how you can measure your band size without a hassle 

  • Determine your correct band's size. Use a gentle tape measurement tool to gauge across your ribs, just beneath your chest, while facing a mirror. The strap of the bra also goes over your torso area. Tighten up the measurement tape. Take note of this reading.
  • Make absolutely sure that the measuring tape is parallel with the floor using the mirror. You won't receive an exact estimation if the tape measure isn't in a linear fashion round the body and is at an inclination.
  • Make sure the tape isn't so tight that it seems like you're wearing a bra. Just ensure that it fits snugly around your body.
  • Rounding up the nearest whole figure if your measurement value is a fraction
  • Because bandwidths are determined in even integers, you might also want to test one size bigger and one size below (for example, if your measurement is 36 inches, consider both the 35 and 37 size bras), but in the meanwhile, just round up.

Find the Right Bust 

Here is how you can measure your bust size without a trouble

  • Slide your measuring tape over your back then measure the biggest part of your breasts, which is generally the nipple. Take note of this value.
  • Since bloating & hormones can cause your bust size to vary, assess on the day that your breast feels normal.
  • When your posture is bothering you (perhaps you slump), lean through at the pelvis to 90 degrees, or till your torso resembles an L shape. Then take a measurement of your chest from that point.
  • Don't tighten the measuring tape as you did for the band length.
  • If your reading is a fraction, just round it up to the next whole figure, just like the band measurement.
  • Make sure the measuring tape is flat across your spine once more. The tape shouldn't be angled up to your nipples from the rear.
  • Because almost every woman has one bosom that's larger than another one, make sure you're gauging the fuller one.

Making Sure You Have Shoulder Support

Your breast might be placing lots of additional weight on your straps and if they are spilling out of the cup's sides, or you find yourself tugging the strap tight to keep them in line.

Bigger cups would definitely aid your problem in either case. If the band is excessively slack, your bra straps may dig against your shoulders, causing your bra straps to do most of the effort. 

Ask a Professional to Help You

If you require assistance, seek it from an expert.  Drop by any lingerie or store and request a sales representative for assistance if you are not sure you are doing it correctly or want expert advice, or do not feel like gauging yourself.

It's part of a role to assist customers in finding the perfect bra, so they'll know what to do. Don’t be ashamed of asking for help and assistance. You deserve to find a bra that is comfortable and fits you perfectly. 

Knowing how to find a proper fitting bra can be hard but it really isn’t if you’ve done your homework and know what exactly to look for.
