A well-chosen bra - that is, the correct size - is of great importance for the he alth and beauty of the breasts. There is a perfect bra for every bust. They are produced in cup sizes from A to KK and with a circumference of 60 to 110. How to measure yourself and what to look for when buying a bra?

A good brais the basis of a woman's wardrobe .It seems that since you cannot see it under your clothes, it is not so important. And that's a mistake.

No, even the most fashionable blouse will look good when there is an inappropriate bra under it, for example with a cup that is too small, forming "buns" on the breasts, or too loose in the circumference and therefore unsupportive.It is worth taking the trouble and looking for a bra that will fit perfectly.

- Wearing a well-chosen bra is the best thing a woman can do for her breasts - says corset Dorota Roszkowska. - Unfortunately, as much as 80 percent. Polish women wear ill-fitting bras. Very often it causes pain in the spine, back and shoulders.

A good bra ensures comfort, improves the appearance and protects the bust. By placing the breast in the right place, it shapes the figure, makes the waist appear and the silhouette takes on the right proportions. It also influences the way clothes are arranged.

Which bra design will be best for your breasts?

Each bra design has a slightly different design and shape of the cups. Try on a few to see which your breasts look best in.

  • Small Breasts . They look good in a plunge bra, with low-end underwires in the middle - collecting the breasts and pushing them forward. The `` half cup '' cut, i.e. with a 1/2 cup, which perfectly raises and exposes the bust, will also be good. Push-ups are not always the best choice. Thanks to him, the breasts seem larger, but such a cut flattens the bust. In addition, a sponge or silicone insert, worn constantly, may deform the bust and create dimples in its lower part.
  • Big breasts . The most important thing is a tight circumference and cups covering the entire breasts, because such a bust is heavier and it is important to support it. We recommend a "balconette" cut, i.e. a 3/4 cup, or a "full cup", i.e. a brabuilt-up, covering the entire breast. But a well-made plunge bra will also hold large breasts.
  • Breasts set wide apart . We recommend a '' plunge '' or '' push-up '' bra, in which the underwires end low on the sternum, so they collect the bust from under the armpit and move towards the center.
  • Close-set breasts . For them, a bra with a small gap between the cups and with low-end underwires at the front (on the sternum), i.e. a 'plunge', is also perfect. Thanks to this, the underwire will not stick to the breast.

  • Bra straps can have different widths.Their task is not to lift the breasts (they are supposed to rest around the circumference), so even with a large breast you can afford thin straps. If they cut into your arms, lengthen them or go for a bra with a narrower circumference.
  • The bowl cannot be too small.Usually women choose too small cups and too big circumference. Therefore, the next time you go shopping, try on a bra with a smaller circumference under the bust, but with a larger cup. For example, instead of 80C you can try to choose 75E.
  • Underwires stiffen the bra and make it easier to support the bust.The bra can be cut strongly from the top, but the sides should be built-up so that the cup covers the entire breast.

How to choose the right bra?

  1. You measure the circumference (strictly below the bust, on the exhale) and then subtract 5-10 cm. For example, if the circumference is 85 cm, you want a bra with a circumference of 80 or 75.
  2. Each one has three fasteners - the loosest, medium and tightest. You should not buy a bra that you fasten immediately with the tightest clasp. While wearing the bra, it stretches when washing, so you should have a spare so that you can fasten it tighter later than at the beginning.
  3. When trying on a bra, first fasten the circumference with the loosest hook and eye, bending forward so that the breasts are better inserted into the cups. Then you put the shoulder straps on your shoulders. You put your left hand behind your right breast all the way to your back and, with the movement of removing it from under the armpit, place the breast in a bowl. You do the same with your left breast.
  4. The style of the bra should shape the bust. In the case of large breasts, it is better for the cups to be close to each other and not to the sides. If the bra pulls the breasts to the sides, it visually widens the figure.
  5. The underwire on the side must always point more or less at the center of the armpit - it cannot be on the bust or the back.
  6. Ifthe upper edge of the cup sticks to the body and divides the breasts, reach for a larger cup. "Buns" under the arms also mean that the bowl is too small. Choose a style in which the breasts do not stick to each other too tightly, the gap between them should be visible.

In what bra is it comfortable to train and play sports?

It's best to choose a special sports one. It should be soft, butmust support the breasts wellso that the Cooper ligaments holding the bust do not stretch during exercise, jogging or jumping.

When purchasing an exercise bra, pay attention to the type of fabric. The best are breathable and non-retaining moisture, such as lyocell or modal. They are also very resilient and durable.
