Many women often make the wrong choice and wear a bra, even though bras are clothes that are worn everyday. Mistakes in choosing and wearing a bra can actually cause various health problems. Here are the mistakes most often made by women when it comes to choosing and wearing a bra.
1. Choose a bra based solely on cup size
Maybe you buy and choose a bra according to your bust size, so you then decide on a bra based on the cup size. But actually, the size of the chest circumference also matters. There are bras that fit your cup size but don't fit your bust, whether it's too big or too small. For example, there is a bra that is size B but the bust is size A.
Therefore, it would be better if you choose a bra that fits your chest circumference, so that it makes you comfortable to wear it and avoids the irritation that can occur if you wear a bra whose chest circumference is smaller than your chest circumference.
2. When trying on a bra, hook it tight
When you measure the bust with the bra you want to buy, then you should try to attach it to the outermost hook. This is because the bra stretches about 3 inches while you are wearing it. When the bra has stretched, then you hook the bra in the deepest link.
3. Determine the appropriate cup
If you are wearing a bra and then you have a part of your breast that appears to be sticking out, then the cup is still quite small for you. Choose the right cup, so that when used it feels full without any visible parts sticking out.
4. Adjust the bra strap when wearing it
If the strap of the bra when you wear it falls over your arm and doesn't fit your shoulder, then it's still too big for you. Also avoid straps that tie tightly, as this will irritate the skin and cause back pain.
5. Small breasts? Avoid under wire bras
If your bra is small, it is better not to choose a bra model with a wire. Underwire bras will be uncomfortable to wear because the supported breasts are small. Conversely, if you have a breast size that is large enough, you should instead choose a bra with wire, because it will maintain the shape of your breasts.
6. Adjust the bra model with the clothes to be used
Of course, the clothes you will use will determine the bra model you will wear. When you want to attend an important meeting and require you to wear a dress, then use the right bra model according to the dress model that will be used. If the dress you are using has open shoulders, you should wear a strapless bra. Meanwhile, if you use a thin white shirt or shirt, then you can choose a bra that matches the color of the shirt and is comfortable to wear.
7. Change bras every day
Bras usually stretch easily because of their elastic material. So, wearing a bra in a row will cause the bra to stretch in a short time, making it uncomfortable to wear. You can wash your bra in cold water, to help it regain its elasticity and prevent it from stretching quickly. You should have at least six or seven bras that you can alternate between each day.
8.Avoid putting the bra in the dryer (dryer)
A bra that is washed and then put in the dryer, will quickly break and stretch. This is because the soft and stretchy bra material is not heat resistant.
9. Bra with foam? Hang it, don't fold it
If you have a bra whose cups are made of foam, it is better if you store them using a hanger rather than folding them together, as this will damage the cups.
