BRA MYTHS

Bra Myth Number 1: I am wearing the right bra size, and it is X.
Chances are, you are not wearing the right bra size -- roughly 85% of women are in the wrong bra, and even for the lucky 15%, it is almost impossible to just have one bra size. Every woman has weight fluctuations throughout the year, and unless women are being re-fitted roughly every six months, they are probably wearing the wrong size. If you are not sure that you are wearing the wrong size, here are a couple of tell-tale signs to look for:
Do your breasts look weird underneath your shirt, like they are sticking out over the top? That is a key indicator that you are wearing too small of a cup size, and that your breasts are spilling over the bra, and are not fully supported. If you lift your arm above your head and look at the wire of your bra, how far back is it going? If your cup is not actually covering all of your breast along the side of your body, this is another sign that you are wearing too small of a cup. Another key indicator here is if you have skin spilling over the sides of your bra Do your straps dig in to your shoulders? If so, you are probably wearing too large of a back size, and your breasts are not getting enough support. Does the cup of your bra stick out from your breast and bunch up in certain areas? This is a sign that you are wearing too large of a cup size, and should size down a size.
