According to a survey conducted by Triumph International, seven out of every 10 women are wearing the wrong size bra and many are clueless about choosing a bra that fits them perfectly.
Does your bra ride up as you lift your arms or does the under-wire poke you? If your answer is yes, then you’re probably not wearing the right bra.
Although many lingerie companies have experts who can help you get fitted for the right bra properly at their stores and counters, you can also find out for yourself. German lingerie brand Triumph recommends these steps to help you get started with finding the perfect bra.
1. The bra’s underband needs to feel comfortable yet firm as it provides 80% of the support. Make sure that it doesn’t dig into your skin, or leave red marks.
2. The back of your bra should be in line with the front. If it rides up too high or hangs too low, it’s not the right fit for you.
3. Cups should not come too high under the arms.
4. Your breasts should fit neatly into the bra’s cups – no overspill or wrinkling of the bra.
5. Wires should lie flat against your body; there should not be any poking or rubbing (nobody likes that to happen!).
6. Your bra’s centre front panel should sit flat against your body.
7. Your breasts should be supported in their natural position, usually halfway between the shoulder and elbow. Re-adjust the straps if necessary.
