Every woman knows the difficulty involved in finding the
right bra. Questions like What cup Size are you now? What style do you require?
Seem to never end!
Well...First and foremost it is essential that you know your
correct size. A badly fitting bra can lead to back problems, muscle tension,
and even headaches. If you are in your teen years, the strain caused by a badly
fitting bra can lead to permanent problems with posture and even back pain. So
that?s why teens should be fit by a bra expert at least twice a year or even
after every noticeable growth pattern.
Your first consideration should be the reason you need the
bra; is it for athletics, coverage, comfort or support? There are different
types and styles of bras made for specific types of bodies and physical
activities. Although it would be nice, no one bra can do it all; you have
different bras for different jobs. A Sexy bra for those intimate private
moments or a Sports Bra for when you want to perform arduous exercise.
First Bras: Training bras are for younger girls who have
just started to develop breasts and are not able to fit into standard size
bras. Age is not the concern, rather its getting the right fit and support for
your breast size.
Wireless Bras: Light support or wireless bras usually have
no Underwire and are sometimes the preferred choice for those with smaller
breasts. They are less constricting and more comfortable than full support
bras. As they are wireless they offer less shaping and more freedom than other
bras. You can find the padded and unpadded variety; what you choose is a matter
of personal preference.
Underwire Bras: Full support or underwire bras usually have
an underwire or plastic boning holding them up. It doesn’t matter what breast
size you are, however it is a must for those with larger cup sizes. They also
are available in padded or unpadded varieties.
Push Up Bras: Sometimes referred to as padded bras and more
famously attributed to the Wonderbra. They lift the breasts and add more shape
to them with extra padding. There are some more innovative versions around that
use silicone inserts or water sacks to enhance your look even further. They are
known to "lift and separate" the breasts, creating a full cleavage
and most importantly offer lots of support.
Plus Size Bras: Plus size bras have finally found a home
away from the unsightly bras of yesteryear to the sleek and sexy bras of today.
From sports to sexy to your everyday bra, plus size bras are know available in
many styles and brands. You can get extremely feminine lacy plus size bras, or
bras finished in satin, silk, lace and cotton, under wire and strapless bras.
Sports Bras: Probably the least flattering and sexy in the
bra family but ironically the most important one for growing teens to have. As
well as offering full support, they also stop the breasts from moving during
strenuous activity. The tissue in your breasts is very delicate and growing
tissue especially needs to be protected during high impact exercise.
Nursing Bras: Your breasts start changing shape from the
fourth month of pregnancy. As a result, most women find their previous bra too
small. Purchase nursing bras close to your due date or shortly after your baby
arrives, because your breasts will grow larger toward the end of your pregnancy
and when milk comes in. Consider buying a bra that has flaps and can be opened
and refastened easily. Since milk leakage is inevitable, it also makes sense to
buy nursing pads to protect both your bra and clothes. It is always better to
buy 100% cotton bras, as cotton is a breathable fabric. Synthetic fabrics trap
moisture and encourage bacterial growth and soreness.
Mastectomy Bras: These types of bras are designed with
pockets in the cup area to hold breast prosthesis. There is a wide range of styles
and colors available. The silicone breast prosthesis simulates the natural
breast with regards to its shape and weight. The prosthesis’s main advantage of
is that it provides symmetry and balance to a persons body, who has survived
from breast cancer. Wearing the right prosthesis is primarily important to your
ultimate comfort level. With a superior fitting prosthesis, and a well-made and
fitted mastectomy bra, you in turn will help to balance your posture and
provide fortification for your chest and breast cancer scars.
Now you know the importance of the bra and the many types
available, you should know firstly what size you need and how to determine that
size. The following article gives you an insight into how to measure your self
and the importance of a well fitted bra.
