A bra is a necessary element of a woman's wardrobe. It allows you to keep your breasts healthy and beautiful throughout your life, give them an ideal shape and even visually enlarge them under clothes. You just need to know how to pick it up.
How to understand that the bra is “wrong”?
There are several rules, the observance of which will allow you to choose a convenient, practical and safe model.
Straps should not dig into your shoulders
If wearing a bra results in discomfort in the shoulder area, numbness in the palms and fingertips, the cause may be that the straps are too short. Ideally, they should account for only 1/10 of the weight of the chest.
Otherwise, the straps cut into the shoulders, squeeze soft tissues, squeeze blood vessels and nerve endings, leaving marks and redness on the shoulders. If you ignore this problem, you can very soon get osteochondrosis of the cervical spine, deterioration of posture, neurosis.
The straps should be taut and not peeking out.
Every woman is built differently. Therefore, the straps of the same bra will be long for some, short for others, and optimal for others.
In most models, the length of the straps is adjustable within certain limits: they can be tightened or loosened using the clips located on them. They should not be too tight and not too loose.. Falling straps are also bad: the breasts lose support, sag and lose their shape. In addition, straps “peeping out” from under the outfit will spoil the image, creating the impression of untidiness.
Cups must be the right size
They should correspond as much as possible to the size of a woman’s bust. Too small cups and embedded bones can lead to stagnation of blood and lymph, deformation of the mammary glands, compactions and oncology. Breasts that do not fit into the bra and protrude beyond the cups gather in folds at the top, or may simply “fall out” at the most inopportune moment.
Important! There should be no free space left inside, otherwise the chest will “dangle”, and when moving under clothes, unsightly bunches or creases will form.
Nipples should not be visible
Open demonstration of sexuality in the form of nipples sticking out from under clothes is not welcome in society. It will look out of place in the office, on a walk, or at a festive evening. The exception is a romantic date in an intimate setting. In addition, the skin of the breast, especially the nipples, is very delicate. Unprotected, it is easily injured under the influence of external factors (friction, impact).
The belt should be comfortable
This part bears 90% of the entire load, so its fabric should be quite dense. When trying on, you need to pay attention to the even fit: The belt should be located at the level of the middle of the forearm - between the top of the shoulder and the elbow. He must not:
- lifted up on his back;
- stung or sagged.
Important! When trying on, you should fasten it with the outer hooks. During use, it will stretch a little, and then the remaining fasteners will be needed.
When is it the color of clothes, and when is contrast possible?
In a woman’s closet there are outfits of different colors. For underwear, the most popular colors are white, beige and black. Bra ideally should match the color of the clothing.
White and black underwear are best worn with things of the same color or worn under non-transparent clothing. If the fabric is thin and transparent, it is better to wear a flesh-colored bra that matches your skin tone. Bras with a pattern are worn under outfits of rich, bright, closer to dark, colors.
When is push-up “not allowed”?
This model, which compensates for the lack of natural volume, is preferred by women with small breasts. With the help of hard bones and special inserts, both breasts are raised and moved towards the center, forming a seductive neckline.
Despite all the external aesthetic advantages, there are a number of reasons why its use as underwear is contraindicated:
- implanted pacemaker;
- mastopathy, tumors (including benign);
- hypertension.
Even in the absence of such health problems It is not recommended to wear it all the time, since the bust in it is in an unnatural position and can become deformed and lose its natural elasticity. The strapless variety is especially harmful - the balconette, where the entire load falls on a dense, sometimes very tight belt.
Important! You can wear this model under an evening dress with a large neckline for two to three hours, so as not to cause significant harm to your health.
There are different styles of bras. Some are suitable for low-necked dresses, others for sports, and others are specially adapted for nursing mothers. Either way, this piece of underwear must be comfortable, safe and match the suit. The “right” bra will help create a beautiful foundation on which your clothes will look great.
