How to choose the right bra

The bra is hidden by outerwear, but it depends on it how a woman's figure looks. In addition, health also depends on the correct choice of this item of underwear. It is important that the bra does not squeeze the chest and lymph nodes, does not disturb the normal circulation of lymph.

The main types of bras

There are many different types of bras, the choice is yours. Modern women are offered the following lingerie options:

1. classic bras with closed soft cups. The main purpose is to lift the breast without correcting its shape and volume. Suitable for large women;

2. bendo looks like a strip of fabric, maybe with a frame and laces (strapless). A great option for open evening dresses;

3. the 'balconette' model supports the chest only from below, wide straps can be detached, therefore, it is suitable for clothes with bare shoulders or with a square neckline;

4. korbei is distinguished by a very deep cut, almost to the nipples;

5. the famous push up bras have gel or foam pads to lift the chest both from the bottom and from the side. As a result, the effect of visual enlargement of the breast by several sizes is achieved. The model is popular among women with small breasts;

6. an invisible bra is considered a novelty, it is attached to the chest and is almost invisible under clothes, while performing a supportive function;

7. nursing mothers are offered comfortable bras with a detachable top, so that if necessary, you can feed the baby without taking off their underwear;

8. Special sports bras provide a secure fixation of the chest during active training. They are produced from dense elastic fabric, wide straps are usually adjustable in length.

Bras are available with underwire (with a frame) and without a frame. The pitted model is more suitable for women with small breasts. In such a bra, the breast retains its natural shape. But the majority of bras are made with a frame, since in this case the underwear is able to support the breast to the right extent.

Measure and Count

When choosing a bra, you should remember that, according to the recommendations of doctors, you can wear it no more than 12 hours a day, and you need to sleep without it. But for half a day, this underwear should become your reliable assistant – to support the breast, emphasizing its seductive shape. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a bra of the appropriate size.

Although at present there is no unified system of sizes for linen, every lady can correctly determine her size and choose the appropriate indicators from the existing marking. It often happens that a different cup volume is hidden under the standard lettering from different manufacturers. Therefore, the key to the correct choice is trying on several bras until the moment they are completely 'fit' in size.

In common European bra sizes, letters and numbers are indicated. The letter denotes the fullness of the cup, and the number denotes the volume of the circumference under the breast. Take a centimeter for measurements. To begin with, attach it under the chest, without twisting and tightening. The resulting figure is deciphered as follows:

1. 67-72 cm corresponds to size 70;

2. 73-77 cm – size 75;

3. 78-82 cm – size 80;

4. 83-87 cm – size 85, etc.

Next, determine the fullness of the cup by measuring the chest at the most prominent points. As a result of a simple calculation (bust minus under bust), you will get a number that indicates the size of the cup:

1. 12-13 cm – cup A (1);

2. 13-15 cm – cup B (2);

3. 15–17 cm – cup C (3);

4. 18–20 cm – cup D (4);

5. 20–22 cm – DD cup (5).

Use your data bearing in mind that manufacturers in different countries may use different size designations.

Consider fitting carefully

Before buying, be sure to try on the models you like. Take a good look in the mirror. If you see that the distance between the nipples is approximately equal to the distance from the center of the breast to the jugular cavity and, as a result, a kind of triangle with equal sides is visually defined, you can be sure that your breasts will look attractive. And if the bra does not press on you and does not cause discomfort, then the chosen model suits you both in size and in shape.

When trying on a bra, fasten the belt with the very last hook. During the process of wearing, the bra belt may stretch, then it will be time to use the remaining hooks to reduce the length of the belt. In general, the main part of the load falls on the belt, so when trying on, pay attention that the belt tightly wraps around the chest and even be somewhat tight, but does not cut into the body.

Another important parameter of a quality bra is the cup. The folds and wrinkles on it indicate that the bra is too big. If the cup squeezes the breast up to the formation of rollers, you should take a bra one size larger.

Material for the production of bras

The material from which the bras are made must meet certain requirements related to the specifics of the products: be firm, elastic, comfortable, durable and wearable. In high-quality models, the inner surface of the cups is made of cotton and without seams. Natural and synthetic fabrics in various combinations are used for the belt and shoulder straps. Often two materials are indicated on the label – polyamide and elastane in different proportions. Manufacturers also use silk, microfiber, tactel, lycra, silk, elastic lace and other modern fabrics.
