How to choose the right bra size

I wore a bra of the wrong size for many years. And you, most likely, too. In fact, almost 80 percent of women still wear poorly fitting bras.
Why this happens and how to find the bra that really suits you, tells Rambler.
Lingerie manufacturer's 2008 survey of the year Triumph and published in a journal Chiropractic & Osteopathy, showed that most women (80 percent!) wear irregular-sized bras. Of these women, 70 percent are too small bras and only 10 percent are too big bras.
This is not surprising, considering how difficult it is to find attractive (or at least some!) Large options. Victoria's Secret offers bras up to 90DDD in a nice variety of styles and colors, but this is not always enough. In fact, this is not enough at all. Many women need bras that measure over 90 centimeters under their breasts. For many mass-market stores, the size range still ends at about 80 centimeters.
There is no common ideal for cup size.
When it comes to bra sizes, most women still believe in the idea that the bigger, the better - at least when it comes to cup size. But they often do not understand that the size of the bowl is not equal to the size of the breast. This value depends on the difference between the size of the chest and the chest.
This means that for someone with 75C the bra cup is still smaller than that of the girl with the size 80C. Increasing girth size can provide the right fit for many women who face too much cup.
Some women know that they are wearing the wrong bra size, but continue to wear it. Magazine research Ergonomics, showed that women with larger breast sizes tend to be even more mistaken when choosing a bra size.
Wearing the wrong bra size can cause chest pain and skin irritation. In a study on female horsemen and the effect of the size of their bras, 40% reported chest pain, and 59% reported at least one more problem related to the size of their underwear. At the same time, the opinion that bras of the wrong size cause breast cancer is a myth.

How to find a bra that suits you
Before you give up on bras or put up with perpetual discomfort, consider trying a professional fitting and fitting clothes. Professional help can save you from uncomfortable bras and the wrong size. If the help of another person is not an option, then these four tips will help you.
- Choose a bra, the bottom of which will be comfortable when installing hooks of maximum size. There should be enough space to put two fingers between the edge and the back. Bras stretch as they wear, so in the end you will use the second and third hooks.
- If the bra straps cut into your shoulders, try reducing the girth. The girth and shoulder straps work together - and if the latter are pressing, then the bra is not fulfilling its role in lifting and supporting the chest.
- Does the chest literally "fall out" from the side or top of the bra? Try on a larger bra. After putting on your bra and bending over, make sure your entire breasts are in the cup.
- What about the "folds" on the back? Try to fit a bra with a large girth. Many women believe that the folds mean that their bra is too small - and so it really happens. But sometimes it happens that because of the too large size, the lower part of the bra looks awful on the back.
While science has begun using 3D scanners to help design bras and find the perfect fit, this is still out of the reach of all of us. If you are not ready for a professional bra fit, but still want to make sure you are wearing the correct bra size, use a centimeter (cloth). Then use one of the many online calculators to help you determine your ideal size.
