Choosing Bras for Heavy Breasts
Large breasts are currently in vogue. However, if you have large
breasts then you may be fighting with back pain, shoulder pain, and
unattractive bras. If you want to reduce the amount of pain
associated with having larger or heavier breasts then you need to
find a bra that will provide you with the right kind of support,
while still looking pretty and feeling comfortable. The following
steps will help you to select a bra that will meet these
qualifications.
Choosing Bras for Heavy Breasts Step 1 – Know Your Correct Bra Size
The first step that any bra shopping experience should start with is
to determine your correct bra size. Your band width and cup size are
going to change throughout your life because of changes in your
breast shape, fullness, and position. To get a bra that fits you
properly you will need to take your underbust measurement, and you
will need to take the measurement around the fullest part of your
bust. Your underbust measurement will be your band size. To
determine your cup size you will want to subtract the underbust
measurement from your full bust measurement. If the difference is 3
inches then you will need a C cup, if the difference is 4 inches
then you will need a D cup, if the difference is 5 inches then you
will need an E cup, and if the difference is 6 inches then you will
need a G cup. If you fall between cup sizes look for a bra that
comes in half sizes.
Choosing Bras for Heavy Breasts Step 2 – Shop for the Right Style
Bra
Now that you know what size to look for your next step is to shop
for a bra style that will provide you with adequate support,
shaping, and comfort. First of all you will want to look for a style
that has wider, padded shoulder and back straps. This will help to
reduce shoulder gouging, which should help make the bra more
comfortable to wear. Next look for a full cup style bra. A fuller
cup will be better able to contain all of your breast and keep the
shape of your breast round instead of droopy. You will also want to
look for a bra that has an underwire. This is because underwire bras
provide more support than bras with no underwire. If comfort is a
concern, there are now bras that have extra padding around their
underwires to prevent them from digging into your chest or poking
you. If you want to minimize the appearance of your breasts then you
will want to look for a bra style that is smooth and plain.
Choosing Bras for Heavy Breasts Step 3 – Try Bras On
Every bra manufacturer has their own sizing charts. Because of this
you will need to try on a variety of bras in order to find one that
fits your body perfectly. When you try on a bra move around, raise
and lower your arms, bend over, and go through your normal range of
motion. If the straps fall off your shoulders, if the material on
the cups wrinkle or pucker, or if the bra band wont’ stay in the
correct position, then the bra is not sized correctly for you. Try a
variety of brands and styles. Base your final selection on the bra
that feels the best, that creates the most attractive silhouette,
and that also offers you the best support.
