Get Fitted For a Bra!

Take Action! Measure yourself at least 2 times a year. Women change bra sizes several times throughout their lives. Face it, most women gain and lose weight. Some gain and lose weight seasonally Women have babies. Women go through hormonal changes. Our breasts change. Our breasts need to be fitted for a bra. For some reason, the majority of women only get fitted once or twice in their lives. This is why 80% of the women wear the wrong bra size.

The emotional hang up! I know several women that squeeze their boobies into the wrong size bras on purpose. They have the emotional need to be a certain size. They do not care about back fat from smaller bras or the overflowing bras or the lack of proper support. They have this image of themselves as a particular size even though subconsciously they know they are bigger. Other women may choose a bra size that is too big. It rides up the back. They pull up the straps to hold it up knowing full well that the support should come from the band. Their boobies get lost in their bras; however, they are able to tell their significant other that they are a larger size than what is the reality. They may emotionally have the need to be the same size as they were in their twenties.

Denial! Even as clothing sizes change, many women still insist on wearing the wrong size. They may not fit into their pants, shirts, or dresses; however, the breasts are more malable and can be squeezed into the wrong size a little easier than other clothing. A wrong fit bra does not look good. It does not feel good. It does not support. Yet, many women choose to wear the wrong size as long as they get some of their breasts into the cups. They keep telling themselves that their boobs do not change.

Cost! Some women do not want to get the correct size bra due to the costs. A good fit bra, especially for a plus size woman costs around sixty dollars. You need to change out bras and you need several. That can add up if you are on a budget. It is easier to trick yourself into wearing the wrong size. You can be creative and finds ways to tighten the bra or loosen the bra. Women own several bras and would have to replace all of them. They like the selection that they chose over the years of strapless bras, support bras, seamless bras, lace bras, sports bras, padded bras, etc... The costs add up at sixty dollars a pop.

The Dilemma! People need to view bras, especially the correct sized bras, as necessities. Bras, although designed to look nice, are meant to support. A proper fit bra is essential to breast, rib, and back health. For large size women, the correct size bra can do wonders. They will prevent pain and keep you from damaging your breast tissue. The cost of a good fit bra is your health. Do not worry about the cost. A wrong fit bra will cost more in doctor bills. Do not worry about your size. It is just a letter and a number. You will look so much better in your clothing with the proper bra sizing. Just be proud of who you are.

Get Fitted-Now! Getting fitted is easy. You can go to most department stores or specialty shops. You can measure yourself. Grab a measuring tape and a mirror and go online and follow directions. Once you know your exact size, go and buy bras. You will feel better. You will look better. It is emotionally healthy to know who you are and what size you are. Finally, bras do wear out and need to be replaced every 6 months anyway. A proper fit bra will make a huge difference in your life both short and long term.
