Wearing the Wrong Bra Size
It is really important that we all fit ourselves regularly as you will not remain the same bra size throughout your life.
We women go through many changes – age, puberty, pregnancy, the contraceptive pill, general weight gain and loss are all factors in the changing size and shape of our boobs.
The main issue with wearing the wrong bra size is the lack of support your boobs will get. Wearing the wrong size can cause neck, shoulder and back ache due to the weight of the boobs pulling the bra up at the back. If your bra is not supportive enough, your muscles have to do all the work. Not only may you suffer from aches but the bra may also rub and cause skin irritations.
Wearing the wrong bra size can also mean the wires of the bra sit on your breast tissue. The wires should encase and support your boobs and should not be on the breast tissue as this causes unnecessary pressure.
It's also worth remembering that you could be one size in one style and a slightly different size in another because bras vary both from make to make and style to style. For that reason we would always advise you to spend a few moments checking each new bra you buy fits you correctly, just like you would do if you were buying a new pair of shoes.
