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.

The main issue with wearing the wrong bra size is the lack of support your boobs will get. 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. To help you check whether you’re wearing the wrong size, we’ve outlined the most common bra problems for you…

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.
