Go For the Perfect Fit

 

How important can a bra be? The bra is the most important item of clothing a woman puts on in the morning. A great fitting bra that provides the proper support can enhance your appearance and your attitude. In some cases, having a properly fitted bra can make you look like you just lost 10 pounds.

 

Are my breasts doomed to sag?  Obviously you want to preserve the round shape and firmness of your breasts. Ligaments connect the breast to the muscles of the chest wall. These ligaments will lose elasticity with age, causing some sagging. However, other factors can contribute to the sagging of your breasts such as pregnancy, hormone therapy, being overweight, a sudden loss of weight, going braless, wearing an incorrectly fitted bra or having naturally large breasts.

 

Can a poorly fitted bra lead to health problems? Throughout a woman’s life her breasts are affected by that insidious enemy—gravity. Without proper support the ligaments can stretch, leading to prolonged sagging. In some women, the nutrient-rich blood flow can be impeded and the lymphatic system that carries toxic products from the breast cannot function as efficiently. Some women have experienced headaches, neck pain, back strain and indentations in their shoulders because the weight of the breast wasn’t properly distributed. With the right fit, you can enhance your attractiveness and comfort while avoiding the ill effects a poor-fitting bra can have on your health and well being.
