Bras and bra fitting

Bras come in various styles, fabric and colours. It is important, however, that the bra you have chosen fits you correctly.

Over 70% of the female population are walking around with the wrong size bra. The questions to ask yourself if your bra is the correct size is as follows:

1. Is your bust enclosed within the cups, if so you should have a smooth line where the material at the top of the cup ends and meets your bust? There should be no bulging or ridges on the sides or tops of the cups.

2. Are the wires in the front flat against your rib cage, do they rub, dig in or poke out at the front?

3. If you stand sideways at a mirror, is the strap horizontal that circles your body, does it ride up your back at all? The strap that circles your body should be firm but comfortable.

The reason you need a good sports bra is that your bust has no muscles and they will bounce, without a good bra, during exercises. This, as you know, will lead to a sagging chest!
