Top Mistakes Women Make When Buying Bras

Often when you feel a little discomfort or even pain when wearing a bra, you immediately blame your undergarment: it is poorly made, it is not worth the bucks, it is already old. The main problem, however, is you. You have made the wrong choice in buying one.

You are probably making a bra mistake if you commit the following:

You think all sizes are the same

There is no such thing as a generic bra size as breasts are not created equal. Some are huge, others small. Finding the right size for your breast should be your utmost priority. Today, if you shop online, you will not have a hard time determining your cup size. All you have to do is to look for the size chart. Sometimes it has directions on how to measure your own breasts, and the figures you can easily compare to those in the chart.

You go for the cheapest bra

Purchasing pricier bras is more than just for the sake of fashion or style. More expensive bras often have firmer back and front support. The fabric is properly sewed so under wires do not protrude and scratch your breast skin. They also have ample cup to properly cover the breasts, especially if they are quite large.

You are ashamed to ask for help

Let us face it, many women are insecure with their breast size. But if you want to find good fitting bra, then you should get over your fear. Otherwise, you will pick a size that is either too large or too small, which can deform the shape of the breast or cause pain. If you have questions, do not be afraid to voice it out. If you are ashamed to talk to someone face-to-face, then get the seller’s e-mail or call.

You wait for a very long time before buying a new bra

Bras have to be updated at least once or twice a year. Breasts can change their forms a lot of times all throughout your life. They grow bigger once you gain weight, are pregnant or lactating, or undergo breast augmentation. They become smaller as you age or lose the unwanted pounds.

You do not ask for a refund policy

If you are doing online bra shopping, see to it that there is a money-back guarantee or a refund policy. Sometimes the advertised size is different from the actual. It is also possible that the bra is badly designed, and you are not satisfied with how it fits.

A lot of problems can occur because of a wrong bra size and style. Bras can hurt your back, cause the breasts to spill over or sag, as well as deform your breasts. Make the right choice. Take time in choosing.
