If one cup is too small you will find that
part of your breast spills over the top of the cup, you should have a
smooth silhouette when wearing a correctly fitting bra. If the cup is
too big then the cup will seem 'baggy' (when standing still and
upright)
All women have one breast larger than
the other. Even if it is not noticeable, the fact is that nature is
not symmetrical. But for women who have a big bra size the difference
can be more noticeable, and perhaps therefore been seen as a problem.
There, are a handful of solutions
though, which above anything else will make you feel more comfortable,
since you should still be able to get the support you need from your
bra.
Firstly, try a padded bra. This will
make the difference less noticeable and make you feel more
comfortable.
A better option though, especially if
the first suggestion doesn't help, is to get a goo bra which is fitted
for the larger breast. A full cup style might work best, but a plunge
bra should be ok too. Now purchase a pair of gel pads (usually used to
enhance the bust and make it look larger) and use one in the cup with
the smaller breast.
This should fill the rest of the cup
and make you feel much more comfortable and supported.
Issue 2: Bra strap rides up in the
back:
Many women have a larger back size than
they need, in fact this is probably the most common problem. Try
hooking your bra on a tighter setting, also - loosen the straps.
Otherwise try buying at least one back size smaller, you might also
find you need a larger cup size, as the cups will generally be smaller
in the smaller back sizes.
Issue 3: Bra is digs in and pinches
when you move:
Either your bra is too tight, your back
size is too small or the sides of your bra are too narrow for your
figure.
So try loosening your bra, or perhaps
try a larger back size. Otherwise you might just need a better quality
bra, so just experiment a little, not all bras will feel right for
everyone.
A sling bra might be a good option, as
these tend to be softer. They use a clever shape to enhance support
for a more snug fit.
Issue 4: Straps keeping coming off of
shoulders:
This doesn't necessarily mean your
straps are too loose. If tightening the straps doesn't work, don't
just keep making them tighter as this will just cause discomfort. Your
cup size may be too big. The cups of a bra need to be filled properly
so that they hold the correct shape and put the right amount of
tension on the straps, which will in turn hold the straps in place.
I recommend buying 2 or 3 different bra
sizes, experiment and find out what works best. Narrower straps might
help if you happen to have narrow shoulders.
Issue 5: I have stretch marks at the
top of my breasts:
Stretch marks can be caused by a lack
of support, this is very common for women with a larger bra size.
Breakdown of tissue due to lack of
support may cause breasts to sag, creating stretch marks.
You need to find out your true bra size
(around 8 in 10 women are thought to be wearing the wrong bra size to
some extent) in order to make sure you are getting the best support,
and make sure that you get a good high quality supportive bra.
Stretch marks will heal in time, they
may never completely fade (depending on your age and the extent of the
damage) but they will certainly improve if you give them the chance.
I recommend visiting my site and
reading the articles on fitting, there is a lot to go through, but it
will be well worth it for you.
Of course you might also consider going
to get professionally fitted, which is just as good and isn't really
as scary as you might think.
I hope this article has helped anyway,
I will do my best to to write more on this subject, because I know it
is an important topic.
