Is Your Bra Affecting Your Health?
Breast cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer among women, with 192,000 new cases expected in the U.S. this year. It affects one in eight American women and causes more deaths in women under 55 than any other cancer.
The fear of breast cancer is something we all share. It can be daunting to think about, but there’s an aspect of breast health we can control: our choice of bra.
The Impact of Wearing the Wrong Size
Shockingly, 80% of American women are wearing the wrong bra size, often too small and uncomfortable. The health of your breasts relies on proper circulation and lymph flow. A regular care routine that includes self-exams, doctor visits, mammograms, and, crucially, a well-fitting bra is essential for healthy breasts.
Finding the Perfect Fit
A poorly fitting bra can cause discomfort and impede circulation. Fortunately, finding a perfect fit is straightforward with the help of an expert. In the past, “brassiere ladies” in neighborhood lingerie shops could determine your size at a glance. Today, their modern counterparts, lingerie fitters, offer similar expertise in major department stores.
These professionals take precise measurements to determine your size and recommend styles based on your needs. Is your bra for everyday wear, sports, or special occasions? Discussing this with a fitter can save you money and avoid a drawer full of bras that don’t work for you.
Proper Bra Fitting Techniques
1. Putting on a Bra: Bend forward, fasten the bra, and ensure the cup fully contains your breast. Adjust as needed if there is any spillover or underhang.
2. Adjust the Fit: Smooth the skin into the cup, check the strap comfort, and ensure your nipples are centered in each cup.
3. Check the Back: The back of the bra should sit smoothly between your shoulder blades. A deep breath should feel comfortable.
Buying Tips
- Get Measured Regularly: Especially after weight changes, pregnancy, or hormone therapy.
- Avoid Buying Without Trying: Sale racks are tempting but often not worth it unless you know the brand and style.
- Select the Right Type: For full breasts, consider underwire. For a minimizing effect, choose a minimizer bra. Soft cup bras can offer support without an underwire.
Important Reminders
- If a bra is uncomfortable, get rid of it, regardless of the cost.
- A well-fitting bra shouldn’t ride up, dig in, or slip off shoulders.
- Always try several sizes while shopping, and remember that the best fit is often on the middle hook.
- Refresh your bra wardrobe each season.
- If you love a bra, buy more than one.
- Never dry bras in a dryer.
Taking care of your breast health involves wearing the right bra. By following these guidelines, you can ensure comfort, proper support, and potentially better overall health.
