Ouch! Underwire pain

     Underwire bras leaving the tissues under your breasts sore? This is sadly becoming a more popular complaint to retailers and bra companies. Your bra should never leave bruises or sores on your body. Because of this complaint some women believe that all underwire bras are uncomfortable, this my ladies is FALSE!
     A underwire bra that fits correctly should lie flat against your side without pinching or poking, also it should surround your entire breast. "But now I have spillage on the sides", that simply means your cup is too small- easy fix :)
     Again, a proper fitting will ensure that your cup will fit good, well fitted cups+perfect band= amazing underwire bra! Don't worry if you perfect size is not the size you want to be. It's best to have a larger size then to smush your girls in a too small bra.
     After your measurement your girls may need an adjustment. No worries, their are two simple ways to adjust yourself. One being to scoop your boobs into the wire with the opposite hand. The other calls for you to (yes, this is silly but hey, it works ;))lean forward and wiggle a little.
     There are a few exceptions to wearing underwire bras. For example if you have a high rib cage, suffer from medical conditions like hernial or hiatial, and lastly those going through surgery. For these people you may want to consider a soft up wireless bra.

Bras that bite

     Have you ever put on your favourite bra and favourite flattering shirt, glance in the mirror and notice you have four boobs? Trust me, four girls are not better than two.
     It's simple, if it does fit don't wear it! If your girls are flowing in abundance over your bra, it is evident that that particular cup is too small. That is one of the most common problems with our clients. But no need to fret it is an easy fix. :) You just have to find your proper cup size.
     The key is to have a snug fitting band (not a band that bites, no one wants a band that gives the appearance of back fat) that lies fat across your back. Once this task is complete all you need to do is find the correct cup size. Now, don't be shocked if you find out you're a 36DD and you've been squeezing into a 36C, your best fitting bra could be anything from a AAA-O (yes, O cups exist). :)
    "This bra looks and feels great, but I still have four girls" Fittings are a measure of trial and error. If your band or cup is still biting you the solution is to start from scratch. Your personal shopper will not mind searching high and low for your perfect bra. It's all about you!
