Best Bra Problems

If you are like most women, you think the pinching and slipping brasare are normal and unavoidable. And you’d probably never dream that a bra could make your clothes look amazing. Well you might think about compression girdles or Eye masks. But the truth is,a good bra is the foundation for everything else you put on. Pick the right one, and you won’t even know it’s there—except for the fact that your sweaters and dresses will sit better, and your T-shirts will look neater. So what’s the secret to finding the perfect bra? Fit is key, obviously,and it turns out that 47 percent of us have trouble finding our size in the bra we want. But style, color, and shape count too. You might wanna use surgical bras, but first of all let me show you some points. here are some problems those exist:

- spillage. This staffer says she never seemed to haveenough coverage in her bra. “I feel like I’mpouring out,” she complained. Solution and tip: When trying on a molded bra, push inthe nipple area; it bounces back if the bra fits.

- support. She thought regular bras were too flimsy tohold her breasts. Out of desperation, she often wore a sports bra. Her breasts weresagging and migrating under her arms. Solution: A Chantelle that reveals some skin but gives her more coverage. Also, it’s a size 40DD—three sizesbigger than she was wearing! The straps are also wider, but the scalloped edge makesthe bra look feminine and sexy.

- back bulge. In addition to overhang, her problems included straps that left indentations,cups that rode up, and discomfort. Solution: A Wacoal 44DDD that’s one cup size bigger than she was wearing. Also, the band was increased 2 inches with a bra extender.The cut of this bra is more generous all around, helping to banish all that“back fat.

- gaping cups. After breast-feeding, this woman’s chest shrank, making bra shopping a real challenge. “I’m thinking I might have to cross over to the teen section,” she said. Solution: A molded-cup bra. Since the cups are lightly padded and shaped, they fill herout and give her a boost. This Chantelle also has an underwire, which helps lift and fill the cups and gives hera more rounded look.

- asymmetry. Almost every woman has one breast thatis smaller than the other, but this staffer’sproblem was very pronounced. It causedone cup to “dimple” from not being filledout enough; it also caused falling straps. Solution: A new bra type. A shallow cup in the Simone Perele gave both breasts enough coverage, but didn’t give the smaller one a hollowed-out look.The molded cups also create shape.
