There are many varieties of bras on the market, and the choice of bras varies from person to person, so how should women choose a bra that suits them, and can prevent diseases while being beautiful?
Small classes
Look at the chest type
► Round: If your breasts are full in the upper and lower halves, then they are round. People with this type of bust type are like wearing a natural bra and don't need a bra with special features.
► Expanded breasts: If your nipples point to the left and right, or your breasts expand to the left and right, then you have an expanded breast. This group of people is advised to use a T-shirt bra, which allows the enlarged breasts to focus inward.
►Lateral breast type: If your two breast chambers have obvious flat space, it is a side breast type. This group of people has a fuller upper chest than those with an extended chest and can wear a bra with shallow cups.
► Teardrop: If your breasts are round, but your upper breasts are slightly smaller and saggy, it is a teardrop-shaped breast. This group of people is suitable for all types of bras.
► Slim type: If your breasts are fleshless in the upper part and full in the lower half, and the top and bottom are longer than the width from side to side, then it is a slim breast type, this type of breast is usually smaller in size. A padded bra can make the breasts of such people look fuller.
► Large and small breasts: In fact, most women have different breast sizes, but if the difference in breast size between the two sides is very obvious, it is large and small breasts. It is recommended that these people add padding on the low side and not on the other side to make the chest look more symmetrical.
►Bell shape: The bell breast shape is roughly an enlarged version of the slim breast type, because the length is longer and sagging, so it is recommended to use a bra with strong support to lift the sagging chest upward.
Measure your bust
Circumference is measured by circumambulating the breast horizontally along the bottom edge of the breast with a ruler, and then circumnavigating horizontally from the highest point of the breast bulge with a ruler is the upper bust. Then, subtracting the lower bust from the upper bust gives you a value, which is the size of the corresponding cup.
For example, if your upper bust is 82 cm and your bottom bust is 70 cm, then your cup size is 12 cm. At this time, you may have to ask, we usually say A cup, B cup, what is this 12 cm? Look at the comparison table below, the difference between the upper and lower bust corresponds to the cup that we usually use letters. It can be seen here that the closest difference between the upper and lower busts of 12 cm is the B cup. The size identification on the underwear trademark is usually a number plus a letter, such as 70B, which means that the underwear is suitable for women with a bust of 70 cm and a cup of B.
Try on bras
When wearing a bra, tilt your upper body forward 45°, place all your breasts into the cups, grasp the bra straps with both hands at the same time, and fasten the back buckle behind your back. After getting up and standing naturally, tuck the fat (not accessory breasts) on the edge of the bra into the cup with your hands, adjust the position of the nipple so that it is exactly at the highest point of the bra, and finally adjust the shoulder straps to the right length.
I choose a bra
►Look at the shoulder straps: For a well-fitting bra, the strength of the shoulder straps should be just right, and the back shoulder straps should be completely vertical. Only in this way can the U-shaped structure of the back play the best role. If the lower edge of the bra runs up, it means that the lower circumference of the bra is a little bigger, and if the shoulder straps feel a little tight (if they can't be adjusted), it is most likely that the cup is small.
►Look at the cups: the shape of the breasts coincides with the circumference of the cups, the edges of the upper part of the cups do not form strangulation marks on the breasts, and there will be no fat running out of the cups when swinging the arms up and down, and the cups lightly wrap the breasts.
►Look at the "chicken heart position": the junction of the two cups ("chicken heart position") should be gently attached to the chest cavity and have a moderate tightness. If it is upturned outward, it means that the bra is a little small.
► Sit down and try: In daily life, we are often sitting, so when trying on a bra, be sure to sit down and feel it to see if it fits well and whether the effect is as good as when standing.
►Look at the fabric: try to choose a bra with skin-friendly fabrics, such as cotton fabrics, and chemical fiber fabrics should not be chosen.
Misunderstandings
Wearing a tight bra can shape the breasts
No. Wearing a bra too tightly can cause lymphatic vessels to be blocked, affecting blood circulation, and may also lead to breast tissue lesions for a long time. Therefore, female friends should wear bras correctly. If you are losing weight, weight loss will be accompanied by breast reduction, so you need to change the right bra in time. In addition, it is best for women not to wear a bra for more than 12 hours a day.
Tips:
Self-examination of the breasts
Take a look: Take off your clothes, cross your hands on your waist, face the mirror, and check whether the nipples are retracted and deviated, and the skin of the breasts is not dimple and orange peel.
Second touch: Take a sitting or supine position, put your fingers together, and touch the palm of your fingers and the front half of your palm flat on the breast (do not grasp and pinch the breast to prevent mistaking the breast lobules for a lump), check whether there is a lump and tenderness in the breast, and whether the size, shape, texture, surface state, range of motion, and boundary of the lump are clear.
3. Squeeze: Use your thumb and index finger (index finger) to gently pinch the nipple to see if there is any fluid overflow.
