On a scale of one to 10, how much do you hate your bra?
If you’re like most women, you’re probably thinking at least an 11 am I right?
It doesn’t have to be that way, ladies!
Not getting professionally measured
Let’s just start with the obvious here.
Unfortunately, most women aren’t wearing the bra size that fits them best.
“A bra is going to stretch about three inches in its lifetime.
That’s when you go to the next set of hooks,” she said.
Instead, check that you’re adjusting your straps every time you put your bra on.
Does the strap run in astraight line across your back, or is it arching up toward your neck?
If it’s not a straight line all the way around, it probably doesn’t fit.
Lingerie expert Jenny Altman toldWomen’s Healththat not all bras (or their sizes) are created are equal.
“Think of it like jeans.
You’ll likely need to do the same size adjusting when you swap bra styles.
Bra fit specialist Kay-Lin Richardson toldCosmopolitanevery woman should bring a T-shirt when she tries on bras.
She toldHarper’s Bazaarthat in most cases, your bras should always be hand-washed.
“Hand-washing sounds tedious but it’s actually pretty easy,” she said.
Swish around a few times, gently squeeze and then lay flat to dry.”
