Why All Women Should Get A Professional Bra Fitting
The right bra can change the way your clothes fit, your posture, and even your attitude. It might sound silly, but wearing a bra that fits well is life-changing. Increased confidence, happiness, and comfort are common effects of wearing a bra in the correct size.
Unsurprisingly, the health benefits are numerous and include decreased stress, decreased breast tissue discomfort, and decreased back pain. This is why I firmly believe that all women, regardless of bra size, should make a bra fitting a priority.
What is a bra fitting?
You should consider a professional bra fitting if you’ve recently lost or gained weight, become pregnant, gave birth, or started nursing.It’s a good idea to visit an expert if you feel any discomfort or pain while wearing your bras, if your bra size has changed, or if none of your bras currently fit.It’s also important to see a professional bra fitter if you’re experiencing any of the following with your current bras: breast tissue spilling out of the cups, cups gaping, wires popping out, breast tissue and underarm soreness while wearing the bra, straps falling off your shoulders, the bra riding up in the back, band feeling too tight or too loose, etc.
Even if you aren’t currently experiencing any issues with your bras, it’s still a good idea to get a professional bra fitting every 6 months to one year. The average life span of a bra is 3-6 months, so realistically, you’ll likely need new every day bras around that time anyway!
From my own experience as a professional bra fitter, bra fitting is an extremely rewarding job and one that is treated with respect, care, and confidentiality. In fact, there are many wonderful lingerie boutiques with expert owners and employees that share the same passion and appreciation for lingerie and bra fitting. Most of their employees complete extensive training and certification programs before they can fit clients.
I encourage you to explore and support your local lingerie boutiques and retailers. They provide a unique and necessary experience that can’t be duplicated online or anywhere else. No online bra sizing calculator or how to measure guide will give you the same experience provided at a specialty boutique.
