Does Your Bra Fit?

I saw this title on the AOL homepage and obviously, it caught my attention. Therefore, I read it.

It was a relatively short article about how most women these days are just too set into their old bra-buying ways to realize that their bra may not fit them anymore.

"But what most women don't realize is that their bodies are constantly changing. A bra size could change with as little as a five-pound weight loss or gain, changing physical activity or even age."

The article also mentions that you should probably go get fit for a bra every year by a professional at a professional store (Victoria's Secret, Nordstrom, etc.)

I honest to God found this a bit crazy. And if you're a guy, you just aren't going to understand. I mean, I guess I'm one of those women who is set into her ways. I know what bra I wear and thats always what I buy. Just cuz it holds everything together xD

According to this article, there are 4 main things to think about when buying a bra:

The Band: Should be firm against your body to provide most of the support.

The Shoulder Straps: Should not be taking the brunt of the weight. If they're digging into your flesh, you need a firmer fitting band.

The Under Wire: Should encapsulate the breast and should tack firmly against the body.

The Look: If the bra fits properly, your nipples should be on the level of the middle of your upper arm and within your arm span.

If you get a bra that follows these guide lines, you should be all set to go.

So, I thought this was an interesting little article. Definately caught my attention and, for once, I read through the whole article. I think you should deffinately take a look at it here (:
