Why You Should Wear A Bra?

Well, there is a never-ending debate on the pros & cons of not wearing a bra. However, most women believe in wearing a bra because of its many benefits. So let’s go through it

1. Support: Your breasts are made of fat tissues, mammary glands and muscles. They don’t have any bones to provide support. That’s why we have bras to do that. Irrespective of your bust size, they need support. And a well-fitted bra does that. It provides support to the breasts, which can help alleviate discomfort and pain, especially during physical activity.
2. Shape: Since your breasts don’t have bones there is no defined shape. Wearing a bra can help create a more flattering and defined shape for the breasts, which can enhance your overall appearance.
3. Comfort: Bra offers comfort to your bust. The sense of comfort & security boosts self-esteem. 
4. Posture: A good bra helps distribute the weight of the breasts evenly which results in improved posture. Apparently alleviate strain on the neck, shoulders, and back.

Know The Anatomy of Your Bra

The style changes many elements in a bra but the anatomy remains the same. To get a right bra for yourself you should know the anatomy of a bra. 

1. Cups: They can be padded, non-padded, stitched, seamless and molded. They help form a structure to hold & support your bust like a glove.
2. Band: The band covers the rib cage and holds the cups in place. Most of the support comes from only its band. The band has an elastic along the hemline to provide a snug fit.
3. Straps: They are made of elastic materials and help hold the cups in place. Straps are adjustable to provide you with a snug fit. Some bras come with detachable straps that allow you to style the bra in many ways. 
4. Hook & eye closure: The closure makes a bra the most secure. However, there are some slip-on bras which don’t have hook & eye closures. Usually, bras have hook & eye closure at the back and have 2 or 3 rows of eyes for custom fitting. Some bras have G-hook closure in that case and have an adjuster to provide you with customized fitting.
5. Adjuster: An adjuster helps you get the customized fitting. Usually, a bra has two adjusters on the shoulder straps. Some bras have an adjuster on the back band as well.

Know The Types of Bra

We can broadly categorize bras into two main categories: padded & non-padded. The rest of the styles fall under either category. So let’s get started with styles/types of bras:

1. T-Shirt Bra: It is one of the most popular styles among ladies because of the comfort & fit it offers. A T-shirt bra offers a seamless silhouette and does not show through body-hugging outfits. They are usually padded, lightly padded and double-layered for modesty.
2. Push-Up Bra: As the name suggests this bra pushes the cleavage towards the center and uplifts them, as a result, the illusion of bigger & firmer cups. Push-up bras usually have padding or underwire to lift and shape the breasts.
3. Strapless Bra: No strings attached! A strapless bra is designed to be worn without straps, making it suitable for strapless or off-the-shoulder tops and dresses. Strapless bras have silicone lining to avoid slipping downwards. And side boning to stop the bra from rolling downwards.
4. Maternity Bra: Also known as feeding bras are great for breastfeeding moms. These bras have full coverage and an opening on the front for convenient feeding purposes.
5. Teen Bra: A teen bra is also known as a beginner's bra. It’s the very first bra of a girl. It comes with soft removable pads. Teens' bras don’t have any hooks & eyes for closure however they have a slip-on design for easy wearing.
6. Balconette Bra: A balconette bra has cups that are cut low and angled upward, providing lift and shaping to the breasts. They are often designed with wide-set straps that are ideal for scoop-neck or low-cut tops.
7. Front-open Bra: As the name suggests, the front-open bra opens at the front and has a G-hook for closure. The coverage of cups is demi.
8. Demi Coverage: Demi means half, in terms of bra demi coverage, means half or ¾ coverage. This bra is ideal for an outfit with a slightly low neckline.

12. Halter Neck Bra: The strap makes the style different. In this bra, the strap goes over the neck and connects with the other shoulder. Some halter neck bras come with a tie-up style where you can tie both straps behind your neck. It goes well with halter neck tops.
13. Backless Bra: As the name suggests, this style is ideal for a backless top. This bra has a transparent back band and a G-hook for closure.
14. Transparent Bra: This style is more like a backless bra but the straps are also transparent.

How To Choose The Right Bra for Yourself? 

Find Your True Size:  This is the first and foremost step to buying the right for yourself. Do you know your breast size changes every six months? Hence you must get yourself measured by an expert to find a bra that fits you like a glove.

Consider The Purpose: Purpose helps you find the bra that you need. Because different bras are designed to serve different purposes. You can’t wear a push-up bra to the gym, you need a sports bra for that. 

Consider The Style: Even if you need a push-up bra that too comes in many styles. You need to understand your body type. Choose a style that suits your clothing and personal preferences.

Fabric: The fabric of the bra has to be comfortable and make yourself feel comfortable as well. The best fabric to consider is cotton. But according to the occasion, you need fabric such as powernet, lace or polyamide, etc.

Straps: Another important thing in a bra is the straps. The straps must be broad enough to not dig on your shoulder, Most bras have cushioned straps to keep away dark marks. Go with adjustable or detachable straps as per your need. 

Always Try On The Bra: After selecting your favorite piece do try it on to ensure the fitting.
