What effects can an ill-fitting bra have?
Many women wilfully ‘booby trap’ their own breasts by squeezing them into bras that are too tight, or letting them loose in bras that offer little support. Wearing the wrong size bra is something up to 70% of Kiwi women do, leading to bra crimes that include the “four breast syndrome”, where cups runneth over and cause unsightly bulges, and the “saggy baggy’ look where the bra bunches unflatteringly at the top. A bra that rides up is also a sign that it is not fitting properly. As well as affecting appearance, wearing the wrong sized bra can potentially cause problems with the skin, back and posture, as well as obvious discomfort to the breasts. A professional bra fitting is your best protection against both common bra crimes and potential ill effects.
