Wearing the wrong bra size will not only put a strain on the back and shoulders, but may also cause damage to breast tissue. And once damaged breast tissue won’t repair itself and can lose its firmness over time. That’s why it’s always crucial to invest in a properly-fitted bra

•  Never rush the purchase. Take time to browse, and if you’re unsure about your size ask one of the sales assistants to take your measurements, and advise you on the best fit. They should be well-versed in their knowledge on bras and knickers. Also, tell them what you’re planning to wear with the underwear you’re buying. This way they can offer more specific sugges­tions to match your outfit.
• Take your time when trying out a bra. Jump up and down, or move around to test the bra’s support, com­fort level and if it fits well.
• Underwear that fits properly should allow your skin to breathe in order to keep skin as dry as possible. It’s always preferable to go for natural fabrics such as cotton, which is gentler on this delicate area.
•  Next, find the style that suits you best. Make your choice based on your lifestyle, body structure and personal preferences.
