In a survey recently conducted among the female population of the UK, it was found that almost every average Englishwoman has in her wardrobe at least fifteen bras and average spends his whole life about 2700 feet of sterling for the purchase of the necessary parts of the toilet. Impressive! Our compatriots are not as wasteful, and most of us are content with a modest number of copies of this lady's wardrobe items. However, to the choice of bra we come, to put it mildly, strange. Please note either the aesthetic component, or choose a model exclusively for practical reasons.

By the way, the majority of women (both here and abroad) to buy bras are not its size: it is too small will choose, then obviously big. And the reason for that becomes a basic ignorance of the characteristics of the selection of the intimate details of the toilet. What mistakes do we assume when you visit lingerie stores? How to determine your size, and how to choose the right bra? Let's face it.

Beautiful sexy models are often uncomfortable when ladies dressed in them all day. And that lactating women require special models bra, talking excessively. For example.

• Bras come with soft cup (pitted and foam). This cup is usually sewn lace or stretch fabrics.
• Bra with bones (rigid side panels) - an option that is ideal full ladies and women with widely spaced breasts.
• Models with a frame, which is often called bones. This rigid inserts, which are located under the breast and perform maintenance functions. This model is convenient for all occasions. Often combined with a solid frame cup, which provides the correct shape of the breasts in a bra, but there are models with soft cups.
• Strapless bra (like a corset) and sew for large and small breasts. Usually, on the edge of the bra cups enclosing a special tape that provides a snug fit to the body material.
• Bra for nursing women has a special design. It involves cutting or folding clasp in front of the cups.

The second error - illiterate approach to the selection of the model shape of the breast. After all, a woman's breast is not only different sizes but different shapes. Therefore, in different brassieres breast looks different. Yes, and the same bra in different women, too, looks different. Tempted model that is perfect girlfriend on a large lady can miscalculate, get yourself exactly the same.

The definition of comfort

If you know your size, you will just have to try several models of this size range and determine which one you feel most comfortable. How to do it? Try to test for comfort.

Now try to bend alternately in different directions, raise your hands up and move around at all. As a result of these exercises belt bra should not ride up. If this happens, it means that the bra you great, and you need to try a smaller size model. The ideal sitting bra covers the torso band should be level front and rear, that is held just below the chest and under the shoulder blades.

Now pay attention to the shoulder straps, the length of which, by the way, all current models is adjustable. Incidentally, the reason behind the Bullies belt may not only be the wrong amount, but also properly adjust the length strapless. So, the bra straps should not dig into the body and do not have to pull the back belt bra. Another important point - the width of the straps. The larger and heavier than the chest, the straps should be wider at the bra. Let you and it does not seem too elegant, but feel this bra you will be quite comfortable.

And the last thing to note - the cup bra. The upper edge of the cup should not pinch the chest. By the way, it can happen with small-sized cups (not just your size) and a small cup (not just your model). At the same time, the cup should fit snugly to the body, and between her breasts, and there should be no free space. Another important point - the shape of the cup and the shape of the breast it. Stand sideways to the mirror and look at the level of the protruding part of the breast. This level has to go through the middle of the arm from shoulder to elbow. Tighten or loosen the straps bra. If the level is adjusted, and the straps do not dig into your shoulders and do not slip from them, it means that the bra is properly selected.

And be sure to put in a fitting what you came. See how well your new bra holds the breast form under your clothes: you're not going to defile the street or around the office in a bra. In short, the right bra is to hide all the flaws and emphasize the dignity of the female breast. At the same time you should be comfortable with it: the bra should not hamper movement and blood circulation. His task - to lift the lower chest, hard to maintain, and "to gather a bunch of" widely spaced.
