When was the last time you had yourself measured for the correct bra size? Do you even know your correct size?
These questions are pertinent to you getting the right bra, as well as saving you money and undue stress. To help you avoid some common pitfalls, I have listed a few more important questions that you really need to ask yourself, before buying a bra:
-Do your bra straps dig into your shoulders or rib cage?
-Does your bra ride up your back?
-Is the front of the band too tight to get a finger under?
-Do your bra cups feel slightly empty or too full?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then the likelihood is that you are not wearing the right size. You should not assume that the size you were two or three years ago is the same size you are today. Your body will change, as will your bra size. If you have lost or gained weight, chances are that you will need to change your bra wardrobe.
