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?

This advice is even more important for teenagers who are just beginning to wear bras.

Bras come in all shapes and sizes; from tiny soft bras for girls of 10 to very supportive under-wired bras designed for the fuller figure.
