How to Wear Your Bra Correctly
Or if it’s time to change a new set?
When Desire meets Design, the joy of having comfortable and
beautiful bras for your daily life is an irreplaceable experience.
Here’s all the answers to these questions!
Are you wearing the bras correctly?
Step 1
Slot in the bra through the straps, bend down 45 degree, ensure the wire is right below the breast and buckle up.
Step 2
Swipe along your wire from the underarm to the center pushing all your breast tissue into the cup
Step 3
Stand up straight and check. Do the straps slip down or dig into your shoulders? If so, they may need to be adjusted, until there’s only a gap for 1 finger to fit.
Step 4
Move left and right, raise your hands to see if everything is good to go!
Does the bra suits you?
There’s a few ways to check!
• Try moving your arms around, does the bra move too? If so this might be a sign of issues.
• Does the band feel too tight or too loose? If so, you may need a different band size.
• Do the cups gape in front, or are your breasts spilling over the sides of the cups? In either case, your cup size is probably incorrect.
• If you have an underwire, can you feel it digging into the center or sides of your breasts? This might mean your bra is wrong for your breast shape.
• Do the straps slip down or dig into your shoulders? If so, they may need to be adjusted, or you might need a different bra.
