We all have a love-hate relationship with our bras.
If treated well, and worn the right way-
they can enhance your body and outfit, but if not,
can cause suffocation and discomfort.
In this video we’re going to highlight
common mistakes you might be making
with your bras & easy ways to rectify them
for a pain free bra experience!
Type BRA in the comments below and we’ll send you
an easy bra buying guide!
Start by hooking your new bras at the last hook
and keep going tighter as it starts wearing off.
This will make sure you get the perfect fit
and your bra lasts longer.
Not all bras will give you the desired look
and comfort for a particular outfit.
So pick your bras as per your most worn outfits.
For example A versatile multi-way bra can be ideal for
your low back outfits
Wireless molded bras are great for a long day
or a long night of dancing at a sangeet function.
Backless bras are great for an invisible look
Seamless bras are perfect for thin & clingy fabrics
Bras are the closest layer of clothing to your skin,
which makes it super important
for them to be cleaned everyday.
But what we don’t often realize is that
they contain elasticity which needs atleast
a day to breathe and go back to its original shape.
Overstraining the fibres may cause your bra
to wear out very quickly.
Tight bras are a big no for breast health-
apart from making you feel highly suffocated
they can also restrict blood circulation and impair the lymph tissues.
Since it might not always be feasible to buy
a new one right then- here are two easy ways
to fix this problem.
You can simply use a paperclip that will act
as a space in between the tight bra band.
Or get hold of a bra extender as it increases
the width of the bra making it comfortably loose
Most of us keep wearing a bra even if it has pilling
which when clubbed with sweat and
humidity leaves our skin with painful rashes.
The easiest way to keep this at bay is to
use a razor to gently scrap the excess thick fabric
Try this, and your skin will thank you.
With all the focus usually on the fit of the bra band,
we often ignore the fit of our straps.
If they are too tight they can cause blisters
and rashes & if they're too loose, they can
keep falling off.
For the most comfortable fit, make sure your
straps are loose enough for two fingers to glide through.
Just like all good things, even the lifespan
of your bras come to an end after 8-9 months.
Holding on to old ones can do more harm than
good to your posture, blood circulation and
even the shape of your breasts.
So remember to bid a goodbye to your bras
and replace them with new ones.
Your everyday bras can seem to provide a lot
of support and comfort for your daily routines,
but the bounce-control and support you need
during your exercise can only be provided
by sports bras as they have a lot more stretch
and are designed to absorb sweat as well.
This keeps your skin and breasts in great health!
As a rule of thumb, your bra bands should
always be parallel to the floor.
If you're sporting one that is riding towards
your shoulders or way too below could mean
that the bra is ill-fitting and could lead
to aches and pains in your neck and shoulder areas.
We hope this video has helped you understand
the do’s and don'ts when it comes to wearing
your bra!
Until next time stay tuned and stay Glamrs
