Wearing the Wrong Bra Size?

Can you imagine if we went through life wearing the wrong size shoe?

Wearing the wrong bra size is just as detrimental as trying to fit your size 9 foot into an 8.5. The wrong shoe will give you walking problems, calluses and screwed up bone structure and wearing the wrong bra size, which studies have shown that 70-80 percent of us women do, can have a major impact on your health.

Lack of support can cause pain and discomfort and if your bra is too tight, this can dig into your skin leaving marks or even constrict your breathing. Sometimes the best way to get rid of that back bulge (we all HATE that back bulge) is to wear the right size bra. Here are some signs to help detect if you are wearing the wrong bra size:

1. Spillage If your breasts spill over the top or sides of your bra, increase the band and/or cup size.

2. Puckering If cups wrinkle or pucker, choose a smaller size.

3. Riding up A bra should fit snugly. If it creeps up in the back, trade it in for one with a tighter band.

4. Jutting The underwire isn't flush against your rib cage; it should be.

5. Grooves If straps dig into your flesh, try a style with wider straps or a different cup size -- either bigger or smaller.
