Linda the Bra Lady

I can’t tell you the number of times women ask me “why do I need to wear a bra?”  And every time I hear that question I am reminded that so many women are severely uneducated when it comes to our breasts. It’s not their fault, women are told to wear a bra but we’ve never really been told why. Hopefully I can answer this timeless question once and for all and empower you in your choice to wear a bra.

First of all, every woman needs a bra… every woman. It doesn’t matter how big your breasts are, you should be wearing a bra. Rather, every woman should be wearing a bra that fits correctly.

One of the biggest problems women face when it comes to bras is wearing the wrong size. Sure, finding the right size bra can be a daunting process at first but once you find the right size, it’s so rewarding. Just think about shopping for jeans. Finding the right size is not a perfect science and your size varies depending on each brand, but once you find the styles that work for your shape, you look and feel better. It’s the same with bras. Once you either get an accurate fitting (something we offer both in our shop and online) and find the best styles for your body, bra shopping becomes a breeze.

And don’t feel bad if your size fluctuates, that’s completely normal and expected. Don’t force yourself into a bra that’s too small or a try to fill in a bra that’s too big, you wouldn’t do that with shoes would you? So if your shoes are too small and uncomfortable, it’s painful and unhealthy for your feet. The same applies to bras.

A properly fitted bra maintains healthy breast tissue, improves your posture, and prevents nipple chaffing. A properly fitted bra also helps you look better by reducing sagging, balancing out your proportions, and making your clothes fit better.

Please stay tuned for more bra knowledge!
