The hidden impact of ill-fitting bras on wellness
We've all been there, constantly adjusting our bra straps or tugging at a too tight underband, desperate to get home and finally take our bra off. This scenario is all too familiar for many women but what we often don't realise is that an ill-fitting bra can have a huge impact on our overall wellness.
Posture matters: A bra that doesn't fit properly can lead to poor posture, which in turn can cause back and neck pain. By providing the right support, a well-fitting bra encourages better posture and helps alleviate these discomforts.
Breathability equals comfort: Have you ever felt suffocated by your bra? It's not just in your head. Bras that are too tight and made of low quality synthetic fabrics can restrict airflow, leading to skin irritation and even affect lymphatic drainage. Opting for the correct size ensures breathability and promotes skin health.
A confidence boost: Confidence plays a crucial role in our overall wellness. Wearing a bra that fits perfectly not only enhances your silhouette but also boosts your self-esteem. When you feel comfortable and confident in your skin, you radiate positivity and inner wellness.
How to find the perfect fit
Now that we understand the importance of a well-fitting bra, let's talk about how to find one:
Measure your size: Don't rely on guesswork. Use our bespoke Nudea Fit Tape to measure yourself at home in just two simple steps. Or if you're not sure, set up a one to one in The Nudea Fitting Room to speak to a bra fitter and receive expert advice on finding the fit for you. Your body deserves it.
Pay attention to details: Consider factors beyond just cup and band size. Look at the bra's silhouette, fabric, and construction. The perfect fit can often depend on the right bra style for your breast shape in order to enhance and support you correctly.
Listen to your body: Your body knows best. Pay attention to how a bra feels as you move. If it's pinching, digging, or causing discomfort in any way, it's time to reassess.
