Mom knows best, but there are certain things she probably didn’t share with you about bras. Bras have been the best friends of your breasts since they grew out. So this is why you need to know that just shopping and wearing a bra that fits isn’t all there is to it. You need to know some extra facts about bras. They are:
The Washing Technique
Your bra care is certainly as essential as making the right choice of bra to wear. It’s advisable to wash your bra every two days to get rid of the accumulated germs. It’s safer for your breasts and health in general.
Bra Sizes Change
Imagine wearing the brasiere your mom gave you when you were first initiated into womanhood. They can’t possibly be comfortable. Your breasts grow too and you therefore need to constantly measure them to ensure that your current bra is just right.
Support doesn’t come from straps
The band of your bra does majority of the support work – however else would strapless bras be comfortable, right? It’s advisable to wear a bra that has a good band to ensure maximum support.
Going to bed with a bra
You can definitely go to bed with a bra if you’re on the big side. If you have a larger bra cup, you can save your bra from the gravity effect by supporting those large babies when you go to bed at night. However, do not use wired bras to bed as this can be very uncomfortable for you.
Store Correctly
You might have gained the habit of folding all your bras by doubling them, it’s not too late to change that. Bras that are padded and have under-wiring should be left in shape by leaving both cups open. This makes them lasts longer.
Bras have expiration dates
If properly cared for, your bra can last an average of 8 months. That’s long enough to save up for more!
