LINGERIE FACTS
The average lifespan of a well-worn bra is about six months.
The average woman wears six different bra sizes over her lifetime. Yes, your bra size changes with your age and weight.
The same cup and underwire are used in sister sizes meaning a 34C measures the same as a 36B size bra and so on
An ill-fitting bra can cause various health problems such as neck and back pain, sagging breasts, etc
Breasts are largely made up of fatty tissue, meaning the more fat a person has, the bigger the breasts.
A new bra must always be worn on the first outermost set of hooks and adjusted to the innermost set of hooks as the bra gets stretched out.
There are five specific areas to verify if your bra is fitting correctly — the band, straps, cups, underwire and center gore (aka the space in between your breasts)
Wearing an accessory known as nipple covers provides a shield to avoid prominent erect nipples.
Only 10% of your bra's support should come from your bra straps. If the straps are digging in or slipping off the shoulder, you probably need to shift to a bigger or smaller band size.
The correct bra style will have your breasts pointing forward so that you may freely swing your arms forward and backward without obstruction.
Asymmetric breasts are when they don't match in size, shape, or position and it's very common in women.
A bikini panty modeled after the original bikini swimsuit style has a waistband that rests below the navel on the hips. They typically provide medium bottom coverage and have slightly higher cut sides.
Cleavage is the vertical line created between a woman's breasts - not the bulging breast tissue caused by a push-up bra. Cleavage comes from the word "cleave" to separate or divide in two.
Breasts should sit comfortably in the bra cups without any gaping or overflowing. Incase of gaping, you need a smaller cup size and if they are overflowing try a larger cup size.
The apex of your breasts should be mid-way between your shoulders and your elbows. Uplifted breasts look more youthful and give a slimming appearance.
