Bras Mistakes
Listing the top 4 bra mistakes you should avoid.- Saggy breasts
- Breathlessness
- Backpain
- Skin damage(rashes, skin irritation)
- Increased risk of breast cancer
- The bra size differs from brand to brand, therefore make sure to keep an eye on your bra size while buying bras.
- Your breast size may actually fluctuate from time to time, especially during puberty, pregnancy, and breast-feeding. Hence, make sure to measure your bra size before every purchase.
- The sweat and dirt deposited in your bra might chafe your skin.
- It might create an unpleasant smell.
- Use detergents that are bleach-free and alcohol-free
- If your bras are delicate, using your hands to wash to make them last longer.
- Bra straps falling off your shoulder
- The fabric is not stretchy enough
- Gaping in cups
Panty Mistakes

Shapewear Mistakes
Who doesn’t love a little extra shaping power under their favourite dress or jeans? Let’s dive into the top shapewear hiccups and simple swaps to keep you smooth, supported and smiling from sunrise to last call.- Problem – Wearing shapewear that’s too tight can dig into your skin, make it hard to breathe and even cut off circulation, leaving you uncomfortable and red-marked all day. Solution – Always follow the brand’s size chart and choose the size that gives gentle support, not painful compression. When in doubt, size up.
- Problem – Wearing firm-control shapewear all day, every day can weaken your core muscles over time, leave deep waistband lines and cause soreness. Solution – Reserve strong-compression pieces for special occasions or shorter wear. On regular days, opt for lighter ‘everyday’ styles or slip into a comfortable camisole shaper instead.
- Problem – Shapewear made of non-breathable or synthetic materials traps heat and moisture, which can lead to irritation, rashes or yeast infections. Solution – Look for moisture-wicking blends (like nylon–spandex with a cotton gusset) and mesh-panel designs that promote airflow in high-heat areas.
- Problem – Skipping proper wash care breaks down the elastic fibres, so your shapewear loses its smoothing power—and can develop bacteria. Solution – Hand-wash in lukewarm water with a mild detergent (no fabric softener!), gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat to dry to preserve shape and hygiene.
- Problem – Choosing one generic piece means you might get lots of compression in the wrong spots—hips too tight but barely any tummy control, for example. Solution – Pick styles with targeted support zones: high-waist shorts for midsection smoothing, thigh-slimmers for leg definition or full-body suits for all-over shaping.
- Problem – Relying on shapewear as a “magic fix” for weight loss can be demotivating and uncomfortable if it’s your only strategy. Solution – Treat shapewear as a confidence booster for your outfit, not a substitute for healthy eating and regular exercise.
- Problem – Draping a saree over regular shapewear can create visible lines, uneven bulges, or cause the petticoat to slip down, leaving your silhouette anything but smooth.
