We know very well that choosing the right bra is not an easy task. Before buying, you should consider the issue of possible reinforcements, the style of the bra, the color, the material, the texture, and, of course, the right size. It is also worth adding that numerous studies show that a very large proportion of us wear a bra every day that does not support our breasts properly!
Interestingly, many women believe that the most popular and universal size is 75B. Is this true and where does it come from? We're going to find out today!
Why is size 75B so popular?
Is the popularity of this size due to the fact that so many of us have similar dimensions? Unfortunately, no. The problem, however, lies mainly in the offers of chain stores , as well as sellers who lack the proper knowledge and often mislead customers.
Popular opinion is that 75B is the golden mean - between small and large breasts , to be precise. Following this, it is not surprising that on the hangers of chain stores it is in this size that we will find the most models and have the largest selection. The aforementioned advice from inexperienced salespeople does not help either, and what's more, they very often hurt us. Especially if we have been wearing the wrong bra size for years.
Should you avoid size 75B? Of course not! However, it's important to remember that it's the same size as any other - it will only work under certain conditions.
Why is a good fit so important?
A well-chosen bra is, above all, a guarantee of our comfort, but also the basis for proper breast support, which directly translates into our health. Wearing the wrong-sized bra can negatively affect the condition of our spine, force poor posture, and cause painful abrasions.
Visual aspects are also important, as only a well-fitting bra will properly shape the breasts and make them appear fuller.
The correct size is only one piece of the puzzle
We have already mentioned several times how extremely important it is to have the right bra size . However, it is important to remember that the whole process does not end with cup size and circumference.
It's important to remember that despite similar measurements, bras of different sizes can fit us. This is due to the shape of the breasts, the condition and firmness of the bust, among other things. The structure of the bra itself, and especially the stiffeners and push-ups used in it, are also important.
How to recognize a bad bra?
- Pressure on the straps,
- breasts sagging too low, rubbing and chafing,
- upper edge of the bra not adhering to the chest,
- breast protruding from the top or side,
- floating from the back of the bra.
If you experience any of these symptoms while wearing a bra all day, it's a sign that it's worth visiting a bra specialist and taking measurements again. A good solution would also be to use the bra selection method based on sister sizes.
