Did you know that 80% of women wear the WRONG bra size?!? About 70% wear a bra that is too small and around 10% wear one that is too big.
Why is this a common problem amongst women? Well, according to Google:
- No Industry Standard: Bra sizes aren’t standardized, so a 34C can vary greatly between brands.
- Lack of Education: Many women aren’t taught how to properly measure or fit themselves.
- Breast Changes: Weight fluctuations, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, and aging change breast size, requiring re-fitting.
This can lead to undesirable consequences, which according to Google again are: Shoulder, neck, and back pain. Skin irritation and scarring, poor posture, and chronic discomfort. On a budget? Get fitted for free, then surf the Internet for a deal! WHERE can you get fitted? Well, there are a few stores known for free fittings:
