Bra fitting an exact science, you have got to be kidding!!!

Intimate-Secrets.co.uk — Fri, 21 May 2010 15:34:58 +0000

How many times have you been in to one of our high street favorite’s for a bra fitting only to approached by the Saturday girl with the dreaded tape measure to tell you exactly what size bra you should be wearing and come away from the store with a bra that makes you look like your boobs have gone south, or just simply feeling like they are being pushed out of the top of the bra.
A correctly fitting bra can make any outfit by giving you the correct shape and as the summer comes this becomes more important than ever as we girls shed those heavy winter clothes and bring out our sexy summer wardrobe.
A statistic often quoted is that 80% of women are wearing the wrong size bra and when summer arrives boy do you see it. Sagging boobs, bouncing unsupported boobs, four boobs not two as god intended, come on girls what’s going on.
Sure the tape measure gives you a starting point, but bra fitting is so much more than this, it’s about fit and getting a cup style that’s right for you which will influence the clothes you buy.
When you try on a bra you should find that the bra band sits straight around your back and should be a snug fit, not loose or to tight and digging in. Having established this the wires under the cups should sit flat under the bust. If you find that it isn’t you may want to try a bigger cup size as your breasts should be fully enclosed by the bra cups with the wires of the cups sitting snugly under each breast against your rib cage. This is vitally important as the wires of the cups will also help to give your boobs support and help stop them flying around when you move about or walk.
If you get the right cup size the breasts should be fully enclose within the bra and you should not have four boobs showing as your breast tissue is pushed up and over the top of the cups due to the cups not been big enough.
You should also take great care when selecting the cup style of your bra. If your breast tissue has become not as firm as it once was possibly due to child birth or age you may find that a plunge cup is simply not suitable as you may feel you are falling out all the time. You may also once again end up with four boobs due to your boobs not been enclosed within the cups. In this situation try a balconnet style, or just simply a full cup bra.
Don’t be afraid to adjust your bra straps also to lift your bust, the straps should not dig in to your shoulders but should equally not slip off every five minutes.

So if you follow your instinct and these simple rules and don’t just follow what the tape measure says you will end up with a more flattering look, a better bust shape, improved posture, and thinner looking waste as your boobs will not be there and you will feel more confident.
Best of all that new summer dress or top you have just bought will look simply fabulous and you will be able to walk down the street with you head held high knowing that your fabulous boobs look great, are properly supported and are not going to fall out.

Do you know what bra to wear to give you look you want ?

Intimate-Secrets.co.uk — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 21:15:42 +0000

When you’re lingerie shopping for a bra do you get confused about the many cup styles available, what kind of shape the bra will give and if it’s the right bra cup style for you, we take a look.

From full cup to half cup, soft cup to minimiser there are so many bra styles these days it’s enough to confuse any woman, so we thought it was about time the differences were explained.

Half Cup
A half cup bra as the name suggests offers less breast coverage and is generally cut to 1″ above the nipple.
Most Half cup bras are designed with a slight tilt to push the breasts towards the centre for enhanced cleavage and move breast tissue from under the arms, thus not surprisingly most push-up bras are half cup bra style to give an enhanced cleavage.
The underwires of a half cup bra are much shorter making the half cup bra great for petite women who have issues with the underwires of their bra cups poking in to them.

Balconette Cup
A balconette bra is similar to a half cup bra with a little less coverage, although some brands use this name on other styles that do not have a true balconette cup. A true balconette cup is cut horizontally just above the bust line and gives your boobs the look of fullness and uplift. A balconette cup bra can enhance bust size and look great on girls with large chests.

Contour cup
T-Shirt bras generally have contour cups as they hold their shape even when not worn. The cups are underwired with a fibrefill or foam lining moulded into a specific shape. A Contour cup bra is a perfect choice for any woman seeking a smooth look, as they offer a round and symmetrical breast shape. A contour bra can also add definition (not size) to the breast, a smooth shape, and elimination of nipple contours.
Contour Bras are the perfect choice for women that are in-between bra sizes, or a woman with uneven breasts.
Full Cup
A full cup bra offers greater coverage of the breast as well as greater support than a half cup bra. It also has the advantage of not cause a crease or indentation along the top of the breast due to the shape of the cup.

Lined Cups
Lined cups give additional support and added opaqueness to the cup with a smooth look and great shape under close fitting clothing.

Minimiser Cup
A minimizer cup gives the appearance of reducing the size of your breasts and is great if you want to wear front-button shirts and blouses without the dreaded gapping effect.
A minimizer cup works by pushes the breast flesh more towards the underarm and the centre front, but it’s important to note that no cup can actually reduce your volume of breast tissue.

Padded Cup
A padded cup bra has fibre-fillet in the cups and adds size and definition to the bust giving a well-proportioned look and is perfect for women with a smaller bust

Push-Up Cup
Push-up cups are designed to enhance a woman’s bust by creating cleavage and the look of fuller breasts. Designed primarily for women with a C cup and smaller, push-up cups are shaped like a half cup with padding or a gell pocket at the bottom of the cups which causes your breast tissue to be pushed up and inward. The cups are angled inward so that the breast tissue is pushed towards the centre creating a fantastic cleavage.

Most push-up bras also have wide-set straps which further assist in directing the breast tissue towards the centre to create more cleavage.

Soft Cup
A Soft cup bra is a bra with no under wiring or padding and this lack of structure makes it most popular with women with an A or B cup but can be found in some maternity bras offering comfort.

With so many variations of cup design there’s sure to be a bra to give you the shape you want for what. Look at the clothes your going to wear and decide the shape and look to suit, you’ll feel fantastic and more importantly look fantastic as well.Visit our site at Intimate-Secrets.co.uk and indulge yourself with some great lingerie.

Bra scientists find formula for that perfect fit

Intimate-Secrets.co.uk — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 09:44:00 +0000

Curvy women could soon find a bra revolution making life slightly more comfortable.

For 70 years bra designers have stuck to a formula which decides sizes through measuring under and across the bust.

But now researchers in Hong Kong have come up with a different mathematical equation which they say will produce shapelier outlines and greater comfort for Chinese women. If successful, their bra-sizing system could be adopted across the globe.

They say there are more than 100 key measurements necessary to produce the perfect fit, and bra sizes should be based on a new depth/width ratio – or DWR.

Writing in the International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University team says that a “woman’s breast is a very complex 3D geometry” and the existing sizing system may be “inappropriate in the categorisation of breast sizes for bras”.

As a result, the report points out, as many as 70 per cent of women in Britain are wearing the wrong-sized bra.

Until now, bra sizes have followed a formula devised in America in 1935. “Alphabet” bras were born – advertised then as A cup (youthful); B cup (average); C cup (large); and D cup (heavy).

The Hong Kong team’s system follows 3D scanning of 456 Chinese women.

The researchers’ 100 measurements have been honed down to just eight factors to describe the breast shape – overall build, breast volume, inner, outer and lower breast shape, height, and gradient and orientation.

Currently, they say, the size and volume of a B cup on a small ribcage, for example, is different from that on a large chest. It could correspond not only to a 34B, but sometimes to a 32C or a 36A.

By using the DWR method, they aim to increase the number of existing bra sizes by between eight and 16 size combinations – offering more choice to women.

“This is the first time that a bra-sizing system protocol has been proposed based on 3D nude breast characteristics,” they say. “Besides the intimate apparel industry, the new breast sizing system may be applied in the medical field to identify the breast size for plastic surgery or other apparel product development.”
