You have heard me talk often in many different ways about the do’s and don’ts about wearing a bra and how to get the most from your lingerie collection. Today I will cover them again in hopes of driving home how important it is for larger ladies to wear a proper fitting bra.
Ladies do you treat your bras like guys do their favorite pair of jeans? If you do you are doing yourself a disservice, because an improper fitting bra leads to back problems, your clothes not looking good on you, and in some reported cases and increased risk for breast cancer.
How do you prevent “Blown Out Bra Syndrome” from infecting your full figured bra collection?
It is actually pretty simple, yet it is something that millions of lingerie devotees overlook daily.
- Know your REAL bra size and only buy bras that fit properly
- Get rid of any bra you KNOW you are not going to wear
- Replace any bra that shows signs of wear
- Every 6 months, at a minimum, out with the old in with the new
- Never wear a single bra more than 3 days in a row
- Keep a rotation of 10-14 daily bras and 2-3 specialty bras
- Hand washing is the preferred method for proper care
- Use a laundry bag and fasten all hooks if machine washing is used
- Do not fold the cups into each other
- Hang your bra to dry. Dryers shorten the life of a bra
