Are You Wearing The Right Size Bra?

During your lifetime, your bra size will change a number of times. Factors like weight loss and gain, medication, contraceptive pills, pregnancy and menopause all affect breast size, so it's important to make sure you're wearing the right size for your current shape.

Remember to pop in to your nearest Woolies for a free fitting; it could save you from years of discomfort.

When you're buying a new bra, check the following:

  1. A Comfy Fit

    The underband should sit horizontally around the body. You should be able to fit two fingers under the band comfortably.

  2. Mind The Gap

    The centre front of the bra should sit flat against the chest.

  3. No Spillage

    Your bust should be contained fully within the cup of the bra.

  4. Does It Dig Into You?

    The seams and wires of the bra shouldn't dig into or rest on any breast tissue (for example, at the front or under the arm).

  5. Tight, But Not Too Tight

    Your bra straps should be secure but not tight. If you remove the bra straps, the bra should continue to support your breasts.
