Your Bra Could Be Giving You An Acid Reflux! Find Out Signs Of Tight Bra And How To Find Your Perfect Size

Bras are supposed to be comfortable and supportive and shouldn't cause us any harm. That's the whole point of wearing them under our attires. However if your bra is not doing these things for you and is rather causing you more harm, then that means it's time to say bye-bye to your old bras and replace them with new, more comfy and more supportive bras that fit you perfectly. If you don't get yourselves such bras, they can cause severe problems to you.

Harm Caused By Ill-Fitted Bra

Bras that don't fit properly can not only make your outfit look strange, but they can also harm your body and health. Take a look at how this is done:

• Excessive sweating and irritation can result from tight clothing rubbing against the skin.This can cause skin issues like folliculitis, heat rashes, etc.
• Tight clothing, such as spanx on the abdomen, can raise intra-abdominal pressure to the point that acid is pushed from the stomach into the lower esophagus, causing acid reflux.
• Tight bras might also have a negative impact on your posture. They could be depriving you of your energy, alertness, and enjoyment by putting undue strain on your already overworked shoulders.
• A cup size that is too small might alter the natural form of the breasts, resulting in unappealing consequences.
• While wearing a tight bra, chaffing can be caused when the movement and friction occurs between the skin and the fabric.
• Many ladies have excruciating neck and shoulder ache if the fit is too tight and the shoulder straps dig into their flesh. Stiffness, cervical pains, shoulder and backaches, as well as headaches, can all be caused by this strain on the neck!

Signs That Your Bra Is Tight?

• You constantly find yourself adjusting the straps of your bra as the bra shifts with your movement.
• After wearing them, your upper body feels achy and painful.
• If your shoulders hurt, or you have lines long after taking off your bra, it's a sign.
• Throughout the day, you keep adjusting your bra.
• If your boob stays mostly out of your bra, you need to replace your bra with a bigger size bra.

How To Fix A Tight Bra?

• If you're on the first or second set of hooks, the easiest fix is to climb up to the next set, which will give your boobs some more breathing room. Try a bra extender if you're on your final set of hooks and don't want to spend the money on a new bra just yet.
• If the straps or band of your bra are pressing into your skin, adjust the straps to be longer and move the band lower down your back.
• Wear different bras with different outfits. Not every shirt or pair of jeans in your wardrobe is exactly the same size so similarly, it's not necessary that your same bra fits you the same with all outfits. So get yourself a few additional bras in various sizes to go with various outfits.

How To Buy A Perfect Bra?

• Wear Your New Bra On The Loosest Hook: To see how your new bra fits, try it on with the loosest hook. Also, keep in mind that your bra will loosen as you get older. So keep this in mind when shopping for a new bra.
• Center Part Sits Flat: Make sure the centre part of your bra sits flat between your breasts. This eliminates the possibility of a boob peeking out situation.
• 2 Finger Rule: Make sure you can fit exactly two fingers under your bra's band. If your fingers are unable to fit, your bra is too tight, but if your fingers are too comfy and can fit more, your bra is too loose. You don't want a loose or tight bra, so look for a size that fits only 2 fingers under the bra belt.
• Lift Your Arms: Your bra should not move at all when you lift your arms. If that's the case, your cup isn't big enough
