Is It Time To Buy A New Bra?


Bras are expensive, so sometimes, buying new ones can not only be healthy for your breast, great for your style, but also a financial commitment.

Here are some reason you may need to buy a new bra.

The first is an upcoming special occasion. Sometimes an all white summer party or a wedding leaves us running to the store looking for a bra that will fit correctly. If you find yourself unable to wear clothing because of a bra; it’s time to buy a new one. Everyone woman should own at least one convertible bra that's able to fit under more than one type of clothing.

The second reason you may need a new bra is pregnancy. Pregnant women can grow up to 3 cup sizes in a few trimesters. Unfortunately, support is the main factor if you are pregnant...however underwires can be uncomfortable. Understanding what's comfortable for you will help you decide which new bra you may need

The third reason you may need a new bra is fit. If the bra you are wearing right now doesn’t fit you correctly and you are constantly adjusting it, go and get fitted properly, or do it yourself. It's worth it in the long run and when you bra is off your mind you'll be surprised at how free you feel.

The fourth reason you many need a new bra is shape. If you go into the store and try on a bra that is the same size and style as your bra, but fits and supports you better, it's time to buy a new one. Your old bra is worn out and is not as supportive or elastic as it used to be.

Lastly, you may need a new bra for a new look. Posture feeling slouchy? Tops not buttoning correctly? You didn't gain weight! Your bra may just be the wrong one. A new bra can actually increase your posture and give you a new look in no time.

If you need a new bra, try MySkins. MySkins sells seamless bras and pantis in 20 skin matching colors.

Which Came First, The T-Shirt or The Bra?

One problem that women around the world have is finding the ideal bra to wear under a t-shirt. The number of ways a t-shirt can go wrong with the wrong bra are endless. Here are a few that we have all grown to hate:

The Problem: The Frankenstein Look.

Frankenstein was built from different body parts, so he was basically stitched together and you could clearly see his seams. When you put on a t-shirt with a bra that has seams, you look stitched together also.

The Solution: MySkins Seamless T-shirt Bra.Our seamless t-shirt bra has no seams for a flawless finish.


The Problem: The Visible Bra Strap Look.
Some t-shirts have v-necks, plunge tops, and twist and turns. No matter how you try to arrange your straps around, even with a bra hook, you still seam to have visible bra straps.

The Solution: MySkins Convertible Bra.The MySkins convertible can be adjusted in 3 different ways to fit under different types of blouses for increase versatility.

The Problem: The Bump In The Night Look.
Remember that children's book about an owl who was afraid of the bumps in his bed that turned out to be his knees? Well, when you wear a bra that is too small under a t-shirt, you create bumpy breasts, which is a very bad look! Not only can it confuse just about everyone around you, but its also just uncomfortable.

Top 5 Mistakes Women Make When Buying A Bra



Women have been wearing bras for years, but for some reason the majority of the population still have issues with the dreaded bra fitting! From bra experts worldwide, here are the top 10 mistakes that women make when shopping for a bra:


5 The Baggy Look
The baggy look has made a comeback recently in jeans and in clothing (like Mary Kate and Ashley's boho looks). However, this isn't a good look for your bra. When a bra brand is too loose in the back, the back of the bra rises causing your breast to sag.

4 The Size Chameleon
Many women refuse to let go of their bra size. At 18 when you hear that you are a 38C, you always buy a 38c without getting resized. Our bodies change everyday due to hormones, nursing and much more so getting fitted once a year is ideal.

3 The Elusive Perfect Bra
We've heard of this elusive perfect bra, the one that fits like a glove and shapes your breast like a Greek statue. However, finding your perfect fit or brand can take time. At MySkins, we have our own sizing method that can help you find your perfect fit based on our brand research and awareness.


2 Comfort versus Support
We are very proud of our bras because we cover both comfort and support. However, sometimes support comes over comfort because we want to look great in our clothes and we've been taught that beauty is painful. With MySkins' seamless molded bras, that's no longer an issue.

1 The Small Complex
Smaller breast women want to have larger breast, and larger breasted women want to have smaller breast. However, using your bra to achieve those goals can cause the bra tissue to lose firmness. Your bra should life and center you bust line while being comfortable and definitely not hazardous to your health.


When looking for your perfect fit, use our bra fitting guidelines and get it right!

A Bad Fitting Bra vs A Good Fitting Bra


We've all seen it. Someone wearing a fitted t-shirt with a bra on that they thought fit well. In actuality, the bra created the "six boobs" affect where the breast are squeezed between the arm and the strap and the breast themselves are basically cut in 1/2… creating six boobs! Wearing a good fitting bra can really have a tremendous affect on your life including your self esteem. A good fitting bra can increase your posture and make you look fabulous in your clothes.
So what is the benefit of getting rid of that bra that you just can't let go and a bra that actually fits you body well? Did you know a bad fitting bra can:
  • Add a shapeless and unattractive look to your posture
  • Cause scarring underneath and on the sides of your breast over time
  • Cause back pain and neck pain from inadequate support
  • Attribute to posture problems and constant slouching
On the other hand, a good fitting bra can:
  • Change the silhouette and curves of a woman’s body
  • Make you look slimmer while reshaping
  • Allow your clothes to fit and look better on your body
  • Give you a smaller waistline
  • Give you a boost of confidence


The benefits are endless. Check out MySkins.com and try a seamless bra in a skin matching color so you can look and feel great this summer!
