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.

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.

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
