Premature Sagging And 7 Other Ways In Which An Ill-fitted Bra Is Harming Your Body

We've been told time and again just how important it is to wear the right sized bra. We know instinctively that an ill-fitted bra does us no good. It's uncomfortable, and often pokes us in the wrong places. But despite this, about 70 - 80% women continue to wear the wrong size! When you don't pay attention to size, it's not just comfort that gets compromised. It's also your health.

Premature Sagging



Aren't bras supposed to hold up our breasts? With the wrong size, the ligaments in your breasts tend to stretch, and they are more likely to sag prematurely.

Sore breasts

It's not just your period that causes soreness. A tight bra literally crushes your breasts, and of course, leads to unnecessary tenderness.

Bad posture, back and neck pain

A bra that isn't the right size for you fails to give you enough support, and this can compromise your posture and lead to back and neck pain.

Breathing problems



Bad posture and a bra that pinches into your rib cage adversely effect your diaphragm, which causes constricted breathing. Haven't you ever wondered why it feels so great to take off that bra at the end of the day?

Skin irritations, pinched nerves and headaches

Blame tight straps for this. We're all familiar with rashes that our bras leave behind. Tight straps can also lead to pinched nerves and cause headaches and even shoulder aches.

Stomach Issues?

Believe it or not, your stomach health is directly linked to tight bras. A tight bra pokes into your rib cage and upper stomach, causing all sorts of tummy troubles.

Bulges everywhere!



The same logic that goes behind not wearing jeans that are too tight, should be applied to bra size. A tight bra causes bulging in the back, shoulders and even stomach, and looks quite unappealing.

Scarred breasts

Skin complications, specially under the breasts, are a common long-term effect of wearing the wrong size. Bras that are too tight can cause dryness and scarring.
