The Risks of Wearing the Wrong Bra Size

No woman should wear the incorrect bra size, but research has shown that the bigger your bust, the more damage you’ll do to yourself. The wrong bra can begin to cause minor, but noticeable changes such as rashes and tingling sensations in the arms. If you then fail to do anything about your incorrect bra size your health could be at a much greater risk, with added risks such as breast pain, headaches and back pain.

After such effects (and still failing to seek advice on your correct bra size) you can even develop long-term damage to your skin (abrasions) and more importantly, problems with your breathing. Yes, the wrong bra size causes more than just minor irritation until your next purchase. It can have serious and lasting side-effects.

The bigger your bust, the more prone you are to health risks if you wear the wrong size bra

How do I Know if I’m Wearing the Wrong Bra Size?

Just like the side-effect, there are a number of noticeable signs that point to a wrong bra size. Your actual breasts, bra cups and bra straps will all show individual signs that you’re in the wrong bra size.

Breast Signs

The easiest of all signs. If you’re in the wrong bra you’re boobs will either be spilling out of your cups, or have an unattractive gap between the breasts and cup. A bust-emphasising smaller bra, may be fine for a quick session of passion (we all know if drives men wild) but it will do you no favours whatsoever if you actually WEAR your bra like that.

You may like to do this to ocasinally treat your man, but wearing your bra like this normally, can lead to health risks

Bra Cup Signs

This and the unattractive gap between breast and cup sign, would be the easiest sign for your partner to spot. If you don’t wear padded bras then you really should start taking notice of that mirror! Non padded bra cups will wrinkle-up and crease if you’re in the wrong size. You’ll pretty much look like you’re wearing a cotton bag around your breasts, rather than a bra.

Wearing the wrong size padded bra will generate small wrinkles or folds. This means that the cups have been strained and pushed-out so much, the padding is starting to fold-in on itself.

Bra Underwire Signs

Your bras underwiring should fit smoothly and flat to your rib-cage. If it doesn’t and you’re seeing gaps or folds, you’re in the wrong bra size.

Bra Band Signs

A very common issue with wrong bras size wearers. If you’re wearing the wrong bra size your bras band will start to creep up at the back, allowing your boobs to sag. Your bra band should be flat and level all the way around.

Always make sure your bra band is flat and level

Bra Strap Signs

If you’re in the wrong bra size your bra straps will dig in to your skin. This should really be one of the most obvious signs (as it’s very uncomfortable) so if you’re experiencing this, it’s time for a measurement asap.

If you’re experiencing any of the issues above than take this advice…GO-AND-GET-MEASURED! It’s incredibly simple and all you need is a little spare time. Many lingerie stores offer this service for FREE so what are you waiting for!

We get asked many questions on bra fitting but if you need to be measured accurately and professionally, we would recommend your local Le Senza store. We’ve found their staff to be well trained and they take the time necessary to make sure you know your perfect fit. Also remember that a few pounds lost or gained can still mean an alteration to your bra size, so never be afraid to keep going back for measurement checks. It’s FREE!

Ines Cudna has been the busty blonde face of kris Line, for quite a few years

Those of you interested to know that Kris Line models name, would be delighted to find out that she’s called Ines Cudna. Ines is a very beautiful model and we can see why she was chosen to be the face of Kris Line lingerie. However, when the subject of Kris Line is raised with customers, you’ll always hear that Krisline are far too dependant on the “Busty Blonde” image (we would like to point out that Ines Cudna, is in fact a natural brunette) .

Here we also have Ines Cudna, in a bikini shoot. You can see just why she was chosen to model for Krisline, due to her great figure that carries a natural bust. So many models opt for breast enlargement these days, so it’s refreshing to see a model with a natural look.
