9 Things You're Doing Wrong With Your Bra
We all have a love/hate relationship with our bras. If handled well and worn correctly, they can enhance your body and outfit, but if not, they can lead to suffocation and discomfort. This article will highlight common mistakes you can make when using a bra and easy ways to correct them for a pain-free bra experience!

Start hooking your new bra from the last hook and keep tightening it as it wears out. This will ensure that you get a perfect fit and that your bra lasts longer.
Not all bras will bring the perfect look and comfort to your particular outfit. Therefore, pick a bra based on the clothes you wear most often. For example, a versatile multi-directional bra can be ideal for low-backed outfits. Wireless molded bras are great for long daytime hours or long dances at weddings.
Seamless bras are great for thin, tight fabrics. Bras are the closest layer of clothing to your skin, so cleaning them every day is important. We often don't realize that they contain elasticity and need at least a day to breathe and regain their original shape. Overstretching the fibers can cause your bra to wear out quickly.
Tight bras are a big no-no for breast health - in addition to making you feel highly suffocated, they can restrict blood circulation and damage lymphatic tissue. Since it may not always be feasible to buy a new one at the time, here are two simple ways to fix the problem. You can simply use a paperclip as a space between the tight bra straps. Or buy a bra extender, which increases the bra width to make it comfortable and loose.
Most of us always wear a bra, even if it has puckering, and our skin gets a painful rash when it comes with sweat and moisture. The easiest way to keep this at bay is to gently shave off the excess thick fabric with a razor.
With all the attention usually focused on the fit of the bra straps, we often overlook the fit of the shoulder straps. If they are too tight, they can cause blisters and rashes; if they are too loose, they will keep falling off. Make sure your straps are loose enough for two fingers to slip through for the most comfortable fit.
Like all good things, your bra's lifespan will end after 8-9 months. Sticking with your old bra can do more harm than good to your posture, your circulation, and even the shape of your breasts. So, remember to say goodbye to your bras and replace them with new ones.
Your everyday bras may seem to provide a lot of support and comfort for your daily routine, but sports bras can only provide the bounce control and support you need during exercise because they have more stretch and absorb sweat. This keeps your skin and breasts in good health.
As a rule, your bra straps should always be parallel to the floor. If your bra is tilted toward your shoulders or too low, it may mean that it does not fit properly and may cause pain in your neck and shoulders.
