A Guide to Buying Your Perfect Bra Online

 Wearing the right bra not only helps you look better, and your clothes fit better, but it can have a positive physiological effect. A proper-fitting bra takes the weight of the breasts and distributes it across the chest, relieving some strain from the back, shoulders, and neck. On top of that, wearing an ill-fitting bra can lead to back problems and nerve damage if worn for long enough. In fact, an estimated 80% of women are wearing the wrong size bra!

While it's possible to get fitted at a department store or lingerie shop by a professional (and I'd recommend doing this at least once or twice in your life), it's also entirely possible to take your measurements yourself at home and use those measurements to shop online. All you need is a measuring tape and a mirror!

You'll want to wear your most supportive underwirebra when taking your measurements. You mustn't measure over your clothing—the tape measure should be skin-tight against the body.

Choosing the right bra is one of those things that seems like it should be simple. Still,many women struggle with it even if you don't wear a bra every day (and if you don't, then more power to you!), when you do wear one, it's usually because you want your clothes to fit well and look good, and if the bra doesn't fit right, then none of that is going to happen.

And in addition to looking better, wearing the right bra can actually have a positive physiological effect—you might find that back pain is reduced or eliminated when you're finally wearing a properly fitting bra. If you've struggled with finding good bras in the past, we hope this guide will help you hone in on what makes for the perfect fit.

Measuring for a bra is actually pretty easy: all you need is a tape measure (just like tailors use) and about 5 minutes. There are only three important measurements: band size (under bust), cup size (over bust), and torso length (from shoulder to under bust).

In terms of band size: While many people believe that band size is tied to cup size, the two are actually independent. Band size is determined by measuring around your ribcage just under your bust using an inch tape measure. A proper band size should be snug enough to not slide up or down throughout the day; however, if it feels too tight or painfully restrictive, try going up a size. In general, bands run from 30-40 inches across all bra sizes.
