Whatever your style, just make sure it fits right. Some easy things to watch out for - the top part of your chest should meet seemlessly with the part in your bra. In other words, you don't want the top part of your chest to appear flat and then you have these bulges where your bras starts.
If you've got the bulges it usually means that your cup size is too small. A quick and painless check is to latch the hooks of your bra, lean over and allow yourself to fall into the cups. If your boobs are pouring out and over, you need to move a cup size.
You also don't want bulges on your back. If your bra is too small around or you've got it done up too tight, you'll be able to see it through the back of your shirt and your skin will appear puckered or bulgy. Your straps should also be loose and not dig into your shoulders. Remember a new bra should fasten at the middle or last hook, cuz the material will stretch with wear.
Eventually, you'll wanna fasten it at the first hook. Try sizing down. Popping out? If your girls are slightly raised on the top or the sides, then try a bigger cup. Underwire digging in? The underwire should sit flat against your rib cage. If it's digging in, then try a bigger band size. Let's clear one thing up right now: breasts can come in lots of different sizes and all of those sizes are normal.
Whether you're a AA or a KK cup, your breasts are not weird or strange or unusual. There's an incredibly wide range of sizes available, far more than you're likely to see in a mall or lingerie boutique, and that's because there are lots of people out there wearing those sizes.
It's also totally normal to have a smaller frame with a larger bust or a larger frame with a smaller bust and any and every variation in between. There's endless variety to the human body, even if we rarely see it in the media. It's also completely normal if your breasts are two different sizes.
While some people have near-identical breasts, other people's breasts vary by a cup size or more, and neither is the least bit unusual though you always want to fit to the larger breast when you can. Our bodies — and therefore our breasts — are constantly changing.
A bra can make a girl feel less exposed when she's wearing a light shirt, such as a T-shirt. Some girls look forward to getting their first bras, but others dread it. Like anything new, wearing a bra can be tough to adjust to. They can be hard to fasten and adjust. When a bra is on, it can bag or gap, ride up, dig in, or pop open. The straps can slide off a girl's shoulders or dig into them.
And a bra can peek out of a girl's clothing. Not only that, but a girl's brother might think it's just hysterical to pull it so it snaps against her back. If you are a boy, do not do this! Wearing the right size bra can decrease the number of other problems a girl will have with her bra. For instance, a bra that's the right size won't pinch, gap, or slide around. So it makes sense to spend some time learning about bra sizes.
Bras come in many sizes, which are different combinations of the chest sizes and cup sizes — 32AA, for instance. It's important to get both the chest and cup sizes right to ensure a proper fit. Some bra makers now also offer cup options in half sizes to help girls get a better fit.
A girl might feel shy about her growing breasts and not want other people talking about them, looking at them, and measuring them. But it's wise for a girl to get measured so she knows her correct bra size. The women who work in the bra departments of stores can help a girl with this measurement. A girl also can do it at home if she has her mom or a friend help her. Here's how to do it:. A first bra used to be called a "training bra" — it was for girls who didn't yet fit into the cups of standard-size bras, but needed basic support and comfort.
These days, many girls' first bra is a sports bra, a type of bra worn by active women of any age. Sports bras prevent breasts from jiggling around when a woman is playing sports or exercising. Because they're flatter in the cup area, sports bras also make good first bras for many girls. In fact, because of sports bras, and dresses and tops that have built-in bras, a girl might not need a training bra or a more traditional bra early on.
Not all sports bras are alike, so a girl should try on a few to figure out which ones she prefers. Test to see if the bra band is too loose by lifting your arms in the air and putting them back down by your sides a couple of times. If the bra rides up across your breasts, the band is too loose. Also pay attention to the color of the bra — ones that are closest to your skin color will be the least noticeable under light colored clothing.
Some girls prefer the comfort of cotton, others like the support of synthetics or underwires. No one bra is better than another — it all depends on which style works best for you.
