10 requirements that your bra not to damage your back

A garment sometimes controversial for being for many a symbol of the oppression of women.However, leaving aside the social component, at the medical level it has also caused discussions about whether or not it is good for women's health.
Most women do not know their size
Although it seems incredible, about 70% of women do not use the right bra and nine out of ten ignoring their bra of Teresa Gómez, gynecologist at the Teknon-Group Medical Center..
“It is unusual for a woman to know and carry her exact size, therefore most do not succeed when choosing an adequate model for them.In addition, not all brands and models are based on the same design and if the person who attends you, does not specialize in corserry, the probability of making mistakes is very high, ”says the gynecologist.
The size and quality of the bra are important, just as “a model that adapts to each type of chest must be achieved, since inappropriate use could affect the health of the back and its correct position,” he says.

1.You should not tighten or leave brands: it must be comfortable and comfortable.
2.Review our measures from time to time: the body is changing and more with age, therefore it is important that every so often let's use our subway and measure our contour.For much love we have a bra, we cannot get the same for years.
3.The width of the strap and the shape of the hoop must be not only aesthetic but functional: we may occasionally want to buy a bra that is not the typical basic for day to day, but that is not at odds with which it adaptsproperly to our body.
4.The contour is not the same as the cup.The contour is related to the width of the back, is measured in centimeters and usually goes from an 85 to 110.The cup refers to the volume of the breast itself or the contour of the chest and covers the letter A to the e.
5.The hoop should not crush or be taken off from the body.Although now there are models that do not carry.
6.Never buy a bra When you have menstruation since the size can vary.Something that also happens when it is pregnant because breasts increase in size, volume, weight and also avoid hoops.
7.It is preferable to use tissues such as cotton.Some materials such as lycra prevent the body from perspiring proper.
8.It is not advisable to use it to sleep.It is better that during the rest hours we take it off.
9.For very bulky breasts it is recommended to carry a bra.Not only to avoid possible back injuries, but also because they would prevent Cooper's ligaments and that they are distributed.
10.Use special holders to do sports.Thus we will avoid the abrupt oscillation of the chest when running or doing other types of activities.
Once you clears some doubts, now it only remains that each one decides to take it or not, since despite what you can think, this study and others have not found a direct relationship between carrying a bra and breast cancer.Of course, you must find your appropriate size and model.
