How to put on a bra well: "The essential thing is that the nipple is in the center of the garment"
"Most women don't put on their bras right and they don't know it." This is how clear the statement of Pilar Vallespín, an expert in lingerie, is, who assures that choosing a garment that adapts well to our body is essential even for health".
The truth is that knowing how to differentiate between the cup (the letter that appears on the label), the contour (the size number) and even if the ideal strap should be thinner or wider is an arduous and complicated task. That is why it is "essential" to go to a specialized store.
"There are sizes ranging from 75 to 135 in contour, and on the cups there are letters from almost the entire alphabet. A woman's chest is totally different from another's, so you have to take the measurements correctly. The contour is taken above the nipples, without pressing, and to know the cup you have to measure the entire contour right from the highest part of the chest to the back," explains Pilar Vallespín, manager of Emi Lingerie from Zaragoza. "Many issues must be taken into account, which is why it is a mistake to choose a bra simply because you see it on a hanger and that you like it because of its appearance. In addition, each manufacturer carves in a different way," says Vallespín.
Another issue to take into account: "Trying it on is as essential as checking that the nipple is in the center of the piece. If so, it will be perfect", argues Vallespín. As for the strap, you have to know that if the size is small it can be fine, but a large cup "must have a wide one, restrained and that distributes the chest well," says the merchant.
Beyond tastes and colors, the wrong choice of this garment can lead to health problems. "A woman with a lot of chest with a bra that does not adapt to her body in the right way can lead to constipation. The added weight that we have in the front has to be balanced. If it is not achieved and she tends to lean forward, we leave to the intestine less space than it needs for its proper functioning", Vallespín points out.
Whether or not they are the most beautiful, the best choice, according to the experts, is that pair of bras with which to spend the day comfortably, without thinking about getting home to return them to the lingerie drawer, that blessed moment of release at the end of the day.
