Choosing the Right Bra > Full Bust

If you're over size 40, and generally speaking if you wear a C or D cup or larger, you're part of the very "in" circle of buxom women. And if you're in the double letters (DD), your assets need to be well supported.
There are some bras specially designed for women with full curves. Because of the increased weight of their breasts, they need maximum support and a deeper cup to provide a comfortable fit, namely full support.

A bra with a rounded back is ideal for the full-figured woman. The straps extend over the back band which is wide and provides good coverage. It stays in place well and is designed so as not to create rolls.

If you find your bust is too noticeable and predominant, and if you want to hide it or make it less visible without undergoing more radical solutions, the minimizing bra is a good solution.

Some tips
For women with larger busts, wider shoulder and back straps give firm support. Full cups contain the breast better and give a better appearance. Underwired bras provide better support under the bust. Smooth, plain bra styles, without too much lace, help to make your bust appear smaller.

Since larger breasts already have naturally padding, always choose an unpadded bra which gives curved support with or without an underwire for a natural, comfortable style.

Bra without underwire: Less stylish but comfortable, either smart or practical, this bra is suitable for every figure, even the most buxom, thanks to the width of the straps and the back band.

Minimizer: reserved for generous busts and C, D, E and F cups, this bra with straps and which fastens at the back encases the breasts snugly without compressing them in an invisible "second skin" mesh.

Signs that your bra is not right for you include:

• Red marks on your shoulders caused by your bra straps.
• Breasts forced over the top of the cup in a double bump.
• The center of your bra does not touch the breastbone.
• Your breasts are drooping or looking generally out of shape.
• Any or all of these signs could indicate that you are wearing the wrong bra size. that's not only uncomfortable, it can also over time, distort the shape of your breasts and cause a variety of health problems, from headaches to backaches and even migraines.

The Correct Size - Do you find that:

• Your bra rises up at the back, thus not supporting the weight of your bust.
• Your shoulders are being pulled forward.
• Your bust is not properly supported and falls forward, instead of being in its central position.
• As you move, your bust bounces up and down and the straps keep falling off unless you tighten them, in which case they dig into your flesh, causing red marks.

If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, you are probably wearing a bra with too large an underband and too small a cup, and you may well be experiencing both shoulder and neck pains.

In addition, because your breast is bigger than the cup, it pushes against the sides of the bra. for an underwired style, this can be harmful, as well as extremely uncomfortable. Remember, your bras should always fit accurately. cups should be just right; not too big, but deep enough to contain the whole of the breast.
