Have you ever worn something really uncomfortable and it has put a true downer on your day? If you find the perfect bra that fits well then be sure to buy a few. Once you have found the perfect bra it is difficult to replace it!
As a lady who suffers a lot with confidence, I find going bra shopping, particularly being measured and trying on underwear quite stressful. I used to be a bit reluctant to buy online but now I look back I really don’t know why!
Buying the perfect bra online
The choice is good and it is straight forward to see what sizes each bra comes in, no rooting around the racks and them all falling off their hangers! There is nofear of going to the till with the cashier who always comments on everything you have or standing next to your child loudly telling everyone about your purchases.
Size does matter
How frustrating is it when you go onto a website and see a beautiful bra and then click to the size options and yours isn’t there, it doesn’t go big enough! I have suffered from this a few times, at my largest I was wearing bras far bigger than most shops sell yet when I lost weight I was fitting into a 32DD which is often not available either! Since I have currently gained a bit of weight so I am above target it is less of an issue!
The wrong size bra is uncomfortable, and not only that can cause long term problems so the fact that so many websites now I can click on my bra size and see everything available is perfect. This reduces the risk of temptation to squeeze into another bra because I spot it and like it!
Sexy and practical
For your own sanity but also for your comfort be sure to choose a variety of bras include those that are comfortable and those which are sexy. I love bra shopping online as sales don’t tempt me to buy something I will never wear.
That difficult outfit or problem bra?
We all have one of those dresses don’t we, it fit well in the shop but when we get home it just doesn’t work with any bra we own! It feels like we need superglue or some kind of miracle but actually, a bit of tape designed for this would be perfect or nipple covers. These things are lifesavers and I love that so many items such as tape, nipple covers, bra extenders, whatever it is you need they seem to sell easily online!
The downfalls of ordering underwear online
The main downside, in my opinion, to ordering underwear online is the fact I have to be organised, as generally with online stores the earliest I can get an item is the next day so rather than leave it until the last minute to choose an outfit for a special night out or event I need to be a little organised!
I have never been fitted for a bra! I have always just guessed!
A well fitted bra means a lot I have had may either digging in and end up sore or making me feel uncomfortable or moving when I lift myn arms
Mmm last time I was fitted was around three years ago. I actually dont wear them that often as I have chronic back pain
The last time I got fitted for a bra was when I was pregnant with my twins 3 years ago so I am definitely overdue one.
It’s all fantastic
I’ve never been fitted for a bra, I know how they’re supposed to fit, and go from there
i wouldnt look that good in one being male
About 20 years ago ! Bet im wearing the totally wrong size
I have only had a bra fitting for my wedding
I am beginning to need one, but hopefully I can lose a little weight instead
I last got fitted at M&S a couple of years ago but could probably do with checking it!
It’s been to long, I really need to know though, but no where is doing this right now. I have thought of trying to work it out myself but I do not think I would trust my own measurement readings!
I haven’t actually, I always think I need to but never have the time.
I think i was a teenager!! I’m 37 now but it is something i have thought about and recently too.
It must have been at least 10 years ago. Now I just measure myself and try to find a size I think feels right but it is really difficult!!
Im ashamed to say but it was years ago and I have put on weight lately so im purely guessing. Its v tricky now to buy without trying on also.
two years ago!
years and years ago, I have no idea of my size which is very naughty!
Too long ago!
Good article.
I’ve never been fitted for a bra.
It was some years ago 🙂
It was before last year’s first lockdown and to be honest, I could do with having it done again soon, especially with the weight I’ve gained over the year!
Yes, a long time ago when I was pregnant with our Son
Never actually had a proper bra fitting. Always done it myself at home.
I always get fitted, there is nothing worse than an ill fitting bra, I never buy this item online
When I was a teenager!
This is a massive struggle for me now as I’m pregnant and my size is changing all the time. I’m also worried about the changes after she’s here what with breastfeeding etc.
I personally don’t wear bras 😜 but my partner was measured last summer as soon as lockdown is over she needs to go for another
Not since the last time I was pregnant… so 16-17 years ago.
This is amazing. Unfortunately I still have not found right size of my bra. For me my weight keeps changing so bra size keeps changing too.
After my youngest child was born, 9 years ago x
About a year ago, I am a trained bra fitter so know the importance of being fitted as most women are wearing the wrong size.
Last fitted for a bra about two years ago! I do need to be refitted as Brody has changed shape.
I’ve never been fitted for a bra. I’ve always found that knowing how they should fit and then trying different ones works well for me.
This really is on my to do list when lockdown is lifted! last time I got measured I was a 34b 25 years ago!!
The last time I got fitted was a couple of years ago – was going to go last year but then covid!
honest answer is i’ve never had a bra fitting
Just before lockdown and the lady was great, sadly during covid they have gone out of business : (
A very long time ago and I know my boobs have got bigger I just tend to go with what feels right
I have not been fitted for a bra for years but often feel uncomfortable in mine so perhaps it is time!
I was fitted before my baby I was shamed wearing a a instead of a dd probs should get checked again.
