BRA MYTHS

You can only wear a white bra under a white shirt. A smaller cup size will give you better cleavage. All C cups are created equal. Sound familiar? They should, they’re the same bra myths we’ve been hearing since adolescence.

Well, leave it to Rebecca to do the exposing!!
Here are the top five bra MYTHS we’ve all wondered about:

Myth#1: To be supported, you should wear a cup too small.

False again! To be supported you should wear the appropriate size, not one that makes it hard to breathe. Support comes mainly from the correct band size.

Myth#2: The letter determines the size of the cup.

It may be hard to believe, but it’s false! The letter and the number TOGETHER determine the size of the cup. As the number goes down, the cup size goes up.

Myth#3: Once you know your size, every bra in this size should fit.

False! It may fit, but it doesn’t mean it’s doing the job. There are many different shapes of breasts and styles of bras. It’s important to find out what size you are in each style and brand before buying. Want to find out the best bra for your cup size?

Myth#4: If it’s uncomfortable in the back, you need a bigger size.

False!! For some reason this happens a lot. Most women think they need a bigger size when their band is riding up, when usually it’s the exact opposite. If the bra is higher in the back than front, the band is too big!

Myth#5: To get good cleavage you should wear a bra that’s too small.

False! It’s completely possible to get good cleavage in a bra that’s your size, fits properly, and ready for this ladies— one that’s comfortable!
