The bra has caused a lot of controversy regarding its usefulness since its inception. Today, according to statistics, it is worn by more than 80% of women. However, many of them do it for aesthetic reasons, without considering whether it is useful. There is also a topic of discussion: a sleep bra. It is especially relevant among pregnant women, lactating women and those with breasts larger than the second size.
Is a bra good at all?
The fact that a bra helps to maintain the firmness of a woman's breasts and prevent them from sagging is absolutely not justified. After all, most women wear a bra every day, and over time, one way or another, the skin loses its elasticity. Breast skin is no exception, so the mammary glands lose their shape. However, such an element of women's wardrobe as a bra has become so firmly established in our lives that some women even sleep in it. They are convinced that it will help to maintain a beautiful breast shape for longer.
There is some truth in this, but to a greater extent, the shape of the breast depends on the size, hereditary factor and skin elasticity. The sleep bra, which is now in high demand among women, is likely to provide more comfortable sleep.
Who benefits most from sleeping in a bra?
Often, women who are dissatisfied with their bodies are looking for all sorts of ways to improve its shape and general condition. Is it correct? No. This also applies to wearing a sleep bra. It is recommended only for those women who are overweight. Due to the large amount of adipose tissue, the skin of the mammary glands stretches very actively during sleep, and stretch marks appear.
As you know, the elasticity of the skin, including breast skin, depends on body weight, on whether a woman is breastfeeding, on whether she is pregnant. The presence of collagen in the body also affects elasticity. However, for most of us, this is not the answer, and we are diligently trying out all sorts of methods that could improve our lives by making our bodies more attractive.
Is it comfortable to wear a bra all the time?
If the size of the breast is small, then, most likely, during sleep, discomfort is not felt. But women who have a cup size D and above are suffering from the fact that the breasts sag at night and do not allow them to fully rest. In such cases, it is necessary to choose the most comfortable bra made from natural fabrics. A sleep bra doesn't have to be the same as the onewhat you wear during the day.
It won't give you a comfortable night's sleep. Experts generally do not recommend wearing a day bra for more than 6-7 hours a day. And at night, even more so.
If your sleep bra isn't trustworthy and you're just afraid to put it on, you can use an alternative. A T-shirt with a special insert for the chest, which looks like a bra, may well be a replacement for him.
How to choose the right bra?
When choosing a bra, a woman often pays attention to its attractiveness. This is the main mistake. After all, the most beautiful underwear can be made from synthetics and not by standards. It, as a rule, can cause allergic reactions on the skin and diseases of the mammary glands. Therefore, when choosing this element of women's wardrobe, the following points should be considered.
- The quality of the material. The bra covers the tender and sensitive area of the female body - the chest. Therefore, it should only be made of quality material.
- The right size. If the cup is a little big or small, it will not provide the desired effect. This also applies to the anti-wrinkle sleep bra. It should be as suitable as possible for the size of the chest. Bones (if any) should not put pressure on the lymph nodes. Otherwise, lymph flow to the mammary glands may be disrupted.
- Slings, shoulder straps. They must be widebreasts are large, and more narrow if the breast size is small.
Cotton is best.
Conclusion: the straps should be such that they can keep the chest in the most taut state.
Following these recommendations, you need to choose not only underwear for sleep or everyday wear, but also a sleep bra for pregnant women.
What is the risk of wearing the wrong bra?
According to statistics, 80% of women wear a bra, and almost all 80% wear the wrong size, shape or synthetic. So, what is fraught with wearing the "wrong underwear"? What are the he alth implications of wearing the wrong nighttime sleep bra?
If your underwear is the wrong size, wearing it over time will affect your posture and possibly the shape of your breasts. Also, from an aesthetic point of view, an inappropriate bra will not give the right fit to the body. Also, when wearing tight underwear, stretch marks may appear, which occur under the influence of a bra that is smaller by the floor or by a whole size.
Overweight women often make the mistake of choosing lingerie a size smaller on purpose so that their breasts look more toned and beautiful. However, such underwear is unable to maintain large breasts in a beautiful shape. On the contrary, it will become more saggy and unattractive.
How to determine the right underwear?
To understand how right or wrong you made a choice when buying underwear, you need to consider the following.
- The center of the bra between the breasts. It should be tightly pressed to the body, and not "walk" in the air.
- The underwear belt should fit snugly around the body. If you try to stick a couple of fingers under it, it will be hard to do it
- Straps should be tight, but not cut into the body. This interferes with the normal inflow and outflow of blood.
- It is necessary to fasten underwear on the last strap.
You also need to consider the cost of the purchase and do not buy underwear at the lowest prices. Very often these are cheap fakes that will not affect he alth in the best way.
