Ok ladies, today I’m going to show you how to properly size your bra. I debated about whether to make this as short as possible or to do a more detailed post, and from what I’ve learned I really don’t think I could do a proper job with just a few tips and a 2 minute video or something, so we’re going to go into a bit more detail here to make absolutely certain that you know how to do things right–we are talking about your boobs, after all. Keep in mind that many factors affect your bra size, such as age, pregnancy, weight loss and gain, and birth control pills (they alter your
| hormones, so yes they can change the size of your boobs). If you’re a teenage girl, you should know that you may have to change your bra size several times before you’re done developing, and every woman should check her bra size once every few years regardless of circumstances, especially if wearing a bra in any |
way becomes uncomfortable–keep in mind the fact that the average woman wears 6 different bra sizes throughout her life. Let’s get started.
