We all have a favorite bra that we simply can’t part with, but all good things usually come to an end, including our attachment to our bras. We all have that one bra that we can’t seem to let go of, no matter how worn down or non-existent its elasticity is. But holding on to it won’t do you any favours, especially if the look you are going for doesn’t involve random holes. So if you need a push in the right direction, these signs that you should break up with your bra will show you why you need to drop it like a bad habit.
When it’s not giving you the support you need
It doesn’t matter what your situation in the chest department is. If you notice that your bra is failing big time when it comes to both accentuating and supporting, it has to go. Sometimes, we tend to forget that choosing one that hugs all of our angles without being uncomfortable can change our entire mood one strap at a time. Ill-fitting lingerie affects you for more than just cosmetic reasons. Overly tight straps not only causes skin irritations but reduces blood flow, affecting the nerves and contributes to tension headaches. Getting yourself measured correctly is important not only for your self-esteem, but for your overall health as well.
When you are turning to other bras for extra support behind its back
Having a smaller chest doesn’t make you any less susceptible to wearing the wrong type of bra. So if your chest isn’t getting the right support, that is more than enough reason to kick a bra to the curb.
When staying with it is too painful
Underwire pain is no joke. There is no worse feeling than having to grin and bear it as your band starts cutting into your skin and your underwire introduces itself to your ribs. Your comfort should always come first above else.
When it is stretched out which in turn leaves you stressed out
When the going gets tough, your bra should not leave you hanging, literarily. The biggest misconception we have is that our straps carry all of our weight. Sorry, this couldn’t be further from the truth. The reality is that the band is possibly the most important part of the sew. It is the backbone, the foundation for how well your bar will support your chest.
When it doesn’t care about making you feel good
Why wear what you know doesn’t do anything for you physically and emotionally? Your body confidence is a crucial part of who you are, so why wear something that only ends up giving you bulges you didn’t even know existed?
When it rubs you the wrong way
There is absolutely nothing sexy about chafing, period. While you may be tempted to jump up a size to bypass the underwire, going too big isn’t any better.
