Have you been professionally measured and fitted?

Have you taken utmost care to ensure the bra you are wearing is meant for you, fit and comfort in mind, or do u just wear the closest size you think is yours. also, just wanted to share that always wearing underwired, though excellent for support causes cancer, so do be informed!

I noticed in another of your discussions that you have a baby at home. It is also bad to underwire bras if you are nursing because of possible damage to engorged milk ducts. Just FYI.... you probably alread know that.
I have actually gone and been fitted for the right size bra. I needed to do it when I got pregnant just because I had no clue how to handle the changes happening to my body. After pregnancy my sizes changed again, and then again after I stopped nursing. I do occassionally wear old bras.... like on laundry day, hee. Once you have been fitted and know what you really need, it is such a difference to wear a misfitted bra.

oh you are so sweet! thanks for your concern. No i am not wearing underwired now, simply because it was not available in a nursing bra here, guess it was good, cos I didnt know!!
Guess I will have to repeat the drill u did once I am done nursing! Dont keep any old bras..am concerned about not having support and losing tone!! but i agree that its darnnn uncomfortable to have a misfitted bra!
thanks again!

I have only been measured once. I was like fourteen. Now i just try different sizes on till i find the right one. Mainly because size and style is diffent and thin c cup would fit be well but a thick c cup wouldn't. And i thick d cup would fit me while a thin one wouldn't. So the style of the bra affects my sizing.
