Choosing the right underwear is a big deal. Alas, according to the observations of British experts, four out of five women are not very serious about choosing a bra. And in vain. Since an improperly selected sconce can provoke a whole bunch of health problems, ranging from back pain to heartburn.

As chiropractors say, in most cases, when choosing a bra, women do not quite correctly assess the width of the back and overestimate the volume of the bust. And it turns out that the belt is too tight around the chest, and the bones from the cups press on the stomach and esophagus.

For young and slender women with small breasts, soft bras are recommended, the cups of which are often formed with a single dart. Middle-aged women with breast sizes 1 and 2 - with set-in cups, consisting of 2-3 parts, with various pads to maintain their shape. Overweight women are advised to wear bras of a special design - without a connecting strip between the cups

This creates one point on the back between the shoulder blades, where the entire load falls. There is not enough support in the front, so some women are forced to lift their heads. As a result, women often come to see doctors with traces of shoulder straps and bra bones, complaining of back pain and other troubles.

Experts strongly recommend that women regularly check their bra size, as they often wear underwear with too small a cup volume and too large a bust. As a result, all the weight is transferred to the shoulders. Plus, breast size can change over time. Yes, and you should never buy underwear "by eye". Before buying, it's worth trying on a bra to see if you're feeling uncomfortable.
