Wearing the wrong bra size can lead to poor posture, skin irritation and breathing difficulties.

It can also damage breast ligaments, leading to breast pain and sagging. Breast size can change frequently over your lifetime due to weight changes, pregnancy or menopause so make sure you get measured regularly to ensure you are getting the support you need. 

Check your breasts

According to a survey by Breakthrough Breast Cancer, only 35 percent of women regularly check their breasts for signs of cancer. However, breast cancer, is a leading cause of death in women and early diagnosis can rapidly increase chances of survival. Women are advised to get to know their breasts by checking them each month and looking out for changes in size, shape and skin texture, as well as checking for discharge, rashes or lumps.

Did You Know?

If you want to give yourself an instant breast lift – without the surgery like Pamela Anderson – the best thing you can do is improve your posture. The chest muscles can lose flexibility when your shoulders are hunched, causing sagging over time. Pay attention to how you stand and sit throughout the day and consider taking up an exercise that will improve your posture such as yoga, Pilates or Tai Chi.
