When bras were first created (Once again, God bless you Caresse!) to help women avoid problems, such as Backache and saggyness... well, that was exactly what they did! Over the years, designers and manufactures worldwide (my guess is the majority of them are men!) have added to the value of bras by offering women more variety, to fit their own UNIQUE needs!.... To name a few :
Training bra: This type of bra is designed for preteen or teenage girls who are in the early stages of breast development. It is smaller than standard bra sizes, and its cups come without underwire support. This helps young girls to become used to the idea of wearing a bra.
Full cup bra: This bra provides full support, as it comes with underwired cups and covers most of the breasts. It is recommended for all women, and especially for those with heavier breasts.(That would be me!)
Demi cup bra: A demi cup bra covers only half the breasts, with its cups coming up above the nipples. This bra is suitable to wear with clothes that have plunging necklines. It is supportive, yet provides maximum exposure of the breasts.
Padded bra: This bra comes with padding inside the cup linings, adding volume to smaller breasts. Padded bras are popular girls who may stuff their training bras with tissues to make their breasts look fuller.
Underwired bra: Bras can come with or without underwire in their cups. An underwired bra provides strong support to the breasts and also maintains the shape of the bra. Some women claim that underwired bras lift their breasts, while others find these bras uncomfortable or painful.
Strapless bra: These types of bras come with no straps or straps that can be removed, so you can give your poor shoulders a break. This style is useful for clothes, such as tube dresses and halter tops.
Could you identify your bra?? If not, believe me, there's so many more! To see the rest of the list, check out : www.wisegeek.com, and try a diiferent style.

Always show your bOObs some TLC!
On top of making sure that you are wearing the correct bra size, you should also make sure that you are looking after your breasts in themselves.
Breakthrough, a site for breast cancer advises women to make sure they show the twins some TLC, which stands for:
T - Touch
L - Look
C- Check
This should be done regularly, by yourself, or anyone you trust, and if you do, it's important to get it checked as soon as possible, to rule anything out....

Do you really know your bra size..? I bet you don't...!
Studies have shown that up to 80% of women are in the wrong bra size!So that's 4 out of 5 of you that don't know your size! Tut Tut! It seems us women are always in a battle, wearing bras that are too uncomfortable, not very flattering (no sex appeal) and bras that offer no support whatsoever! But the question is 'why?'
It's because, majority of women are comfortable! Women out there are relaxed about the bra size they've known for only god knows how many years!And some women, just don't like change.
But this is not the right way. Women must have their bra fittings at least every 6months, that's just TWICE a year, and trust me, it's not scary!So Please, Please, go out and get a fitting.....you'd be surprised by the outcome!

One size fits all....?

If there's one thing we women share, it's the lack of ability to find the right bra! If it's not the style, it's most definately the size! and sometimes, it's both! And in my experience, this is a regular occurance for big breasted ladies.
It's SO easy to see a beautiful bra, but have that niggling thought that '...they probably don't do it in my size', and then be proven RIGHT! Honestly, it's a pain in the boobs! One thing I've come to understand, is that material matters...ALOT! What can be done for people size 32AAA to 38D, 9 out of ten times, unfortunatlely cannot be done for those 38G and upwards. Which, I suppose is okay, and other times, you just gotta grind your teeth and go to the 'specialist shops'! Hmph!
No, but now,ALAS, thankfully,high street shops with lingerie depatrments have now began catering to the likes of the FF cups women out there. If you pop into Marks and Spencer, La Senza and Debenhams, you'll find equally beautiful bras ,not necesarily the same designs, not one size fitting all, but better believe, it's one price fits all!!....Just don't be expecting this from Topshop!(a girl can dream...)

The History of Bras!
It wasn't Marks & Spencer, neither was it Victoria's Secret. Back in 1913, a woman named Caresse Crosby came up with the precursor of the two cup bra, glad it wasn't a three cup, eh? She sold the patent for her concept- two handkerchiefs sewn together with attached ribbon straps, and it was in that same year, the beginning of the 11.3 billion lingerie business was born! Can't imagine what kind of
hold that would have for me Caresse!!
since then, Bras have definitely evolved (Thank God!). Did you know, Bras are manufactured by men!?, no neither did I.
