A bra-ticle by Petra

In her debut on the Good Life this Breast Cancer Awareness month, Petra talks about how the correct bra size can make all the difference.

Not red, not white...IT'S PINK! (Gents, don't feel left out...please read further. It's in your interest too.)

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. For a fashionable twist, we're talking bras for boobs! Let's not get precious about the word. This month it is important for raising awareness for Breast Cancer and the fight against this horrible disease.

Most women are aware that it is really important to be wearing the correct bra size. This, however, does not mean everyone takes heed. Estimates are that about 80% of women wear the wrong size bra. Listen up ladies, wearing the wrong size can:
  • damage your back and posture
  • change the shape of your breasts
  • make you look bigger than you really are...and not just in the bosom area

The boobs you had in your teens have changed in shape, dimension and height due to the gravitational pull ;) Go up a size. Go down a size. Don't get stuck on wearing a particular size- it must fit you correctly. Bras that give you four instead of two boobs, rise up your back, squelch your skin etc. are wrong for you. Get professional help and call 0-800-get me a bra that fits.

Larger busted ladies, please do not wear those thin lacy/t-shirting bras. They don't give you the  necessary support. You may as well walk around without a bra. Refer to the above.
 

Some tips for the single dads helping their daughters shop for a bra:
  • Different boxers and briefs fit you differently. Yes? Well so do bras. And there are hundreds of bra styles to choose from.
  • Don't rush her. Let her try on as many bras as she needs too to find what is right for her.
  • Take her to a professional bra fitter. Health wise, it's in your daughter's best interest.


 
Information without action is pointless: Let's all get involved and wear Pink, buy Pink breast cancer ribbon, and support sexy pink bra (just for the gents ;)
