The most appropriate bra

A bra to fulfill its function: hold the breasts well and properly.And, using one that does not correspond to our size can have an impact on our health.For example, a size too large or small or a stranger that exerts pressure on shoulders can produce, not only discomfort or marks on the skin, but also small back injuries, neck, shoulders, arms and even pain, pains of pains ofhead.In addition, a bad bra can cause irritations and, even, in extreme cases triggering an infection in the lower area of the breast.

To make this happen, the Gynecology specialist, Dr. Nicolás Alayon, gives us the keys of a good bra:

Size: composed of a number (thorax contour) and a letter (cup) must be one that adapts, sustains and covers the breast.A correct size must respect the thorax contour and breast size.For example, it can be easily recognized if a bra is too small when the chest stands out through the glasses, through the center of the bra or is too far from the body.On the contrary, it is large if the poster.

Brooche: The best fasteners are those who fashed behind, however, there are situations in which the front location is preferable: recent scars on the breast, shoulder pain, limitation of movements, etc..

Straps: They should not be too tight (leave brands) or too free (fall).The perfect measure is one in which two fingers enter without too much pressure.In addition, the higher the widest chest must be the strap.

Peto: It is that part that joins both glasses and must be well attached to the sternum, in this way the lowest location bibs will join the breasts more, while the high will separate them.It is necessary to prevent the breasts from being too tight, since they can cause excess of perspiration with the consequent irritation and formation of eccema by the friction.

Fabric: Regarding materials and tissues, the moment of the development of women influences to carry out the perfect choice.It is important to demystify, however, those theories that talk about synthetic tissues could be harmful due to allergies.This is not so, since a good bra must be composed of synthetic materials with a certain proportion of elastane to offer adequate tension.Cotton, for example, is not a good material due to its rapid deformation capacity.However, if allergies are suffered or in childhood it can be the ideal material.

AUTHORS WITH AOS: If the breast is fully developed, a good bra must carry rings.You just have to keep in mind that the hoop should never touch the breast fabric and you have to completely wrap the breast, for which it will be long enough, avoiding in such a way that it is key and produces derived discomforts ".

Materials more apt for sport

Any intense and continuous physical activity produces a mobility of the breasts that can cause tiny tears in the weakest tissues.In addition, perspiration is much greater.Hence, the importance of using adequate garments as a sports bra."For those sports of little impact, a medium support will be preferred, while for the high impact the subjection will be maximum.Sports fasteners should avoid the appearance of frictions, this will be achieved with models without ring, microfiber (more breathable and fast drying), with flat seamcontact the skin, "recommends the expert.

For his part, the plastic surgeon Richard Fakin, from Ocean Clinic, in Madrid, recalls that even small chest women should use fasteners when they do sports.

Finally, we must not forget that the size of the breasts varies over time and, above all, at certain times of life such as motherhood or breastfeeding.Even in the days before menstruation, many women suffer inflammation and swell.It is convenient to have several types (sports and common) and some of a higher size.

Likewise, in patients who have been performed by the chest surgery, their use is mandatory at least 3 to 6 months after the intervention during the 24 hours of the day, if possible during the first year, and fasteners should be chosensports and without reinforcements.From 12 months, the choice will be the one that adapts to the tastes of the person.
