To love your body, start by knowing it.
In the world there are more than 3,700 million women, each of them with such special qualities
that make it completely different from the rest.
Women with such diverse builds, with
curves so singular and above all with busts with such exceptional characteristics, that it is difficult
find two exactly the same.
But also in these 3,700 million women, coexist
insecure women, afraid to accept themselves, and above all, who do not know their body.
The women vs. your bust
Since the woman is in her first years of life, she begins to have a relationship close with her body and her bust, and in many cases this relationship can be one of love or hate: the As women we are constantly struggling with our femininity and how we see ourselves.
We women are in constant struggle with our femininity and how we see ourselves.

where I had to accept that my body had changed and that I had to start looking for bras that fit

I think it was at that moment that a fight began
between me and my bras. I have to confess that I couldn't find any for myself, and many times
I would buy any bra that made me look much more voluminous! I wasn't aware of what it was like
really my bust and what were those intimate garments that my body needed in that precise
moment of my life.
I am sure that this has not only happened to me, but to thousands
of women around the world. For example, it is very common to find women who become pregnant and

You are unique, do not compare yourself with anyone else
It also happened to me a lot that I compared myself with my friends who still had nothing

they “hurt” me, nor with the uncomfortable padding that made me look like I had a borrowed bra. Read more about bows and cups here.

Now yes,
Let's begin to discover them all so that you can identify yours and become a true
expert!
1. Small Bust
The first bust size that I am going to talk to you about is the small bust. This size is usually CUP A or B , and it is very easy to recognize: with little volume, flat on top and separated in the middle.
But then, what does and does not fit this bust size?
The first thing to understand is that not all bras are designed for all sizes.

The bras will fit you well.
A few weeks ago, I treated a young woman with a
very small bust When I started counseling her, she told me about her concern about not being able to
find a bra that really fit her. She told me that the only thing she wore was tops in sizes
very small, sports tops or simply did not wear anything, because he thought there were no bra
for her.
I made some recommendations to her on what to look for in a bra and
which definitely not.

Bralettes:
If you still don't know very well what bralettes are about, or what their difference is from conventional bras, here I am going to tell you a little about them.
This garment, which is relatively new in the world of underwear, has very special characteristics that make it the favorite of many. And I'm sure If you don't know her yet, you're going to fall in love with her!
Generally the bralettes are designed in 100% lace, with few structures, less support, natural modeling and with spectacular comfort. Its charm is in sensuality and style that puts the interior of each woman; with differentiated backs, unique necklines and special straps, making them a perfect accessory to show off with the outerwear.I want to tell you that this garment is so successful that most women with this bust size that I advise, they fall in love with its lightness, comfort and perfect fit when bust.

Triangular silhouettes half cup or with
little coverage:
Since small busts have little volume, half cup bras become the perfect ally for these women. This is because the bust completely fills these cups, avoiding extra spaces and making the bra look big. this silhouette tends to have deeper necklines and less coverage than full cups.
-
Highlight:
You already know that this bust size has little volume throughout the bust, so the Built-in push-up bras may be the ideal option you were looking for. Add a little extra volume to your neckline. These bras have internal pads that give you an appearance of a more rounded bust. These are also great for women who want to show off a larger bust than they have, without having to resort to surgery or aesthetic procedures.
The NOTs:
-
Deep Cups:
Deep cup bras are not a very good idea for women. women with small busts, since their bust is not enough to fill these cups, making the bra looks big, this happens even when wearing it in the correct size. This is one of the reasons why in many cases women with small bust do not find a strapless bra for them, since the cups open leaving spaces between the bust and bra.
-
Full Cups:
Just like deep cups, full cups can be the “eternal enemies” of small busts. I will never forget a super young woman who She came to the store looking for full cup bras because they were the only ones she wore. At first glance, on top of the shirt you could see that the bra was too big for her and that he couldn't tell what size bust she was. When she walked into the locker room and showed me the bra I was wearing, I was surprised: she had too much bust small and was wearing a full cup triangle bra in her size, but her bust It did not fully fill the bra.
-
Bras with many structures:
This bust size is very light, so it is not a good idea to search bras with built-in arches, underwires, or very complex structures. It is It is important to understand that this bust size does not need the same support as the rest of the busts in your day to day.
2. regular bust
This bust is usually B CUP, with a little more volume at the top and bottom and
tends to be rounded at the neckline. Let me tell you, if this is your size, you are quite the
lucky!, since almost everything is going to be good for you.
If this is your type of bust, you must
keep in mind that although you can choose from many more options than the rest of the sizes, your
Tastes and needs will be super important aspects when choosing your perfect bra.
The Yes: -
Triangular silhouettes:
It's no secret that these silhouettes are a favorite of all women! And yes you have a regular bust, you can afford to choose between those with a half cup and a cup complete thanks to the volume of your bust.
For example, the average silhouettes cups have deeper necklines and less coverage, making them the garments allies to wear with tighter garments or with pronounced necklines.
While the full cup ones have full coverage on the bust and are ideal for you, if you want to feel more comfortable and safe throughout the day.
-
Balcony silhouettes:
The balconet silhouettes are garments with straight necklines, ideal for wearing strapless. Yes you have regular bust, I am sure that this silhouette can suit you very well, since the volume of your bust will completely fill the cups of your bra, making your neckline looks much more impressive and rounded.

3. Large and very large bust
Lastly, I am going to talk to you about the large/very large bust. You can recognize it very easily: it has volume in the center, bottom, top and sides, and tends to be more united in the center. It's probably the bust size that requires more attention when choosing a bra, since it has much more volume, and because it feels heavier, it needs more support than the other sizes.
I tell you this because you must take into account that the larger your bust, the more structures and benefits your bra should have. I recommend that you read this previous article that may help you a lot so that you do not make some mistakes when choosing your bra. read now

In most of the cases that I have treated with women with large busts, the only thing they consider when of buying a bra, is that this bra reaches the largest sizes or cups that meet your needs. measurements, that is sizes like 38, 40 and 42 and cups like C, D and DD; but they do not take into account that it is Choosing the correct size is just as important as choosing the ideal benefits for this size. of bust

Good capacity cups and full cups:
I want to tell you that this is one of the most important factors to have take into account when choosing a bra for heavy bust, because the cups are responsible to contain your bust and that they stay in place 24/7.
have you ever felt that your bust is going to come out everywhere? Nobody wants those kinds of accidents! The deep cups will ensure that you feel safe and comfortable, without fear that the bust will it's going to "spill" or pop out at any moment.
-
Wide bases and backs:
There is no better feeling that everything is in its place and that you can live your day to day without anything bothering you. In bras, the base is one of the most important structures that are responsible for fully supporting your bust with a fit perfect to the body, giving you the ideal support. The wider the base, the more support will have your bust.
-
Wide straps:
The straps have the function of loading or supporting the weight of your bust, so if your bust is large you will need wider straps that can give you the security that your days require. These straps will not only help you hide your bust fallen but will make you feel more comfortable than ever.
The thin straps On the other hand, they are not such a good idea, since they can hurt you and generate those annoying "marks" on your shoulders.
So, if you have a heavy bust, start wearing wide straps! right now!
-
Unstructured silhouettes:
The arches are responsible for giving it better modeling, support and perfect fit to your bust. So when it comes to choosing that perfect bra, it's not so advisable to resort to silhouettes that do not have these internal arches, since your bust does not it will have the necessary support, it will look droopy and with an unattractive modeling.

- Has it suddenly happened to you that your bra rolls up? The side rods are also elements that you should look for in your bra, since they prevent this from happening to you and allow the bra to stays right where it should.

- In most cases, the bralettes They are designed for small and regular bust, so what I personally recommend that you look for more structured silhouettes that have a bralette-like appearance.

clearer idea of what will look great on you!
