Medispa brings out correct scientific measures of wearing a right bra
Most of the
women still do not know what is the right bra size they should be wearing. Indian women wear bra just on the
basis of their body size- they forget that there are a lot of other things that
play a crucial role in defining a right bra size.
The research
done at Aesthetics Medispa is to assess the breast volume and bra size in the
endeavour to deliver the desired result in breast augmentation, we discovered
that most of the women had no clue about the right bra size they should be wearing
The
bra provides support but if we choose wrong size of bra it leads
to sagging of breasts. Hence it is very important to buy a bra of right
fit and size.
Traditionally
bra manufacturers used a system based on the difference,in inches, between the
under breast circumference (called band size)plus four if even and five if odd number and the
bust circumference. If the difference is one, the cup size is A, if 2, B, if 3
C, if 4 D. Eg. If the under bust circumference measure 27, you
add 5 to make the Band size 32. If the bust circumference is 36, the difference
between the band size and bust circumference, four, in this case the bra cup
size is D.
This is not
a foolproof system and women know that various manufacturers measure bra cup
size differently. This system also has errors when the breasts are too small or
there is sagging of breasts.
Research done by Dr Edward Pechter is now
being accepted as a better and a more consistent way of getting the bra size
correct. His research showed that for women in the 34-36 band size, a
transverse diameter of the breast of 7 inches (measured across the fullest part
of the breast) corresponded to an A cup, 8 inches to B, 9 inches to C etc.Because manufacturers make cup sizes smaller
for smaller band sizes and larger for larger band sizes, women with a 30 or
32" band measurement should deduct about one inch from these measurements
(A cup = 6", B cup = 7" and so on). By the same token, women in the
38-40" band size range will find that bras are upsized in cup size at
these band measurements. Women in this size range are more likely to be an A
cup at 8", B cup at 9" and so on.
Being able to buy the right bra size helps in
improving the support to the breasts. It is not only increases comfort, but
prevents sagging. At Aesthetics Medispa, this research is used in delivering
the augmentation that women want.
