There are the following precautions when choosing women's underwear:
Accurate measurement of size: Use a tape measure to measure the upper and lower chest circumference. The upper chest circumference is the size that passes through the nipple and wraps around the fullest part of the chest, while the lower chest circumference is the size at the bottom of the chest. Determine the cup size by subtracting the lower chest circumference from the upper chest circumference. For example, around 7.5cm is an AA cup, 10cm is an A cup, and an additional cup size is added for every 2.5cm increase.
Consider wearing scenarios: Full cup or 3/4 cup underwear with high comfort and moderate support is suitable for daily activities, and cotton is preferred as the material; Sports and fitness should choose specialized sports underwear according to the intensity of the exercise. For high-intensity exercise, choose styles with strong wrapping and support, while for low-intensity exercise, choose loose and comfortable ones; For special occasions such as wearing evening gowns, off the shoulder clothing, etc., specific styles such as strapless underwear, invisible underwear, and front button underwear should be paired.
Pay attention to fabric material: Cotton has strong moisture absorption, good breathability, softness and comfort, and is less irritating to the skin, but its elasticity and support may be slightly weaker; Lace is beautiful and delicate, but its breathability is average, and some people may be allergic; Nylon has high strength, good wear resistance, and good elasticity, but poor moisture absorption; Spandex has high elasticity and is often paired with other fabrics to make underwear fit the curves of the body and not easily deform.
Choose the appropriate style: In terms of cup size, full cup size is suitable for women with full and sagging breasts; 3/4 cup size has good inclusiveness and is suitable for various chest shapes; A 1/2 cup size is suitable for pairing with off shoulder and backless clothing, but it provides less support. In terms of shoulder strap selection, thin shoulder straps are fashionable but have weak support, suitable for pairing with off shoulder or thin suspender clothing, not suitable for women with large breasts; Wide shoulder straps can distribute shoulder pressure, suitable for women with full breasts; Adjustable shoulder straps can be adjusted in length according to needs to ensure fit and comfort. In the back design, the single breasted buckle is simple but has weak fixation; Multi breasted buckle has strong stability and support, suitable for women with larger breasts or those who need stronger support; Cross straps are fashionable and beautiful, which can increase stability and reduce shoulder pressure.
Pay attention to the feeling of trying on: After putting on the underwear, check whether the cup can completely wrap around the breast, without overflow or empty cup phenomenon; The lower chest circumference should fit the body so that one finger can be inserted; Adjust the length of the shoulder strap to make the shoulders comfortable without any creases or slipping. At the same time, feel whether the fabric of the underwear is soft and whether the edges and seams will rub against the skin. You can check whether the underwear will shift or restrict physical activity by lifting your hands, bending over, turning around, and other actions.
Choose reputable brands and channels: Underwear from well-known brands is more guaranteed in terms of quality, design, and comfort. It is recommended to purchase through legitimate channels such as offline mall counters, specialty stores, or online official flagship stores. You can also refer to others' evaluations, but pay attention to selecting true and objective content.
Timely replacement of underwear: The service life of underwear is generally 6-12 months, depending on the frequency of wearing and maintenance. If there is deformation, decreased elasticity, or loose shoulder straps in the underwear, it should be replaced in a timely manner.
