Plus Size Bras - How to choose the right one

Women's bras are an important wardrobe item that not only complements your outfit style, but also makes you feel comfortable and confident. Especially when it comes to the Plua Size audience, it's important to find the right bra that not only goes with your clothes but also makes you feel comfortable and supportive. In this article, we will discuss the different types of bras and help you learn how to choose the right bra for your needs.

Types of bras. How do they differ?

Bra types differ in style and function. Bralet bras are perfect for everyday use, bralet bras with bows provide shaping, orthopaedic bras keep you comfortable, nursing bras make it easier for breastfeeding mothers, and cotton bras provide softness. It's a choice to suit your needs.

Bras without wires

Wireless bras are characterised by their simplicity and, at the same time, their comfort. They are the ideal choice for everyday use, especially when it comes to Plus Size underwear. These bras not only provide optimal shape support, but also give you a feeling of comfort throughout the day, as they are lightweight and adapt perfectly to the lines of your body. This is the perfect choice for those who want to feel comfortable and at the same time maintain an elegant look.

Wired Bras

Underwire bras are an exceptional choice for women who want to accentuate their figure lines and achieve excellent shape support. These bras perfectly model your breasts, giving you an elegant look. They are a popular choice for those who are looking for a little extra shaping, as these bras offer exceptional support without restricting movement. It's a great way to feel comfortable and stay stylish at the same time.

Bras fastened at the front

Front-fastening bras have a distinctive design that makes them easy to put on and take off. It is the perfect choice for those who appreciate simplicity and convenience in their daily life, especially when they are in a hurry. The front fastening provides the necessary support and comfort. It is the ideal choice for those who strive for a great look with minimal effort.

Orthopaedic bras

Orthopaedic bras with internal pockets are an exceptional choice for women who have undergone breast removal surgery. These bras provide not only comfort but also extra support. The internal pockets allow you to comfortably store additional cups or prostheses, ensuring natural shapes and self-confidence. These bras are invaluable helpers and support during this difficult stage of life.

Bras for breastfeeding mothers

Women who are breastfeeding are particularly recommended to choose special nursing bras. These bras are designed with comfort and efficiency in mind. These bras not only offer comfort but also discretion, allowing you to feed your baby when you need to. They are the perfect choice for women who want to combine style and functionality.

Cotton bras

Cotton bras are characterised by their comfort and soft fabric, which is extremely pleasant on the skin. It is the perfect choice for those with sensitive skin, as cotton is a natural, breathable material that does not irritate. These bras also absorb moisture very well, making them pleasant to wear all day long. In addition, they give you a natural feel and comfort, making them perfect for those who crave everyday comfort.

What to look for when choosing a bra?

Start by measuring your body circumference accurately. Accurate measurements are the key to finding a bra that really fits your shape. Different manufacturers may have different sizing standards, so careful measurements will ensure that the bra you choose will fit perfectly. It is important to consider what type of bra you need. Do you need a bra with underwire for excellent shape support, or perhaps a nursing bra if you are breastfeeding your baby during this period? Take into account your individual needs and decide which bra will best suit your needs. Remember to choose a bra made only of high quality materials. Cotton, microfibre or other high quality materials will ensure not only comfort but also long-lasting use.

How do I measure my girth to make sure the bra I buy online fits?

The first thing to do when choosing a bra is to determine your exact bust size. To do this, measure your bust band and cup size. You can find out the size of your chest band by wrapping a measuring tape (centimeter) around your ribcage under your breasts. Make sure that the tape is straight and fits comfortably against your body, and after measuring, round the number to the nearest multiple of 5. If your girth is 89, your band size would be 90. To determine your cup size, wrap the measuring tape around the widest part of your chest and subtract the length of the tape under your chest. This will determine the cup size of the chest. More detailed sizes and measurements are given in the figure below.
