The professional sports engineer, biomechanics specialist, and bra-fitting expert Mari Thomas-Wuellend from England revealed signs of an ill-fitting bra. A video clip on this subject was posted on her TikTok account.
The founder of the athletic wear brand Maaree, who conducted tests on bras from major sports labels at Loughborough University, emphasized that many women select undergarments of the wrong size. Among the indicators pointing to this, she noted:
the band constantly riding up on the back, necessitating frequent pulling down,
the need for regular shortening of the shoulder straps.
Also, according to Mari, the material of the garment should not cause irritation to the skin, and the underwires should not dig into the body.
Underwires or the edges of the cups must under no circumstances cross over the soft tissue of the breast; they should only encircle it. If a cup digs into the breast, it is a clear sign of an incorrectly sized bra.
Earlier in February, lingerie specialist and creator of the brand Maison SL, Susana Lorena, presented straightforward advice for selecting the perfect bra.
