Title: Bras
Post by: marge on July 23, 2021, 06:54:04 PM

Just in case it helps anyone, l’d been experiencing quite a lot of upper stomach pain and discomfort and, thinking it was indigestion, l was taking Rennies etc. I then noticed l always had a red line where my bra was. I’d been wearing a 36B for donkey’s years, so have bought myself a couple of 38B bras and it’s made such a difference; all the discomfort has gone.

It is said that 85% of us wear the wrong sized bra!  I was 'correctly' measured by 3 different companies several years ago: with 3 different sizes  >:(.

Another (cheaper!) solution is to buy bra-extenders, but be careful to order the correct number of hooks&eyes!
