Does Your Bra hurt? is your breast in pain, are you risking breast or other
cancer invading Your Body.
by: Mrs. I. Macdonald
One thought to ponder is about muscle. When you have a plaster cast on you
lose muscle tone. This equates to what a bra does to you pectoral muscles.
It cuts off blood flow therefore increases the chance of muscle waste. Have
you wondered why weightlifters do not wear bras or need them? Does your bra
hurt if so one thought is it could be to tight. This is one serious thought
all medical staff and underwear designers need to address.
Discuss your bra hurting with us
Is your breast in pain? For approximately 15 years, I suffered what is known
a non clinical breast pain, a sore back and sometimes neck pain. I found
over the past few years through my research that this mostly occurred the
days I wore a bra and often taking a couple of days to recover. It did not
matter whether the bra fit correctly, was expensive or cheap the pain still
happened. I tried all sorts of things massage, acupuncture, diet, herbal,
vitamin and mineral supplements, creams and more nothing seemed to work.
One day I clicked after not having a bra on for several weeks that my
condition had improved, or so I thought until the next day I wore a bra
again, it all flared up. I have put this theory to the test for 11 years and
have not had a problem except for when I were a bra. I confirmed this with
many doctors a number of times all stated that non clinical pain if not
rectified can become clinical pain and could in turn lead to breast cancer.
Cancer is known by many people to take a life and there is ways to avoid the
problem happening to you or your family and friends. It is known that cancer
is caused by unfermented sugars in the body and also lack of oxygen to the
cells. It helps to avoid the excess consumption of sugars and carbohydrates
which are stored in the body as fat. Eat plenty of fibre, and oxygen
producing vegetables, example broccoli, carrots and the like.
I have tested various shops including Bras and Things, David Jones, Myers
and more all of these stores have supposed specialist people in the bra
section. Each of these people stated that unless you get a proper fitting
for your proper bra size, you lead to more than just an uncomfortable
experience. They stated bras that do not fit correctly may cause injury to
your health including numbness in your hands and fingers, but none asked is
your breast in pain. They do everything to try to get you to utilise their
services but alas after using them the bra left me in pain. I have found
when you find a bra that fits right, like me, you also will feel and look
better.
When I first needed to start wearing bras the letters and numbers on bras
were confusing. The differences between A and AA? Are DD and E the same bra,
but with different letters? Below you will find my simple process that
actually is one of the easiest ways to figure out for yourself what your
size is. Just get your cloth measuring tape and start measuring.
I quite often now go many a day without a bra in public and private. I have
found it easier to manage the pain and I get fewer pimples in the areas that
rub and my moles do not get as irritated.
Being that most times I make my own clothes, lingerie etc. due to my own
specific needs, I developed the below calculation in 1990, to help with
myself, friends and family in mind. Just because you get the measurements
right for yourself below, this does not mean the manufacturer has made the
item the correct size as they tend to make them a big or small version of
the size.
Step One:
Wrap the tape around either the area just beneath your breasts or the top of
the cleavage. You should pull the tape so that it is snug, but not too
tight. Now, subtract five from your measurement. This number is your band
size; remember that for later.
Step Two:
Move the tape upward so that it covers the fullest WIDTH of your bust. Make
sure that the tape is a little loose around your body. Check out your
measurement. If you do not get a whole number, round it up. Now, subtract
your band size from this.
Step Three:
Measure from the center top of your shoulder (where the strap normally sits)
to the center of the nipple. Subtract the result of step 2 from this.
Step Four:
Now you have your cup size. Your number corresponds to the bra
industries sizes like this:
AA = less than one inch
A = one inch
B = two inches
C = three inches
D = four inches
E (or DD) = five inches
F (or DDD) = six inches
Example:
Step 1 result; My band measurement is 36 inch - 5 inch = 31 Step 2 result;
My width = 40.5 inch rounded to 41 inch - 31 = 10 Step 3 result; My strap
length = 13 - 10 = 3 inch This gives c in step 4
Is your breast in pain? I hope this helps to remove the frustration of the
sizing of bras which is one of the many problems women face when purchasing.
