The Perfect Bra?

There is no perfect bra, because no two women are alike. Just like the shoes in your closet, your lingerie drawer should reflect your lifestyle, needs and shape. You wouldn’t wear running shoes to a wedding or stilettos to go jogging. The same applies to bras. You wear a sports bra when you need better support and an elegant bra for a night on the town. Whether, dainty, daring, supportive or sporty, you need the right style to suit your shape and size. Yes, size counts too! Women with bigger breasts need more support, either from underwire or elastic reinforcements. Small-breasted women also need support, but definition is even more important to highlight their contours. When you want to go for glamour, push-up, demi-cup, strapless and convertible (backless, crisscross, halter) bras are perfect. When you feel sporty or casual, go for a sports, soft cup, seamless or contour bra. Plunging bras, with lots of lace, sheer fabric and bows are perfect for the bedroom or the boardroom. After all, you’re the only one who knows what’s underneath your clothes!

Bra Basics
One thing’s for sure, though. Regardless of the type of bra you wear, having the right fit and proper adjustment will make all the difference in the world. What really count are band size (as in 32, 34, 36 or 38) and cup size (A, B, C, D). The two measurements are interrelated, because cup size increases with larger band sizes. For example, a 32B will always be a 32, but the B cup size will increase as the band size increases, so the cup size of a 36B bra would be larger.

How do you know what’s right for you?
If your band size is too small, your bra will feel tight and flesh will overflow on the sides. If your band size is too large, your bra will ride up your back and provide no support at all. You know that your cup size is too small when your breasts spill over the top and sides of your bra or if the underwire pokes into breast tissue. Straps should be tight enough to hold your bra in place, but not so tight that they cut into your skin. The rule of thumb-so to speak-is that you should be able to fit two fingers snugly under the top of the strap. Of course, you don’t want the straps to be so loose that they fall down. The band should be snug and fit evenly around the rib cage. Good posture is an excellent figure enhancer…and it’s free! Remember to hold your shoulders back and stand tall. Go ahead…say goodbye to droopiness, overflowing cups and straps that are too tight. Say hello to the new and confident you!

Being your best is a breeze in the summertime

Rest and relaxation. Isn’t that what summer is all about? Lazy days, casual clothes, friends and fun…the stuff that dreams are made of. To celebrate summer this year, the WonderBra brand is introducing totally new technology. No Poke technology is available with or without underwires. So relax and enjoy what will likely be your most comfortable summer yet.

No Poke Wire™ underwire technology
Our new Spring-Tipped™ underwires shift with your body’s movements. This takes the edge off that pinching or poking sensation. In addition to being spring-tipped, the underwires are wrapped in four layers of soft fabric for even more comfortable cushioning. That means all women can benefit from the best underwire support, without the discomfort.

No Poke Side Stays™ wire-free technology
Our new No Poke Side Stays™ bras have stays with slimmer, ultra-flexible tips to eliminate poking and pinching. They’re sewn into the sides of the bra and wrapped in smooth fabric, for that ultimate cushiony feel and total comfort.

The No Poke Wire™ and No Poke Side Stays™ technologies are available in the following styles: WonderBra 7483 and 2483, WonderBra Plus 1983, and WonderBra Me 1645. Styles are available in a variety of colours and patterns. Each style has seamless cups for a flawless form. Plus, the rear foam fastener is ultra-soft to help prevent irritation.

Enjoy your best summer ever in casual comfort!
