Champion Inter-Shape Underwire Sports Bra
EssentialApparel.com
There are six key areas on a bra that help you determine whether its a good fitting bra or not.
The Closure : Whether the closure is in the front or back, the closure should lie flat without any pulling.
The Underwire : The channels that holds the underwire should enclose the breast and never sit on top of the breast itself.
The Cups : Your breasts should fill the cup without spilling over the top if the bre or sides. Spillage means that you need a larger cup size. If the fabric on the cup wrinkles, that means the bra is too large.
The Center Front : The fabric at the center of the bra (or the front closure) should sit flat against you.
The Straps : The bra straps should fit flat against the shoulders without digging in.
The Band : The band should make a perfect cirlce around the rib cage. A bra is too large, if the band rides up the back, and too small if it pushes out rolls of skin.

HOW TO WASH YOUR BRAS AND MAKE THEM LAST
By chica | December 11, 2007
With all that we have to do in a day, taking special care of our laundry can be a hassle. In order to help keep the life of your bra, follow these tips and you will see the life span of your bras expand.
Washing Bras
There are two options on how to delicately wash your bra. The best option is to wash your bras by hand and avoid the washing machine. Always use a delicate soda-based
fabric detergent because other detergents may contain chemicals harmful to delicate fabrics. To hand wash, fill a deep sink with cold water and detergent (or hand soap) and then soak. The second option is to use the washing machine but to be sure to place your bra’s inside a lingerie bag or a pillow liner. Set your machine on the delicate cycle at a cold temperature. Try to keep the hooks clasped to the bras do not tangle.
Drying Bras
The dryer is the worst thing for a bra. The dryer is not delicate enough for your delicate bras and the heat is not good for it either. Instead of using the dryer, place your bras to dry on their own using a clothesline or drying rack. The money you will save by not having to purchase a new bra every time it goes through the dryer will far outweigh the extra time taken for it to dry.
Washing your bras does not need to be done every day after every wearing, but taking good care of your bra’s will ensure long lasting coverage and comfort!
