but if you follow a few easy tips,

your girls will rest easy in the perfect home.

Let's figure out your perfect bra size.

First, find your band size in inches

by bringing measuring tape around your back

and directly under your breasts.

Measure from around your back again,

but this time, bring the measuring tape over

the fullest part of your breast.

Then take the difference between this number

and your band measurement.

Each inch difference between your band and cup measurements

brings you up a cup size.

Remember that the cup sizes reduce with lower band sizes.

So the cup of a 38B is bigger than a 36B.

It's always a good idea to try a bra on.

Every bra will feel and look different,

so use your measurement as a guide,

and adjust accordingly to the bra style you're buying.

The best way to put on a bra

is to first put the straps over your shoulders,

then place your breasts into the cups

and hook the back of the bra.

If you have bigger breasts, you can try

the Stoop, Scoop, and Smooth method,

where you bend over, scoop your breasts into place

with your nipple at the center of the cup,

and then run your finger along the inside

of the top of the bra to smooth anything

that may be spilling over.

There shouldn't be gapping or crushing

when you're wearing a bra.

You should be able to get two fingers under the back closure

of your bra.

And your breast should be flush with your bra cups.

The band of the bra is actually where you're getting

most of your support.

But over time, the elastic stretches out.

You should start off wearing your bra on the last hook,

so you can compensate for the stretching by using

tighter hooks in the future.

Your bra band should be level with your underwire.

No higher.

You probably have a favorite bra

that you want to wear every day,

but the elastic in the band rapidly wears out

when it isn't given time to retract and regain strength.

Make sure that you're rotating your bras

to prevent this from happening.

It's best to hand wash your bras in cold water

and hang them up to air dry.

Bras that are properly cared for normally last

about eight months, depending on factors like quality

and how often it's worn.

If you have bruises from your underwire,

or you're starting to see more padding than actual bra,

it's probably time to invest in something new.

So now you know how to find, wear, and take care

of your bra.

Remember these tips, and your boobs

will never complain again.
