Let's be frank - when did you last get your bra size checked? A 2021 study by Boux Avenue revealed only 19% of women are donning the right bra size.
It's not unusual for your cup or band size to fluctuate over time - particularly post-childbirth. Moreover, some lingerie specialists recommend getting measured twice annually, given the importance of comfort. Despite the need for regular measurements, a survey by Pour Moi lingerie discovered one in five UK women confess their last bra fitting was six to 10 years ago.
It's evident that many delay getting their bra size reassessed, possibly due to lack of time, embarrassment, or simply not knowing how to do it themselves. Fortunately, there's a quick and easy method to do it at home. Tilly Tomkins, proprietor of lingerie brand Nearer The Moon, recently posted a video of herself re-measuring after concluding her 'feeding journey' with her baby, hoping to inspire others to 'accurately' measure themselves.
