Why Get Custom Fitted?
A Custom Fitted Bra will obviously provide much better COMFORT every time you put it on. Beyond your comfort, a Custom Fitted Bra:
Improves Breast Health
- Breast tissue is composed of adipose tissue, glandular epithelium, ducts, blood vessels, lymph vessels, collagen supporting fibers, and the skin. Ill fitting bras displace this tissue which impedes circulation and lymphatic drainage; which carries away normal metabolic waste.
Reduces Risk of Breast Cancer
- Studies have shown that wearing a properly fitted bra supports regular cell growth and significantly reduces your chances of developing breast cancer.
Provides Support and Corrects Posture-Related Health Concerns
- Ill-fitting bras not only fail to provide adequate breast support, they can also contribute to poor posture and secondary musculoskeletal impairments in the upper body including: upper limb neural symptoms; deep bra furrows caused by excessive strap pressure; and neck and back pain.
- Custom-fitted, supportive bras have been found to alleviate up to 85% of these problems.
Every woman should wear a custom fitted bra, through every stage of her life; not only to look and feel her best, but to enjoy better support and development throughout her life. This is vital phase of proper health care.
