8 Common Scenarios for Changing Bras: Understanding the Lifespan of Your Bra

Many people mistakenly think that bras are hidden underneath clothes and can be worn even if they are worn out. However, these bras may have lost their original supportive function, leading to sagging breasts. If you notice any of these 8 situations, it's time to replace your bra!

Bra Cups Riding Up Frequently

If you notice that your bra rides up as you lift your arms, it may indicate that the cups are too shallow and not fully covering your entire breast, or that the band at the bottom is too loose, causing the shifting of the bra.

Underwire Bra Pressing Against Ribs/ Exposed Underwire

The purpose of underwire in bras is to provide added support. However, when a bra becomes deformed, you may feel discomfort from the underwire pressing against your breasts or even experience the underwire visibly protruding from the bottom of the cups, posing a risk of skin abrasion.

Indentations on Chest or Back from Bra

If you notice indentations on your chest or back after taking off your bra, it may indicate that the cups or band of your bra are too small or too tight, causing pressure on your breasts. It's time to consider replacing your bra with a size that fits you properly.

Bra Straps Sliding Down

After prolonged washing, bra straps may become loose and lose elasticity, causing gaps between the bra and the skin, resulting in a loss of the original supportive function of the bra.

Bra Cups Gap or Bulge

If you frequently notice your bra cups separating from your breasts, it may indicate that the cups are too large for your breasts, or that the cups have become deformed.

Bra Cups Overfilled

If you feel that your bra is completely filled and overly tight, it may indicate that your breasts have become fuller than before, and it's time to consider a larger bra size.

Bra Band Getting Tighter with Hooking

The ideal fit of a bra back hook is snugly against the sternum. If the back hook keeps getting tighter or needs to be fastened on the innermost hook, it may indicate that the bra band has become loose or deformed.

Bra Straps Losing Elasticity

The main function of bra straps is to provide support and shape to the bust. If they lose elasticity, they may not be able to properly lift and support the breasts.
