Assignment 5-1

Today in the local paper, I read a great column titled “Till you Drop” and the subject was bras. This may not sound very interesting if you are a man, however to us women, this is a viable and sometimes hot topic. The article discussed the different types of bras and manufacturers that are on the market and how they fit each individual woman.

As women know, there are many different types and each bra will fit differently on women. You have the underwire, the t-back, the all lace and no support bra, the designer name bras that the models make look good, however, when we wear them, they may not fit us as well, but they still look good. Then we have the push up bras, the glue on bras, the just my fit bras. So many styles to choose from.

The column had replies from a several women whose comments were in the range that they thought they were the only one that as soon as they arrived home, took the bra off to have comfort to having strapless or a bra that has straps. Some solutions for going “braless” were to buy a tank top that has a shelf bra built in. One reply on the column regarding different bras was about the woman’s size of breasts. I do agree that the size of your breasts does change the type of bra and which manufacturer has the best fit for you. Since each woman is built differently, we all should take into consideration how we look with out and with the support of a good bra. One way is to take the time and go get yourself fitted for one. This may be a bit out of your comfort zone, however, the results and the knowledge that is gained by being fitted is well worth going out of your comfort zone to get the best bra for you.
