Are you always fiddling with your straps? Do you get backache in the afternoon? Do your cups floweth over?

Then you’re among the four out of five women wearing the wrong bra.

Aside from being the perfect excuse to treat yourself to some new lingerie, you should also be asking whether your bra is damaging your health.

While prettiness counts, the perfect fit should be at the forefront of your mind. 

Wearing an ill-fitting bra can lead to health problems including headaches, stomach upsets and back and shoulder issues.

It also exposes you to the risk of irreversible damage to your breast ligaments, which can not only cause pain, but can also lead to sagging.

One of the biggest no-nos is wearing a bra that doesn’t give you enough support.
