5 Benefits to Finding Your Bra Size Using an Online Quiz
One of the easiest and most effective ways to level up your wardrobe is to make sure you’re wearing the correct bra size. Breasts often change shape and size over the course of a woman’s life, so the bras you bought a few years ago may be ill-fitting today. With the internet, it’s easier than ever to skip the store and measure yourself for a bra at home. Here are five major benefits of using a handy online quiz to buy a new set of bras.
Save a Trip to the Mall
Driving to a lingerie store to shop for bras can easily become an all-day mission. Adding in gas, parking and additional shopping temptation at the mall, getting an in-person bra fitting can be unnecessarily expensive. You can accomplish the same goal in less than an hour by shopping online, using an easy bra fit quiz and taking your own measurements.
Fast & Convenient
When going to an in-store bra fitting, you’re at the mercy of the store’s timetable and the employee’s expertise. An online bra quiz is designed to make anyone an expert. By answering a few straightforward questions, you can quickly determine the perfect bra size for yourself. Video tutorials can show you how to take the best measurements for an easy perfect fit.
More Size and Style Selections
By bra shopping online, you can avoid the frustration of a store not carrying your newly fitted bra size. You can also avoid having to choose between only two or three styles in-store. Online bra retailers have a far wider variety of sizes and styles available.
Department store bra sizes frequently cap out at DD, which is less than halfway along the cup size spectrum. Many women find that their ideal bra size is an uncommon combination of band size and cup size, such as a 28D or a 44A. A store employee may try to fudge numbers and fit you into a common size the store sells, such as a 32C or a 38B. If you measure and buy at home, you can easily find less-common sizes.
More Accurate Measurements
Accurate measurements are essential to a proper bra fitting. When you measure yourself for a bra at home, you can better control the quality of your measurements. A store employee likely won’t take measurements more than once, but with the time you save by fitting yourself at home, you can take three or four measurements to ensure consistency and accuracy.
No Sales Pressure
Bra fittings in-store are a marketing tool, even if they’re free. Many women feel pressured to buy more than one bra to repay the employee’s time. An employee may also use subtle social pressure to get you to buy styles you aren’t in love with or don’t really need. Avoid sneaky sales tactics by fitting yourself at home and shopping on your terms.
There’s a wealth of knowledge about bras for women and measurements available on the internet, so don’t be afraid of the measuring tape. Fit yourself for a bra at home to save time, money and hassle.
