The Anatomy of Your Bra
The brand changes, the style change, but the anatomy of a women’s bra remains the same. To get the right bra for yourself you should know the anatomy of a bra.
Cups: Forms a structure to hold & shape the breasts, can be padded, moulded and stitched.
Band: The band covers the rib cage and holds the cups in place and most of the support comes from only its band.
Straps: They are made of elastic materials and help hold the cups in place. Straps are adjustable to provide you with a snug fit.
Hook & eye closure: The closure makes a bra the most secure. However, there are some slip-on bras which don’t have hook & eye closures.
