Are You in the Pink?
Your breast friends deserve the same love and care as every other part of you. Check yourself out with Wacoal’s handy tips in conjunction with their Pink Ribbon Campaign this month
Finding the perfect bra fit can sometimes be incredibly challenging. More often than not, we think we know our cup and band size, but this does not necessarily mean we are wearing our bra the ‘right’ way. We sometimes forget about the importance of having a good posture and the benefits that come with it; our mind may be disconnected from our body and by the time we realise, it may be too late. Being mindful and aware is crucial, especially when time is of the essence, which tends to be the case when it comes to the big ‘C’—the dreaded word that we can never be prepared to hear. We are responsible for protecting ourselves. Wearing your bra the right way is the first step to ensuring good support for your back bone and balancing the weight equally across your shoulders. Having a good posture will allow you to strengthen your muscles for firm alignment, and prevent excessive stress on the joints of the spine. Did you know that the way we slip on our bra, and fit our breasts into each cup determines how comfortable we will be throughout the day? And this will naturally enhance our ability to exude confidence regardless of our age, shape and size of our body and breasts. Scooping out excess flesh of the breast from underneath the armpit and ensuring your breasts fall nicely into each cup can better accentuate your cleavage for a more flattering body contour. Wacoal shares with us the hand-touch technique and encourages women to examine themselves a week after their periods end. It is a simple thing and can be easily done in the shower. Firstly, keep your fingers flat and in a circular motion, press the various areas of your breasts. Then cover the entire breast and sweep in from your armpit towards your chest. Finally, look out for anything unusual such as a lump, or thickening of the skin and any discharge or discolouration of the nipples. Making this part of your monthly routine may help you with early detection. At the heart of Wacoal’s Pink Ribbon Campaign is genuine care for those who have suffered from or been affected by breast cancer. Wacoal’s Remamma Bra and Prosthesis gives all women who have gone through a mastectomy the chance to feel comfortable in their original, pre-mastectomy silhouette, giving them just what they need to uplift their spirits and remain positive during this difficult phase. Beauty advisors at Wacoal are committed to helping women improve their lifestyles in light of pink day, while also driving awareness on early detection and how it can be curable if treated in a timely manner.
Keeping in good health is of utmost importance, and supporting those who are not can make a remarkable difference
