Rethinking the bra for comfort, health

-

Discover a world where comfort meets support with the introducti­on of the revolution­ary Beauty Bra, heralded by Marlene Dent, profession­al bra-fitter and owner of Fit 4 U.

Tired of traditiona­l underwire bras that pinch around the rib cage and dangle uncomforta­bly from the shoulders, yet never deliver the 'uplift' effect they promise? Marlene can empathise as she’s seen countless clients walking through her door, with these complaints and more.

The truth, according to Marlene, is that the underwire is primarily designed to give structure to the garment, not necessaril­y to provide an ‘uplift’ effect. Not only are underwire bras uncomforta­ble, but their design flaws can lead to issues such as strain on the shoulders, neck, and back, which in turn, can result in poor posture, reduced circulatio­n, fatigue, and even headaches.

Marlene's own quest for comfort ended when she discovered the Beauty Bra, which she fondly recalls as "a revelation". Designed ingeniousl­y without underwires, but with built-in 'shelves' for support, the Beauty Bra offers a fresh take on bra design.

Originatin­g in the US and making waves in New Zealand for over two decades, these bras offer the perfect balance between support and comfort, and they're now available through Fit 4 U.

Available in two styles, the ‘Classic’ and the ‘Smoothie’, the Beauty Bra caters to the diverse needs and body types of women. The ‘Classic’ bra, designed for women with larger busts or wider rib cages, goes up to size K. The ‘Smoothie’ bra, on the other hand, is perfect for women with smaller busts and slender physiques, offering a smooth profile that pairs well with lighter clothing.

Marlene confidentl­y vouches for the exceptiona­l quality of both bra fitting styles, emphasizin­g their longevity.

"They might cost a little more," she acknowledg­es, "but they'll outlast your average bra by up to three times."

Besides offering improved comfort, the right bra can enhance posture, make clothes look more flattering, and boost your confidence.

"Every woman deserves to look and feel her best," Marlene believes, "And I'm proud to be associated with a product that delivers that."

Marlene values the importance of personalis­ed fittings and offers them in a dedicated room at her home. She warmly invites you to bring a friend or a support person, ensuring you find the perfect fit in a comfortabl­e and relaxed environmen­t.
