you are wearing the wrong bra:

  • Your bra strap is digging into your skin
  • Your breasts are spilling out of the cup
  • The cup is away from the top of the bra
  • The underband rides up your back

Restricted breathing

If the bra is too tight or if the underwire does not fit perfectly on the breast bone, you will feel that you can’t breath properly.

Indigestion

A tight bra can cause indigestion; it can obstruct the flow of the digestive system.

Back pain

If the bra does not fit correctly, and the underband chokes the back, it can increase the risk of back pain. Same goes for shoulder blades, the bra should not restrict your movement.

Poor posture

If you slouch or hunch over it could be that your bra is causing the tension.

Abrasions

Ill-fitting bras can limit the circulation of blood and oxygen to certain parts of your body. The friction of a tight bra can also cause scratches.

Breast pain

Limited circulation in your breast can make you uneasy. This can lead to the next problem.

Breast cancer

Ill fitting bras restrict the lymph flow to the breasts; this increases the toxins in your breast, which may cause cancer.
