Community Breast Care is here to provide advice for all women, from young girls upwards. We know 8 out of 10 ladies are wearing the wrong bra size. Therefore, we are endeavouring to change this. As we approach 40+ our bodies change again but most importantly so are are breasts shape and size.
As you may have gathered, Community Breast Care wants to educate all young girls from the ideal age of eight upwards. We have over a decade of bra fitting and breast care experience. We know how important it is to look after your breast. We also know how difficult it can be to get a bra fitting with an adviser who has compassion, and empathy as well as discretion.
As our youngsters are developing earlier than previous generations, we want to protect them against any medical conditions, which can be caused by ill-fitting bras. We want to encourage them to start wearing a little crop-top as soon as their little buds start to grow, and to educate them how and when a bra should be fitted and worn. This will give them the tools later in life to enable them to bra fit themselves and their future children of our future.
I am a mother and also in my forties, I know it was very rare to be taken for a bra fitting all those years ago. I also know from being a bra fitter and adviser that nine out of ten ladies are wearing the wrong size bra and the majority of these women are of a mature age.
When it comes to a bra size, some of the mature and older women think they are the same size they have always been and that one size in any bra will fit. However, this is not the case because some bras will come up bigger than others due to being made from different materials and manufactured by different companies. Also not all bra styles suit all ladies due to the shape and construction of the bra and the ladies posture.
Community Breast Care also offers corporate health and wellbeing days, along with one to one return to work sessions for breast cancer employees. We will also provide a FREE bra and fitting.
Community Breast Care would like to remind ladies to carry out breast self-examination and the need to be breast aware.
