Win a Bra by Wacoal!

I was invited to a blogger event sponsored by Wacoal a few weeks ago. Honestly, before I was invited, I'd never even heard of Wacoal. For those of you who don't know, Wacoal is a lingerie company. They make bras, panties, shapewear, etc. You can order online, or find them at department stores near you.

At this event, we were told that 8 out 10 women are wearing the wrong bra size. EIGHT out of TEN! We poled each other after our fittings and sure enough, I think 9 out of 10 of us were in the wrong size. (I was close, but was still off by a bit.) When I tried on a bra in the correct size, holy cow, I didn't have to tuck my boobs into the waistband of my pants! Seriously, it made such a difference! How many of you know someone who's boobs sag in an ill-fitting bra? How about a person who always has quadraboobs (you know where she spills out on top creating the look of a four boobs)? Yeah, most of us don't really want to look like we have udders under our t-shirts. I cannot stress enough the importance of getting a professional fitting! It just takes a few minutes. Do it!

And here's another little tip. Not all bras are created equal. You have to try on a bunch of them to find a style that suits you well. For example, if you're well-endowed, a demi-cup bra is probably not going to be the best option for you. So, I tried on a few Wacoal bras and decided on one that I liked and that fit well. The first time I put it on, I thought, Ohmygosh, this is so tight! Holy cow, I can't breathe! It actually wasn't tight at all, but I'd gotten so used to my lose-fitting bras that it seemed strange. And now, I can't stand to wear any of my other bras so I'm washing my Wacoal one nearly every day. In fact, I just ordered a couple more online so I won't have to wash this one every day. A good, well-fitting bra is one of those things worth splurging on. But remember to wash it separately and line-dry it so it retains its shape and lasts a long time, making it well worth the money!

Another cool thing about Wacoal is that they donate $2 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure® for every Wacoal bra, shapewear piece or b.tempt'd bra purchased at their Fit for the Cure events. To find an event near you, go HERE.
