Most Women Are Wearing The Wrong Bra (And Don't Know It) | The Forties Formula In Focus

That's just mind blowing because I genuinely feel like I wish I'd bloody known this before.

Like, why does no one tell us this stuff? Why does no one tell us this stuff?

Why does no one tell us this stuff? But I think because...

You just don't get educated around it.

There aren't a lot of people that kind of really know the deep level understanding of how the bra should fit properly.

So if you think at school, it's not part of the curriculum.

Parents probably might not feel comfortable talking to their children about breasts.

And then you just go into a store where the sales assistants probably haven't been trained fully in understanding the fit for the bra.

So they whip out a tape measure, look at a size guide, tell you what you think you should be.

And it just kind of goes from there.

So I think it's just basically a lack of education and a lack of understanding.

And when you go to stores, let's say a good department store, you might find a lovely lady there who has been there for many years, who has got the passion to understand bra fittings and really want to help.

Or it might just be somebody who's come from menswear and is now working in fashion female department store or the children's toy section and only knows how to do that quick measuring tape technique and then send you into the changing room.

I

worked in Debenhams and I'm picturing the lady who'd been there for forever.

And then the people who were just coming in and out based on, you know, whether she was around or not.

So this is

so weird because this is actually what happens.

But also like you mentioned, you know, our mothers might not have known how to talk to us about it.

And I said mothers, you said parents, you know, whatever gender, but probably would be our moms.

I don't know your situation, Caroline, but I know that Jasmine and I are really close with our moms.

And still neither of our moms really gave us like too much knowledge around

that.

But then I think my mom also, even to this day, would just go to a shop and be like, this one looks like it will fit.

Yeah.
