Are your Bra Expectations leading you on a Unicorn Hunt?

Are You on a Unicorn Hunt for the Perfect Bra?

Are you out there searching for the elusive bra that does everything all at once—100% comfortable, feels like you're wearing nothing, and can be worn 24/7? What are you doing? Why are you doing that to yourself?

I understand that for many women, there are a lot of preconceived notions about bras. The biggest one I see every day is the unrealistic expectation that a bra should lift, shape, and bring back that youthful look we had when "the girls" first came in, yet be so comfortable that you can wear it all day without feeling it.

The Reality of Bra Comfort

Do you feel your clothes? Do you feel your pants? Your bra should be no more obtrusive than any other garment in your wardrobe. However, even after 10 hours of wearing my bra, I go home and change bras—just like I do with my shoes. After wearing my work shoes all day, which are really good quality and comfortable, I change into something different at home. I don't expect them to be totally comfortable, like I'm wearing nothing, 100% of the time.

Embrace Variation and Listen to Your Body

That's why I have a little variation in my wardrobe. There are days when I'm not a happy camper. My body isn't being nice to me, and sometimes when those hormones are throwing a party, it's not a pleasant place on my skin. So, I have a bra that maybe isn't quite doing the shaping I would normally enjoy, but it is 100% non-irritating.

It's about what you expect. If you can flow with your body and understand that it's not about being that perfect image all the time, and openly say, "Hey, I'm not feeling great today, so I'm gonna do something different," that's okay. Tomorrow will be different. Tomorrow will be better. You'll find that your stress about bras and your discomfort in them will start to go away.

Quality Matters in the Essentials

It's about how we choose to feel in our bodies, in our clothes, in our bras, and in our shoes. One thing I know for sure is that Nana was absolutely right: Women need quality in three places—beds, bras, and shoes—because it's where we spend all our time. A bad fit in any one of these three things can really muck up our day.

By understanding and embracing the natural variations in our bodies and needs, we can choose bras that not only fit well but also make us feel confident and comfortable.
