      Recently, a survey of 1,000 randomly selected female A survey shows that 79.3% of women wear bras unscientifically, mainly in wearing them for a long time, being too tight and not adjusting them.

      Young women pursue "support" effect
      
      There are obvious differences in bra requirements between young women and middle-aged women.
      
      A salesperson at a well-known underwear counter in a shopping mall in Nanjing told reporters that customers generally accept the service of salespersons, so they will also promote some correct wearing methods to customers. However, as salespersons, if the customer insists on his own choice, even if the choice is not so scientific, they cannot forcefully stop it. A very common phenomenon among young female customers is that they attach great importance to the "push-up" effect of bras, hoping to show women's charm through the concentrated effect of breasts. In order to achieve the maximum effect, some customers will choose a smaller bra regardless of their own situation, which will cause the chest to be too tight and affect local blood circulation. Most middle-aged women don't care about these and focus mainly on the comfort of the bra. As for the size, the salesperson believes that the brand, style and fabric will affect the actual size of the bra, and the actual measurement should prevail when purchasing.
      
      Shoulder pain may come from your bra

      
      A woman told reporters that she doesn’t have many requirements for bras. The only thing she doesn’t like is lace bras, which are prone to pain when worn. In fact, the shape of the shoulder straps is also an important inspection point of the bra. If a narrow-strap bra is used for a long time for the sake of good looks, it is easy to over-fatigue the shoulder and back muscles and cause blood circulation disorders. Various reasons have led to an increasing number of women suffering from "bra syndrome". clinical The main symptoms are shoulder discomfort, especially shoulder and back pain, chest tightness, dizziness, and pinprick sensation when the head and neck are rotated. However, the reporter came from the province Hospital The Massage Department learned that the hospital has not found a direct connection between women's shoulder pain and bras in outpatient clinics. Other clinical statistics show that women who wear bras for more than 10 hours a day are more likely to develop breast cancer disease , twice as likely as others.
