Bra shopping
Some years ago, the Oprah Winfrey Show brought the private issue of women’s undergarments to daytime television. The episode was dedicated to putting every woman in the right bra. Every woman present for the taping of the bra episode got professionally fitted. With 80% of women reportedly wearing the wrong bra size, it is evidently an area of women’s fashion that we do not give enough attention to.
Wearing a well-fitted bra doesn’t only help to enhance your final look of the day, but it is also vital for good posture and helps to slow down gravity’s pull on your breasts as they make that race down to your knees. Ladies in the Itty Bitty Titty Committee (IBTC) may not understand all the fuss about good bra support, but ladies in the Big Boobie Brigade (3Bs) who have suffered lower back pain, headaches, and skin irritations because of ill-fitting bras know how important good bra support is.
I don’t know what the average bra size in Nigeria is but I know that there are very few lingerie sellers catering to the needs of women with small back and larger cup sizes. This being my experience, I only shopped for bras when I travelled to the UK or waited till someone was travelling to buy me a bra. This meant that sometimes the same set of bras would be on duty for over a year and I would be hanging on to frayed elastic, tattered lace, stretched out bands and everything that would be an embarrassment in case of that emergency for which we are all warned to wear clean underwear.
Well, a few months ago, I found out about The Berg and have been in bra shopping heaven since. You can order from their online shop on Kaymu (www.kaymu.com.ng/seller/The-Berg) or you can call the owner who makes house calls (very useful for those who need a fitting before they buy). With their selection I don’t have to give up style for function. They have a good range of styles at very affordable prices. Whether you’re a member of the IBTC or the 3Bs, The Berg Intimates has got you covered!
So if your bra’s band is riding up your back, your bra straps are falling off your shoulders, or your breasts are spilling out of your bra cups, it is safe to say that you are wearing the wrong bra size and need to call The Berg Intimates (+234-817-859-9641).
