Read moreOur Top-Rated Bras for Lifting and Supporting Sagging Breasts
Let’s face it. There comes a time when the girls will start heading south faster than birds on a winter furlow. While a natural part of the aging process, the right bra can do lots to help mitigate the sagging process.
There are a couple of factors that can influence breast sagging.
Breasts are composed of glandular (lobules and ducts for milk production) and connective (ligaments that hold everything together) tissue, fatty tissue, blood vessels and nerves.
Without proper support, this connective tissue and skin elasticity will naturally weaken over time as you age.
Some other factors include:
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding - hormonal issues and changing breast shape.
- Weight fluctuations - constantly gaining and losing weight.
- Genetics - some people are more prone to sagging breasts.
- Sun damage - UV rays can break down skin tissue.
- Smoking - damages skin and connective tissues.
- Lack of support - especially during exercise or other sports.
However, help is just a supportive bra away.
Lift & Support: What’s The Difference?
Depending on your needs, lift and support are not always synonymous when it comes to bras.
While there are bras designed to do both, breast size plays a role in choosing the best support bra for you. Supportive bras are designed to hold the breasts in place and minimize bounce and movement.
Often designed with wider bands and straps, these bras offer more comfort while reducing strain on back and shoulders. With comfort and functionality in mind, support bras are just right for everyday wear, especially for women with larger breasts or physically active people.
Bras that lift can also be supportive but they are designed to augment shape and appearance. Typically, breasts are elevated to a higher position through underwires or padding. Offering a more enhanced décolleté, bras that lift create more cleavage.
Benefits of a Supportive Bra
Without a doubt, getting into the right bra is the best thing you can do to reduce sagging breasts.
- By supporting the breast tissue, you minimize the pull on your shoulders and back while reducing back pain.
- Designed to lessen excessive bounce and movement, your breasts are held in place in comfort and coverage.
- Wider bands and shoulder straps give a more smoothing effect while providing breathable yet fitted coverage.
- Some bras offer adjustable padding and straps that allow you to control the aesthetics while maintaining support.
