Tyra recommended Plus Size Front Closure Bra

Recommended by the Tyra Banks Show on "Picking the Right Bra and Panty" episode.

Most women choose front closure or back closure, as to what feels natural to them, and stick with it for life. It is just like sleepwear choices, a night gown verses Pjs. It is what feels right.

Plus size women have traditionally not had a great choice so most wear a back closure bra by default.

Playtex bras have solved this problem by taking their best selling plus size bra and creating this great variation on a good thing. They have keep the best features that give a wonderful fit and maximum support. To this they added a popular detail not often found in plus size bras - FRONT CLOSURE. This is sometimes called spa styling - I still have no idea why. In the front they added large hooks and eyes that lie flat and are easy to close.

The choice of front verses back closure can just be a personal preference however if you have mobility issues in your arms, shoulders or fingers a front closure bra can be a lifesaver.

The Playtex 18 hour Easier on Front Closure with Flex Back is available is sizes from 36B through 54DDD. The three color choices are black, white and light beige in a comfortable microfiber fabric in a floral woven print.

The name mentions Flex back. This is a new design of elastic that criss crosses the back and helps to hide back fat by smoothing the back and sides. This has become a common problem with many of the trendy thin knits and body hugging styles that reveal every fold our body produces.

This bra has it all. Comfort, support, moisture wicking fabric, back control, front closure and pretty.

What is your closure of choice? Post it below.

Does your Plus Size Bra fit properly?

http://www.plussizebrasandpanties.com/

 A properly fitting plus size bra is such a difficult task. So many women wear an ill fitting bra and don’t even know it. Most also tend to wear the same size their entire life. Many changes over a lifetime change a woman’s bra size.

This short checklist will tell you if you are wearing the correct bra.

• The center front of the bra is sitting close to, or right against the breast bone.
• The band around your ribcage sits parallel to the floor. It is snug, comfortable and does not ride up.
• The straps do not dig into your shoulder and you can easily run your finger along under the strap.
• The cups sit smoothly.

Most women believe that the straps support the bra. This is not the case. The majority of the support comes from the band. The band holds the bra in place. Make sure the bra fits you when it is closed to the largest setting of hooks. This will give you 2 more hooks to tighten the bra as the fabric relaxes when the bra ages.

It is easy to know if the band is too small as it will be tight and uncomfortable. Buy a larger band size.

It is not as easy to recognize that the band is too large. The most common problem is the band riding up. This is because it is not tight enough so the weight of the breasts fall forward pulling the band up in the back. This is a common problem for Plus Size Women. The reaction is to tighten the straps and then they really dig in. Another sign is the breasts fall out under the bra. Buy a smaller band size.

You must also remember that a larger band size will have a larger cup even if it is the same cup size. You may need to change your cup size as well. It is a size grading feature that changes the cup size as you grade up to larger sizes. Although a 34C and a 42C are both C cups the 42C cup will be much larger.

It takes a bit of effort to find the correct bra but well worth the work.
