3. Fasten your bra at the loosest hook, so that you can
tighten it as it ages and the elastic starts to wear. Never over
wear your bra or it will lose its elasticity and form -- just like
shoes. It's recommended to alternate between two bras in a week,
washing after three to four uses.
4. Gently scoop the full weight of your breasts into the
cup.
5. For the most comfortable fit, adjust the bra straps. They
shouldn't dig into or slip off of your shoulders.
Care for your bras
To make your bras last longer, hand-wash them in cold water
using a gentle detergent and leave them to air-dry. If you
machine-wash your bras, use a lingerie bag and the delicate cycle.
In-between sizes?

Try a minimizer

Lycra or Spandex panels, but still supports C and D cups. Always
look for a thick underwire and wide straps.
