Beauty of the Breasts

 

Supporting your Breasts

Breasts have no muscles of their own and are only held up by the pectoral muscles – the muscles of the chest on which they lie. Extra support can be given by wearing a good bra. Most of the support that a well-fitting bra gives to the breast should come from beneath and not from the straps. You can check this by slipping off the straps to see if the bra will stay in place without them. The back piece and the sides of a good bra should be in level with the front.
