The following are tips & hints that will hopefully be simple, understable, and easy to apply,practicably. I am a Lifetime Lover of Large Breasted Women,yet these tips can be used by any woman;regardless of Cup size.
First; ensure U perform your monthly Breast exam. this is your first line of defense to protect your Breast. unless you've had previous issues,ensure you get a Mammogram,every 1 to 2 years after age 40.
A majority of Breast issues occur when women wear the improper size bra.A proper bar fitting is Crucial. there should be shops in just about every area that provide bra fittings;typically ,free of charge. I'VE taken ladies to a local Lane Bryant.
to perform your own fitting;make sure you purchase a Seamstress tape measure. they cost about $3 to $5. they are available at Wal-Mart.
measure under the breast with the tape measure.if the whole number is a 1/4",then measure down to the next whole number.if the number is at a 1/2",then go up to the next whole number.
if your measurement for your band is below 28",then add 3". if your measurement is 28" and above,then add 5" to get your correct band size.
for Cup size;use the tape measure to measure around the fullest part of the bust.same applies as above;1/4" down or 1/2" go the next whole number up.
next,deduct your Band size measurement from your Cup size measurement.the difference will equal your cup size; 1"=A, 2"=B,3"=C,4"=D,etc.
for accuracy;bend over at the waste,make sure your back is parallel to the floor,then measure the fullest part of the bust.don't have to breathe in like your suppose to above;forgot to mention that.then do the same by deducting the Cup size from your Band Size.a helpful tool that is free is brasizecalculator.net
Large Breasted Women pay pricey amounts for there bras as there not as readily available as common,petite sizes. proper care is crucial,to get your moneys worth.
1)use a lingerie bag or a netted laundry bag .this prevents the bras from getting tangled.also ensure to hook the eyelets as to prevent the bras from getting caught on anything in the washer.
2)if available,use the handwash or delicate cycle on your washer.place the water temp. at the cold setting.hot water,wears down the bra material and causes shrinkage. if a delicate/handwash cycle is not available,it's best to wash your bras by hand.
3)start delicate cycle;do not add detergent,but add a 1/2 cup of white vinegar to the cycle.let agitate for a few minutes then stop cycle.let bras soak for about 15 minutes.white vinegar whitens without the harshness and residue of bleach and also kills bacteria and eliminates odors.when 15 minutes are done then continue wash cycle. when completed;run another rinse cycle to be sure you have got all the vinegar out of your wash load. start the delicate cycle again;then add a 1/2 cup baking soda,good for odors,brightening along with your delicate detergent such as Woolite or something comparable such as shampoo or hypo allergenic(sensitive skin) dish soap(not as harsh as a typical laundry detergent but will suffice), if Woolite is not available.let wash cycle complete then run a last rinse cycle to get all the baking soda out of your bras.
4)DO not Use a Dryer for your Bras. this literally destroys them.AIR DRY ONLY!
Heat rash under Large Breast:;
under certain conditions,moist,warm conditions,a heat rash can develop. the moisture due to perspiration,heat & humid enviroment,along with a Poor Fitting Bra,can lead to a rash similar to that of a yeast infection.
To minimize or avoid acquiring a rash;try the following:
after showering;make sure you pat dry under the breast well.you want to pat as opposed to wipe to minimize stripping the body of its natural oils.ensure there completely dry before continuing.
Next;apply a light coat of baby powder or baking soda under the breast. I caution against using cornstarch! some said it has worked wonders;others have said that it actually feeds the infection.best to avoid cornstarch;stick to the baby powder or baking soda(also eliminates odors).
Some women have stated they place extra material under the breast also,to help keep that area dry.I'm assuming something along the lines of a handkerchief or maybe a cut piece of an Ace Bandage(my guess is that this material might be a better absorbent for moisture).let me know if this works. then continue on as usual.
For those that have already got the rash;try the following.
wash as above;then add either one of the following,Monistat vaginal cream has been said to be the best at curing such a rash;again it's similar to a yeast infection under the breast.a diaper rash cream that contains Zinc Oxide will also help to clear up the rash under the breast and its also safe enough to use on babys.Antifungal creams are also available.I'd try the first two methods first. If these don't help or if it worsens;consult a Physician or Dermatologist.Also,ensure you check your blood sugar levels. High blood sugar levels can also cause infection that breeds infection.make sure your blood sugar levels are typically between 100 to120 this is considered about normal.
Wearing a Cotton Bra can also help in very high temperatures.the Cotton fabric allows better Air Circulation as opposed to other materials.
Improper Bra Fit can also cause rash;a proper bra fit is very important.
if the bra is loose;can cause rubbing. a bra that is to tight can also cause rash also.if you have a proper sized bra and still have some rubbing or chafing;try the following.most products listed below were for use by both men and women.some offered a female version.most of the the following are easy to use,and non staining,with some as easily removed as using soap and water.check manufactures instructions.
Sportshield(made for athletes)considered to be the best available. prevents rubbing and chafing in virtually all parts of the body.it's available on line for about $12.should be available in most sporting goods stores also.very slick with little odor.apply between bra the skin that it comes in contact with.should feel and see a Huge difference.
Bodyglide(was basically second best) is similar as above but this one offers a Bodyglide for Her stick.online it was running about $8.
Mission 5 hour anti chafe cream or stick; was another that got good reviews.same as above and it ran $8 to $10.this ones claim to fame was that it had a higher melting point. no one complained about the aboves melting point or efficacy,but this is really the only supposed difference.
For Maximum Rash or Chafing;try the following:
EVERSTRIDE(similar to above mentioned)this is the product you want to use if you have an Extreme rash.aside from the Anti-friction,Anti-Chafing benefits the above can help with. this product claims it can Help Restore,Dry,Cracked,Chaffed skin;even to the point of Saddle sores and Blistering.this product claims it is safe enough for pregnant women to use.
Petroleum Jelly;not as effective as above,but can get some benefit.use Caution as it is difficult to wash from clothing and not as effective as the other Anti -Friction,Chafing products. basically a temporary fix.
In Conclusion;These are ONLY Tips that may Hopefully Help.This is in NO Way sought to Repalce Professional Advice.
Things to remember;
1)Proper Bra Fitting is CRITICAL.
2)Perform Breast Health Exams when Prescribed.As well as taking care of your overall Health Regularly.
3)Take steps to Avoid getting a Heat Rash/Yeast Infection.
4)If Home Remedies don't work;SEEK Professional Help IMMEDIATELY!
5)Maintain Your PRICEY Bras by Caring for them Correctly.
6)Some of the Products mentioned above were what I found to be the best or well known.Do Your OWN research and see what's Best for YOU!
Alot of the above mentioned issues were either brought up here or else where.MY Love of Large BREASTED Women;inspired Me to compile the best,most useful information available(on the web) without having to search this site,that site. regarding these subjects;in a simple,easy to use format. Not only Just for them,but for all women.
