You should be remeasured yearly with a professional bra fitter because your body, weight and shape can change over time. Even small fluctuations in weight can make a difference in sizing or type of bra . Aging and recovery from different types of surgery may alter your size and your comfort needs.

Correct band and strap placement can help prevent shoulder, neck, and back strain. Hormonal shifts and menopause may also influence size and fit. Also, many insurance providers allow coverage for new pocketed bras on an annual basis.

* Always consult your physician
