Answer
Ill-fitting bras are uncomfortable, but I don't believe they damage breasts. I have had material wear down and been stabbed by underwires a few times, and that hurts. No permanent damage though.

Experienced Girls: Bra Help?!?

I have a lot of questions so u can just copy and paste them so you don't have 2 type all this again
1. I am a little embarrassed about getting measured at a store ( which I will get over) but how do you ask them to measure you?
2. What bra do you think is best ( push up, Demi, lightly lined, add 2 cups, bustier bra etc.)
3. What color bras should I get?
4. Where do you get your bras from?
5. Should I ask to try on a bra? Will the store let me?
6. I've tried measuring myself at home but over the past couple months ( about 3 I think...) I've gotten a 34aa then a 34a but I'm pretty sure I'm a 34B, should I get measured anyway?
7. I feel awkward going alone but I have no one to bring! How do I try to look older and less... Awkward???
8. Should I get a strapless bra?
9. How many bras should I start with?
10. What kind of bra do you like best?
11. This is the last one I promise lol but has anyone ever tried/worn a sports bra with cups?
Sorry if there are spelling errors thank u
Answer
1. Many stores measure wrong. For instance, Victoria's Secret will measure OVER the bust to get the band size, which makes no sense as you wear your band underneath. Measure yourself first and then go to a small boutique rather than a mall store, just so you know when something is off (if your underbust is 28 and they hand you a 34 band, you KNOW something is wrong.)
2. I personally like moulded cup bras, but soft cup bras are always good too. Moulded cup bras give a very round appearance under clothing.
3. Get one to match your skin color, one black, and one white at the very least. Those are the basics.
4. I get my bras online since I'm a 30E/F and no place in my city sells that size. And no, my breasts aren't even that big.
5. Lingerie stores should always let you try on bras.
6. This guide is the best I've seen: http://www.reddit.com/r/ABraThatFits/wiki/fit_guide
They take several measurements rather than two (bust and underbust) in order to assess other factors, such as firm VS soft breast tissue, shallow VS projected breasts, et cetera.
7. Fitters see tons of women all the time, don't worry about it. Some fitters even see men.
8. If you're planning on wearing something strapless or don't want bra straps to show, then yes.
9. 3-4 is a good start. Bras will last longer if you rotate them (not wearing the same two days in a row). The elastic wears out much faster if you wear them everyday. Make sure the bra fits on the loosest hook first, that way when the band starts to stretch, you can switch it to the tighter hooks.
10. I really like lacy bras as well as bras with colourful prints. Longline bras are gorgeous.
11. I haven't, but I heard they're much better than the "uniboob" ones. :P
