The assessment method, often represented in shorthand, is a self-screening technique used to evaluate the appropriateness of bra fit, specifically concerning breast tissue containment within the cup. It provides a quick, albeit subjective, indicator of whether a bra offers adequate coverage and support. The test involves placing a closed fist inside the bra cup after the bra is fastened; if the fist fits comfortably, it suggests the cup size may be too large.
Proper bra fit is important for comfort, support, and posture, and it can impact physical well-being. Using this method can assist individuals in identifying potential fit issues, empowering them to make more informed decisions about bra selection. While not a substitute for professional fitting, this self-assessment tool offers a convenient preliminary gauge. The concept has gained traction in online communities and lingerie retail, reflecting a growing emphasis on personalized fit and body awareness.
