Finding your correct bra size
Are you among the 70% or so of women wearing a poorly-fitting bra? If the straps leave a red mark on your shoulders, or the back isn't quite level with the front, or your breasts "overflow" around the edges of the cups, or there is a gap between the front of the bra and your breastbone, then you are probably wearing the wrong size or shape. Go to Breast Talk to find out about the different ways to check your size, including details of a specially-developed bust-measuring tape.

Underwear tips for thrush sufferers
Vaginal thrush is an infection caused by a yeast called Candida. This organism thrives in warm, damp, airless environments, which is why the vagina is vulnerable. A bout of thrush isn't uncommon and can normally be treated effectively. But if you are prone to frequent thrush infection, then you can improve your chances of avoiding it by your choice of underwear.

Avoid underwear that does not "breathe", such as nylon. Cotton underwear is best.

Avoid clothes that are fitted around your crotch, such as very tight jeans. Dresses and skirts, with cotton knickers (or no knickers at all if you dare and it isn't too chilly!) are ideal.

Wear stockings instead of tights.

You can find out much more about vaginal thrush, its causes and prevention, on the PatientUK website.
