breast care
Go from Saggin' to Braggin'
Essential Bodywear Cares...Not only about measuring and fitting you in the proper size and style for your body shape, but about women's breast care as well.
Every woman should take care of their own breast health by following these guidelines:
Did you know that a woman's breasts will change at least 6 times in her lifetime? When was the last time you were fitted?? That's why it is so important to contact an EBW Representative and get that professional bra fitting and only wear bras that fit you properly! Ill-fitting bras can cause backaches, headaches, fatigue, stress and other problems like poor circulation and blood flow.
Learn how to do a proper BREAST SELF-EXAM (BSE) and have a clinical breast examination at your annual medical checkup. Determine your risk factors and have a discussion regarding this with your doctor so that you can decide when to start having regular mammograms. Prevention and early detection are the best medicine!

Essential Bodywear wants to Naturalize, NOT Minimize...
For large-busted women, a well-fitting bra can do more than a minimizing bra. The key is to naturalize, NOT minimize. The compression that a minimizer bra will cause for breast tissue is unhealthy. It also creates a "uni-boob" appearance. Many women believe that by compressing their breasts they are disguising their size, but actually they are really adding width to their torso, which makes them look heavier. Did you know a woman's nipples should be half-way between her elbow and her shoulder? A woman is her smallest at her ribcage, so by lifting the breasts up and off the ribs and putting them half-way between the shoulders and elbows a woman will appear thinner and leaner. Large busted women need the lift and support and a proper supporting well fitting bra will do the trick! It will enhance a woman's natural silhouette and create a more balanced appearance. See for yourself!! So stop minimizing your assets and start naturalizing with one of our bras in our sensational collection.
Essential Bodywear believes an underwire is necessary for proper support...
All of our private label collection bras called Sensations contain an underwire. We do carry a fabulous Sports Bra and this is the only product currently available without a built in underwire in it. Underwires are necessary for proper breast support. Most women who avoid underwires have not found the proper fit for their body type. Inquire of your Essential Bodywear Representative which style may better suit your needs. Many times it is NOT THE UNDERWIRE AT FAULT for an uncomfortable fit - but the WRONG SIZE! We want to encourage that you at least try the product on and give it a chance. Many women are astounded at not only how great they look, but how truly comfortable the bra feels too! They never knew that was possible with an underwire! Our underwires are shaped like a smile, not like a horse shoe and with the proper fit and cup capacity the underwire should NOT dig into your tissue. 85% of American women are wearing the wrong size bra - are you one of them?? Contact a Rep and get a professional fit today!
Essential Bodywear wants to Start 'em Young...
It is so important for a woman's breast tissue health that she be fit and begin to wear a supportive proper fitting bra right from the start! EBW can offer all the young women you know the same opportunity to be measured and fit in the comforts of a home-party or individual appointment. Worried your daughter, niece, sister or friend is too embarrassed at her young age to want to be fit properly? EBW can help! We encourage young women to take charge of their breast health and receive a proper fitting as soon as they begin developing. A proper fitting bra will help ensure that their young breast tissue remains supported and will assist them in maintaining firmness and support as they age. Once gravity takes hold and breasts begin to lose their elasticity, caused by poor support, there is no recovery! Breast tissue cannot be improved once the damage is done - so EBW believes we have to start em' young and we want to help get those girls FIT! We are here to SUPPORT YOU! EBW does carry the band size 32 and this size is available in all our styles. Many young women have smaller rib-cages and our product line can accommodate for this. Ask your EBW Rep for more information.
