“The Cut” – Certain cuts and styles of bras fit different body types. If your straps always slip, find one with center set straps. If you’re tall and lean, a long-line bra may work for you.

This article is prompted by my main computer crashing three times in three days (which has never happened to me before). By crashing, I mean the dreaded so called “Blue Screen of Death.” If you do not know what that is, that is a good thing. If you do, then you know exactly what that means.
