MUST READ! How A Woman's Body Ages
Here's a very interesting and informative article from WWW.WACOAL.PH website. MUST READ!
BE BODY BEAUTIFUL AT ANY AGE
At any age, a woman’s body is constantly changing. But what matters is, her spirit cannot be stopped. What’s important is how she exudes charm as she welcomes discoveries. What defines her is her boldness to stand out when the going gets tough. What counts is her confidence to surpass her limits to best shape her life. At any age, a woman knows what it takes to be beautiful inside and out.
Your Body Changes as you Grow Older
At Wacoal’s Human Science Research Center, we’ve studied the human body, paying special attention to the characteristics intrinsic to each age level and tracking the changes that occur as a woman ages.
We’ve discovered that there are constant changes in body shape brought about by age. This fixed rule can be drawn in a spiral. Thus, we call this “Spiral Ageing”.

The Spiral Ageing Pattern
TEEN’S SPIRAL POINT
Changes towards an adult body start.
19-23 year old Body Stage
Heading towards maturity, the body’s shape starts to change.20's SPIRAL POINT
Transformation to an adult woman’s body completes.
Teen’s Spiral Point
27-36 year old Body Stage
Extra subcutaneous fat is deposited in the body, gradually changing the body’s shape.
30’S SPIRAL POINT
Sudden weight gain begins. Body shape starts to drastically change.
40-46 year old Body Stage
The upper half of the body is visibly growing larger than the lower half.
As women notice their bodies changing, they begin to take control
attempting to prevent the transformation, or reshaping and
strengthening their bodies with diet and exercise.
Check Your Body’s Changes
Your body matures with age and is constantly changing due to various factors such as health and growth. It is important to bear in mind how these changes reflect upon your body shape and size, and the undergarments that best suit you. The diagram below shows how a woman’s figure changes with age.

How Breasts and Hips Age
For women, breasts and hips are crucial to a beautiful bodyline. As a woman ages, she will notice that her breasts and hips change in 3 stages:

Why Our Breasts Change With Age
Hormonal changes that occur as we age cause the mammary glands to degenerate, and the fat to increase. This makes the breasts soften.
Motion, caused by the breasts’ heaviness and
everyday movement causes the Cooper’s Ligaments to lose their elasticity.
The skin begins to lose its firmness and softness, decreasing its support of the breasts. This is what makes breasts begin
to sag.
Do you choose you bra by size alone?
Women in their 20s and 40s with the same bra size try on bras made for women in their 20’s.*
Brassiere made for women in their 20’s, worn by a woman in her 20’s.
The same bra worn by a woman in her 40’s.
Brassiere made for women in their 40’s, worn by a woman in her 40’s.
*May differ individually.
It is very important to select a bra that not only fits in size but also corresponds to changes in shape and softness of breasts by aging.
Size is Important, Fitting is Crucial.
1. Don’t neglect the fitting process
2. Fit the brand and move around it.
3. Try 2 or 3 items on instead of just one.
4. Bring along the clothes that you want to wear over your new undergarments.
