Menopause marks a powerful transition in every woman’s life - one that can bring physical, emotional, and hormonal changes. While hot flushes and mood shifts often take the spotlight, one of the most common (yet least discussed) changes happens right in front of you: your breasts.
Understanding Breast Changes During Menopause
As oestrogen levels fluctuate and eventually decline, breast tissue and skin lose elasticity. You may notice your breasts feel softer, less full or have shifted in shape. Some women experience an increase in size due to hormonal changes or weight gain, while others find their breasts become smaller. Tenderness, swelling and changes in firmness are also completely normal.
These shifts mean that the bra size you’ve worn for years might suddenly feel different. Tighter, looser or just not quite right. A poorly fitting bra can lead to discomfort, posture issues and even skin irritation, especially when your body is already going through enough change.
Why Checking Your Bra Size Matters
Finding the right fit isn’t just about aesthetics - it’s about comfort, support and feeling confident in your changing body. During menopause, it’s a good idea to reassess your bra size regularly to make sure your underwear continues to work for you, not against you.
That’s where Nudea’s Fit Tape ® comes in.
