Asked By:moover in Southaven, MS

Hello doctors, I wore a too tight bra that is probably .5 - 1 cup size smaller than what I am yesterday for a few hrs (not on purpose). It was a new bra that I got not knowing what my new bra size really is. It felt snug & comfortable at first, but after 2 - 3 hrs, it was causing discomfort & slight indentations on the lower half of my breasts towards the side. I took it off immediately, and today my breasts feel a little sore where the underwire was digging in. There is no visible marks.
