SPIKKER! KUIDAS OSTA VEEBIST RINNAHOIDJAT?
In 2020, the world moved at full speed toward digitalization. The coronavirus prompted even those distant from technology to make their first purchases from online stores. Even lingerie was purchased from online stores last year many times more than in previous years.
In the BonBon Lingerie e-store, buying lingerie is just a matter of a few clicks, and the lingerie reaches the client's preferred parcel locker within just a couple of days. In addition, shipping is free for orders over €75, and all orders can be returned for free within 14 days.
However, we occasionally encounter questions about buying a bra online. Below you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions.
How to choose the right bra size?
Studies have shown that about 80% of women wear a bra of the wrong size. Estonian women with an average bust are often of the opinion that 75B is a universal size that fits us all. In fact, of course, this is not true. Since a woman's body is in constant change, every woman should always measure her body before buying a new bra, regardless of whether the lingerie is bought from a physical store or an online store. A bra in the wrong size not only looks bad, but is also dangerous to your health.
Taking the right measurement for a bra is not complicated at all! Once you have found the right size, choosing underwear from an online store also becomes incredibly easy. So how do you actually do it?
To begin, find a measuring tape!
1. Measure your chest circumference under the breasts, i.e., at the spot where the bra ends. If possible, ask someone for help, because you get the most accurate result when your arms are hanging freely and you are relaxed. Make sure that the measuring tape is positioned at the same height both in the front and in the back.

EXAMPLE
If your measurement under the breasts is 77cm and over the breasts is 92cm, then a bra in size 75C will fit you best.
At the same time, it is worth knowing that bras in different sizes can be equal in volume. Thus, sizes 70C, 75B, and 80A may all fit you. Which one of these is the best depends on the specific model. To determine the best fit, you should go to the store to try on the desired bra model. If it is not possible to do so and the lingerie ordered from the e-store simply does not fit, that is not a problem either - all products ordered from the BonBon Lingerie e-store can be returned for free.
DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know that the bra cup and band size are related to each other? This means that as the bra band length increases, the cup size decreases at the same time, and when the cup increases, the band becomes shorter.
Which model to choose?
If the product selection makes your head spin, narrow down your choices based on your body type. To do this, you need to know whether you are a pear, apple, rectangle, inverted triangle, or hourglass.

|
Inverted triangle Shoulders are wider than hips, voluminous bust, narrow waist, small buttocks, thin legs. Celebrities with this body type include Cameron Diaz, Demi Moore, and Angelina Jolie.
Your charms are enhanced by lingerie that creates balance between a wider upper part and a narrower lower part. Bra tops and bodysuits suit you very well, and for these, opt for a V-neck (e.g., Glory open bodysuit, Coco Heart bodysuit, Echo bodysuit). When choosing a bra, make sure that it offers sufficient support and that the bust is at a natural height; this way, the attention is drawn to your beautiful slim waist. Among bras, for example, Jewel underwired bra and Stardust underwired bra are well-suited for you. |

|
Rectangle Waist, hips, and shoulders are equally narrow, athletic, slim build. Celebrities with this body type include Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, Keira Knightley.
Your secret weapon is lingerie that creates curves and invites you to observe different body parts. To highlight your body's assets, all items with eye-catching details are suitable, especially bras that have specially decorated shoulder straps or a mind-blowing color combination. Among bras, all bras that emphasize the chest area are suitable for you, such as Push-Up and triangle. The detail-rich Black Orchid triangle bra, sewn from sexy mesh fabric, ensures a good fit and comfort. The Harmony push-up bra charms with its color and luxurious lace. |

Apple Voluminous bust, rounder waist, narrow hips, thin legs. Celebrities with this body type include Rebel Wilson, Dame Judi Dench, Melissa McCarthy.
Sinu naturaalselt kurvikat keha kaunistab kõige paremini selline pesu, mis jätab mulje pikemast kehast. Selle tulemuse saavutad kõige paremini V-kaelusega toppide ja bodidega (nt. Glory avatud bodi, Coco Heart bodi, Echo bodi). Tugikaartega rinnahoidjad tagavad hea toetuse, mis on eriti vajalik suuremale rinnale. Pitsilised ja läbipaistvad rinnahoidjad jätavad välimuse õrnaks ja loomulikuks. Suuremale büstile on rinnahoidjatest parim valik tugikaartega. Tõeliselt hästi toetava ja luksusliku tugikaartega rinnahoidja leiad Stardust või Hannah kollektsioonidest. Stardust tugikaartega rinnahoidja pakub Sulle lisaks toele ka õrnust ja salapära. Vältima peaks Push-Up või pehmendustega rinnahoidjaid, samuti õlapaelteta mudeleid - kõike, mis suurt rinda veelgi suuremaks teeb. |
 |
Pirn Väike või ka suur büst, sale piht, puusad on laiemad kui õlad, ümarad tuharad. Kuulsustest on sellise kehatüübiga nt Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Love Hewitt ja Christina Aguilera.
Sinu keha muudab eriti kütkestavaks pesu, mis püüab tähelepanu üleval pool ning ei rõhuta puusi. Kaval moodus selleks on valida silmatorkavate detailidega rinnahoidja. Samuti võid lisada keha ülaosasse volüümi satsidega. Head valikud on näiteks Angelina push-up, Nixie tugikaartega rinnahoidja, Luna avatud rinnahoidja ja Shades kolmnurk-rinnahoidja. Kui Sul juhtub siiski olema lopsakam rind, siis on tähtis, et rinnahoidja toetaks Su rinda, on õiges suuruses ning ei ole suurendava efektiga. |

Sihvakas liivakell Riided ülalpool ja allpool vöökohta on samas suuruses, selgelt eristuv büst ja talje, volüümikad tuharad, kurvikad puusad. Kuulsustest on sellise kehatüübiga nt Rihanna, Scarlett Johansson ja Jennifer Lawrence.
Sul on väga naiselik kehatüüp, mille riietamisel puuduvad karmid reeglid. Sinu kauni figuuri rõhutamiseks sobivad kõik kehakontuure järgivad pesuesemed, eriti hästi aga bodid. Väiksema büsti korral sobivad Sulle kõige paremini Push-Up rinnahoidjad. Suurema büsti korral väldi Push-Up efektiga rinnahoidjaid. |
|
|
Kurvikas liivakell Volüümika rinna tõttu kannad ülalpool suuremat suurusnumbrit kui pükste osas, peenike piht, ümarad tuharad, ümarad puusad. Kuulsustest on sellise kehatüübiga nt Beyonce, Christina Hendricks ja Marilyn Monroe.
Sinu ihaldusväärset keha kaunistab veelgi pesu, mis toob esile Sinu kauni talje. Tähtis on, et rinnahoidja oleks hästi toetav. Sulle sobib imeliselt kehakontuure järgiv pesu, kuid väldi volange ja satse kehakumeruste juures (tuharad, puusad, rind). Pika ülakeha puhul võid märgata, et bodid ei paku Sulle sellist mugavust, mida sooviksid. |

Rinnahoidja sobivuse check-list
Kui veebist tellitud pesu kohale jõuab, veendu enne siltide eemaldamist selle sobivuses:
1. Kas rinnahoidjavöö on ees ja taga ühel kõrgusel?
Rinnahoidjavöö peab asuma nii ees kui taga samal sirgel ehk horisontaalselt samal kõrgusel.
2. Kas Sinu rinnad vajuvad üle rinnahoidja korvi äärte?
The underwire of the bra must sit nicely around the breast. If part of the breast bulges out from the sides or the top of the cup, the cup size is too small, resulting in a so-called double-breast effect.
3. Is the bra cup fabric wrinkled or are the cups sagging?
Then you have chosen a bra with a cup size that is too large.
4. Is the bra band too loose?
The bra band must fit snugly around the body. If you can pull the band away from your back by more than 5 cm, you are wearing a bra that is too big.
5. Does the bra leave marks on the skin?
If you have marks on your skin after wearing the bra, the band size has been too small.
6. Do the shoulder straps hurt?
If the shoulder straps hurt, you can try adjusting them, but if that doesn't yield the desired result, the cause may also be a cup or band that is too small. We recommend first increasing the cup size, and if that doesn't help, choosing a longer bra band.
7. Does the bra pinch the underarm?
This is a sign that you need a bra with a larger cup.
8. Is the underwire poking out of the bra cup fabric?
This happens when you have a bra with a cup size that is too small.
9. Does the center gore of the bra sit away from the body?
If the fabric between the breasts is not against the skin, the cup size is too small.
10. Do you have to adjust the bra throughout the day?
A correctly sized bra will not shift during the day, even if you have a very active lifestyle.
Finally, ask yourself if this lingerie fits well under the clothes you like to wear and if it fills you with positivity and self-confidence?
If your answers to all the questions above are ‘yes’, then you can safely remove the tags from the lingerie and go out to conquer the world!
Did I choose a durable product?
Many people still have a perception from the Soviet era that products containing "polyamide" are low quality. That is not actually the case. It is wiser to try the product before writing it off. You can best verify the quality of bra materials by touching the products yourself – the lace must be pleasant and soft, and it must definitely not cause itching on the skin. The material must be breathable and protect the skin from overheating. In any case, washing it correctly – by hand – will make the bra more durable!
