HealthTraditional bras are breast focussed and fix to the chest wall, tightening bra straps pulls the shoulders down and underwires push into the ribs. This creates an imbalance in posture, which then sets up a domino effect throughout the body, resulting in headaches, neck, shoulder and back pain.
Conventional bras are designed to compress and encapsulate breast tissue, exposing the breast to negative pressure. Recent research suggests that wearing inappropriately styled bras may actually increase the amount of pain experienced by women.
Optifit has been specifically designed to eliminate any such negative pressure therefore greatly reducing the possible instance of breast pain.
Conventional bras push in against the chest wall pressing the skin of the breast onto the skin of the chest which often results in irritation and fungal infection.
Optifit has been, specifically, designed to work the opposite way to a conventional bra.
The back sits low and the cups elevate the breasts away from the chest wall...similar to holding them up with your hands...eliminating skin-on-skin contact.
Conventional bras push in against the diaphragm...you tighten your straps to try to lift the front...which shortens the back and pulls your shoulders and your head down, closing your chest and shortening your abdominal cavity...This downward pressure can compromise digestion. Optifit straps push and rotate your shoulders back, opening your chest and lengthening your abdominals, lifting the downward pressure away...effectively, ’un-kinking’ the pipework.
MaternityMaintains natural breast position preventing overstretching of the suspensory ligament, reducing the risk of stretch marks.
Aids posture to relieve pressure on the diaphragm and balance the pelvis.
Holds the breast in the correct position on the chest wall, effectively reducing the chance of blocked milk ducts and the development of mastitis, by promoting a smoother milk flow.

Optifit Core Balance © is the first bio-mechanically compatible garment providing optimum lift, shape and performance.
The back focussed cantilever design of Optifit, encourages optimal posture and spinal alignment. The pelvis is pulled forward and the upper body is elevated which lengthens the abdomianal cavity...the core muscles are stabilised and the correct muscles are ready to engage.
Optifit is designed to stabilize the breast and elevate the upper body by pushing the shoulders back which opens the chest maximising lung function.
SurgeryAn Optifit bra is an essential element of ongoing post-operative care. Its function and effect is very different from the post-op bras currently available. It will hold your breast in its optimum position without displacing or distorting the breast tissue. This will give stability as your breast adapts to the implant, and in doing so, will also minimise the risk of implant rotation.
The Optifit system has been designed to accommodate any breast volume on any body frame and has been clinically proven to provide breast uplift and a balanced posture relieving symptoms such as pain intensity and frequency, back stiffness and discomfort, activity levels and neck disability.
You may not need a breast reduction, however, if you do decide that surgery is your best option, do consider wearing an Optifit bra as you recuperate.
