Problems solved by technology

The poor fitness of the brassiere can dramatically reduce the function of the bra and decrease the performance that the brassiere was originally designed for.
More seriously, the incorrect size of bra may cause serious pain, discomfort, or even deforming the original shape of the breasts to an unwanted shape.
One example is that the poor fitted bra may shift the supporting force of bra from the chest band to the shoulder straps, so that the weight of the breasts will mainly load on the shoulder or the neck to cause the neck joint injury.
The breast weight carried by the shoulder rather than the chest band may also result in the contribution of back pain and/or shoulder pain.
However, a significant number of women are having troubles of finding a correct size bra.
The rough standard of the current brassiere is unable to accurately fit the individual sizes and contours of wears' breasts.
One of the most common problems is that most women's breasts are asymmetrical.
In this case, the existing brassies are only possible to fit one of the breasts of the wearer.
Therefore, the bra wearer, especially for the female wearer having the asymmetrical breasts
