Finding bras that fit with TheBraGirl
The talk about bras is one shrouded in so much mystery. Not finding adequate breast support, especially in endowed women, has given rise to issues ranging from physical pains to emotional upheaval. Moreover, women are often overwhelmed with bra shopping due to the time it takes and the many they need to sort through with little guidance.

Its founder, Bukola Adedeji, is pas- sionate about helping women find the right bras for their bust and body types.
