Bra Fit Guide
1
loose band
My band moves up my back when I raise my arms.
smaller or tighter band
Your band should ideally fit firmly on the center hook when new. Try adjusting your band or try a style with a smaller band size. Your band should rest just below your shoulder blades and should have room for two fingers between your band and side rib cage, with no more than an inch of stretch.
2
double bust
The top of my bra cup is cutting into my breast creating lumps.
greater coverage
If your bra cups are tight and your bust is spilling over, increase your cup size or choose a style with greater coverage.
3
digging straps
My straps dig into my shoulders.
loosen straps
Loosen your straps until you are able to fit a finger between your shoulder and the strap, keeping the band parallel to the floor.
4
gaping
My bra gapes instead of lying flat against my chest.
larger cups
The bottom of the center panel on your bra should lie flat against your sternum. Gapping means that the cups are too small.
5
uneven bust
One cup fits fine, bit the other cup puckers.
padding or stretch fabric
Almost all women have one breast that is larger than the other. Choose a bra made with stretch fabric or foam cups to balance the size difference.
6
falling straps
My straps constantly fall off my shoulders.
tighten straps
Your straps are not adjusted properly or have lost their elasticity over time. Adjust your straps to make them tighter or try a racerback style if your shoulders are naturally sloped.
7
underwire poking
My underwire bra digs in and pokes me.
fuller cup size
Try increasing your cup size or try a different style bra with fuller cups. Also, check to make sure your band and straps are tight enough to provide the support you need.
8
wrinkled cups
My bra cups wrinkle.
smaller cup
For a smoother appearance, decrease your cup size.
