Specialty Bras FAQs

What are specialty bras? 

Specialty bras encompass a range of designs tailored to address specific needs and preferences beyond the basics of everyday bras. 

For example, sports bras offer enhanced support during physical activities, while nursing bras facilitate convenient breastfeeding for new mothers. Adhesive bras suit backless or strapless outfits, while bralettes provide a comfortable and stylish alternative. 

With varied styles and functions, specialty bras aim to meet the diverse requirements of individuals, ensuring comfort, support, and style for different occasions and stages of life.

How should specialty bras for women fit? 

Specialty bras for women should fit snugly but not too tight to ensure both comfort and proper support. Here are some additional tips:

• The band should sit parallel to the ground without riding up, providing a secure base. 
• The underwire, if present, should encase the breasts fully, lying flat against the ribcage without digging in. 
• The cups should accommodate the breast tissue without spillage or gaps, ensuring a smooth silhouette. 
• The straps should be adjusted to a length that provides support without causing indentations on the shoulders.

To achieve the best fit, we recommend getting professionally measured. Soma’s bra-fitting service allows women to consult fit experts and receive personalized advice and recommendations.
