The frame and sides should lie smoothly without cutting into the flesh. The cups should also fit smoothly without wrinkling. If that happens, try a smaller cup size. If the cups are cutting into the breast tissue, opt for a larger cup size. The breasts should fill the cups without overflowing.
First, slip straps over the shoulders. Then lean forward to fill the cups fully. Fasten the hook on the middle clasp then stand up and adjust the straps.
A poor-fitting bra results in bad posture and can cause back problems and shoulder and neck pain. A poorly fitted under wire bra, for instance, can harm the breast tissue itself.
In many cases, the salespeople are not adequately trained in proper bra fitting. In other cases, research has shown that women will opt for “looking good” over the comfort that a proper fitting bra provides.
Twice a year. The average woman will wear six different bra sizes in her lifetime due to life changes such as puberty, pregnancy, menopause, weight fluctuations, the effects of the birth control pill and other transitions.
Women with larger breasts should wear under wire bras, as they help support the shoulders and back. It’s also important that the cup fits properly.
It is always advisable to wear a bra, as over time, gravity affects even smaller breasts. Wearing a bra prevents the breasts from spreading to the sides, which causes widening between them. Wearing a bra also makes clothes look and fit better.

To prolong the life of your bra, always wash with a mild detergent. We suggest Forever New Wash, as it is lycra friendly and will not make the fabric deteriorate. Washing the bra by hand is best for the garment’s longevity, but if you machine wash, close the back hooks and place the bra in a mesh bag. And never put the bra in the dryer. It’s a sure way to curtail the bra’s lifespan.
There should be room for two or three fingers between your bra band and your skin. That way it’s snug enough to give support and still be comfortable. If your band is too loose it’ll slide around and drive you crazy!
This can happen for many reasons. Your size may have changed, you may not have had the right size to begin with, or the bra may have stretched over time. No matter the cause, an ill-fitting bra is always uncomfortable.
If your straps are always falling down, even when tightened, then they have likely stretched out. If they dig in it could be because the bra has lost support in the band and cups so all the weight ends up in your shoulders.
You should start a new bra on the loosest hooks and as the band loosens you can move in to the middle or tightest hooks. All bands will become too loose eventually, so at this point you should get a new bra that fits you more snugly.
Are you fidgeting all day trying to keep you bra in place? Is the sexy lace number you bought starting to wear out? You deserve lingerie that makes you feel happy, comfortable and sexy.
