The common issues we see with badly fitting bras are:
- The band is too loose offering minimal support and shape.
- The bra is sitting very low on the torso.
- The bust is not encapsulated in the bra cups.
- Centre wire sits away from the breast bone.
- The bra is misshapen and stretched from ill-care.
- The cup of the bra is digging in to breast tissue.
- The bust is not lifted.
- The straps slip of shoulders.
- Back band is riding up.
- The bra straps are very thin straps, which aren't offering support.
Why a great fitting bra makes your boobs happy:
- The band is firm and sits under the breast.
- The bust is encapsulated in the bra cups.
- Centre wire sits flush to the breast bone.
- Bra wire sits behind breast tissue.
- The bust is separated and lifted.
- Straps have a two finger tension.
- The bra is worn on the loosest hook when new.
- The back band sits straight, right around the body and offers 80% + of the support.
Don't forget that when putting your bra on, it need a little jiggle in along with the scoop and swoop to ensure the bust sits perfectly within the bra.
