How Should My Bra Fit?
A well-fitting bra is key to all-day comfort and support. Here are the signs to look for:
Band
The band should sit snugly and level around your ribcage, providing most of the support. It shouldn’t ride up your back or feel too loose, and you should be able to slide two fingers underneath it comfortably.
Cups
Your breasts should sit fully in the cups without spilling over the edges or leaving gaps. The fabric should lay flat and smooth, with no wrinkling or bulging for a seamless look and feel.
Straps
The straps should rest comfortably on your shoulders without digging in or slipping off. If they dig in, it’s often a sign that the band is too loose and isn’t providing enough support. Adjusting the straps can help achieve a better balance.
Center Gore
The center panel (where the cups meet) should lie flat against your chest. If it lifts away or doesn’t rest comfortably, the cup size might be too small and could require adjusting.
Overall Comfort
A properly fitting bra should feel supportive, secure, and comfortable throughout the day. You shouldn’t experience any pinching, digging, or discomfort, and every part of the bra should feel like it fits naturally to your body.
