Top 8 Common Fit Problems

Fit Problem #1: The center front of my bra is not lying flat.
Solution: Try a larger cup size, as your breasts may be too big for the cup, causing the bra’s center to push away from your body.

Fit Problem #2: The underwire is digging into my breast.
Solution: You may need a larger cup size, or it is possible that the band is too tight. Also, please ensure that you are adjusting your breasts properly in the cup. Sometimes they need a little “encouragement” to sit in the cup correctly.

Fit Problem #3: My breasts are bulging over the top of the cup.
Solution: This means that your cup is too small.

Fit Problem #4: My bra cups are puckering at the top.
Solution: The cup is too big; try going down a size.

Fit Problem #5: My bra cups are baggy.
Solution: This probably means that your cup is too big. If, however, there is excess fabric where the cup meets the strap, but your cup fits smoothly everywhere else, then the problem could be that there is too much cup for your chest. Go for a bra style that has a shallower cup, like a balconette.

Fit Problem #6: The band of my bra is constantly riding up in the back. I’ve tried making the straps looser but it does not seem to work.
Solution: You have one of two problems. First, it is possible that your band is too big. Re-measure yourself and make sure that you are wearing the correct band size. The other problem may be that your bra is old and stretched out—time to buy a new bra in your correct size!

Fit Problem #7: The straps of my bra are digging into my shoulders.
Solution: This means that your straps are doing too much work! Remember, the band of your bra is where you should be getting most of your support. You probably need to go down a band size. Alternately, your straps could be too loose. Try tightening them slightly, but remember that your band should be even around your body. If your band is riding up in the back after you tighten your straps, then you are wearing a band size that is too large.

Fit Problem #8: My straps are constantly falling off my shoulders.
Solution: Your problem may simply be that your straps are not adjusted correctly. This could also be a sign that your bra is old and that your straps are too stretched out. Or you may just have narrow shoulders—if that’s the case, look for a bra that has convertible straps.
