1. ALWAYS FASTEN BRAS ON THE LOOSEST HOOK
Bras can stretch up to 4 inches(!) when repeatedly worn and washed, so it’s really important to fasten a bra on the loosest hook, allowing you to tighten it with wear, ensuring you get the best support.
2. DON’T LET YOUR STRAPS TAKE THE SUPPORT
Bra straps only account for 20% of breast lift, the cup design and underband do the rest, so by tightening the straps to try and create more uplift, only creates more strain on the back.
So if you are constantly tightening the bra straps and feeling you’ve not got enough support and being left with strap marks – you need a smaller underband (e.g going from a 34 to a 32)If you are going down a band size, you need to go up a cup size to ensure the cups fit, (e.g 34C to a 32D).Don’t worry you are still the same cup size (a 34C & 32D are the same), you are just ensuring a better and more comfortable fit.
3. SMOOTH LINES
Your breast should not be bulging over the top or sides of the cups, if this is occurring you need to go up a cup size, if your cup is looking baggy with creases and wrinkles you need to go down a cup size. Always ensure the band is level the whole way around your body.
4. MOST COMMON PROBLEMS
Normally when women are wearing the wrong bra (and 80% of you are), they are usually wearing the wrong size underband, so to get the correct size most people just need to go down a back size and up a cup size.
Most bras are cross graded – this means that a 30DD has the same cup size as a 34C it’s just smaller in the back. So a cup size doesn’t really mean anything unless you know the underband size as well, for example a 30DD sounds big but the cup size is actually smaller than a 36C, so if you do find yourself having to get a bigger cup (and smaller underband) size don’t panic – you are still the same cup size but your bra will fit a lot better – you will get a better shape and be a lot more comfortable.
