Common Bra Problems and Solutions
"I've had this bra since high school and it still fits me."
Even the best bra eventually wears out. If it's over a year old or the materials are stretched out, it probably isn't supporting you like it used to. Our in-store questionnaire helps you quickly find your size again.
"I think it's just a little bit of fat under my armpits."
Armpit "bulge" can come from excess breast tissue: try a smaller band size and a larger cup size, or an equivalent size.
"My bra straps hurt!"
If the straps are digging in, it means they are compensating for a lack of support: the cups and band should be doing the work. Try a sister size for a better fit.
"My bra band is riding up."
If the back rides up, the band is too big. Go down one band size and up one cup size to maintain the same volume.
"My bra back is riding up."
If the back rides up, the band is too big. Go down one band size and up one cup size to maintain the same volume.
"I can never find the right cup size, so I get a DD... and sometimes I wear two bras."
If you have to close a new bra on the tightest hook, it will wear out more quickly. An equivalent size with a smaller band and a larger cup will allow you to start on the widest hook.
