Finding your band size:

Loosen  your bra straps and bring your bra down to just above the small of your back. Your band should fit comfortably but snugly when hooked on the outermost hook.  To know that your band fits, run one or two fingers between the band and your back.  If you can barely fit one, it is too small.  If you can fit more it is too big. A snug, lower fitting  band will alleviate the pressure on your straps by providing a source of support from below the breasts.

Wearing your bra lower on your back will help eliminate “back bulge” and create a smoother silhouette.  Buying a bra with a large back band to eliminate bulge will only cause your band to ride up creating a lumpy effect in the back and a saggy effect in the front!

 Tip: Fasten your bra on the loosest hook.  As the elastic stretches  you will be able to adjust the size by

 moving to the middle hook and then to the innermost hook to extend the life of your bra.

 Finding your cup size:

The cup fits correctly when  the center of the bra is tacking (laying flat) against your sternum and separating your breasts. Your breasts should completely fill the cups, there should be no “double boob” or gapping between the cup and your body.

Always remember that the cup size is dependent on the band size. As a band gets bigger, so does its cup.  For example a 34B cup is BIGGER than a 32B cup and SMALLER than a 36B cup.   If you change your band size, usually you must also change your cup size.

 Tip: Remember, don’t be intimidated to try new band and cup combinations.

 Focus on the fit and not on numbers and letters!

 Problem:   The straps on your 36B bra are always slipping off of your shoulders and your band keeps riding up in the back.

 Solution:  Try a 34C.  Remember, go DOWN in the band and UP in the cup.  A secure band will help keep your straps in place. 

 Problem: Your bra sits off of your sternum or your breasts are being squeezed together in the cup.

 Solution: Your cup is probably too small. Try going up a cup size (or sometimes two!) but do not change the band size.

 Problem:  There is space or “gapping” between the cup and your breasts.

Solution: Try a smaller cup size or a bra with padding  which will lift the breast and fill out the top of the cup.

 Problem: You have large breasts and are feeling unsupported by your bras.

 Solution: Try going down in the band (sometimes two sizes if necessary).  If you’ve been wearing a 34D try a 32DD (also known as a 32E).  A tight band will lift and support your breasts from below taking the pressure off of your shoulders. 

 Problem:  You like how the cups on your bras fit but the band is too tight.

 Solution:  Try going UP a band size and DOWN a cup size.  For example switch from a 34D to a 36C.
