Yes, a new bra can potentially cause breast pain if it does not fit properly. It is important to ensure that the band of the bra is snug and parallel to the ground, while also making sure that the straps are not digging into your shoulders. The cups should fully contain your breasts without causing any spillage or compression. If any of these factors are not met, it can lead to discomfort and even pain in your breasts.
It is crucial to understand that every woman’s body is unique, and what may work for one person may not necessarily work for another.

By investing in a well-fitted bra, you are taking proactive steps towards maintaining good breast health and overall physical comfort. Once you have found the right fit with our assistance, be sure to pay attention to any signs of discomfort or changes in how your bra feels over time as this may indicate when it’s time for a new fitting appointment.
