When determining if you need a bigger bra, it is essential to pay attention to the fit of your current bra. If you notice that the band is riding up at the back or feels too tight, this may indicate that the bra is too small. If there is spillage over the top or sides of the cups, or if the underwire is digging into your skin, these are also signs that you may need a larger size. If you have recently experienced weight gain or loss, it’s important to reassess your bra size as this can impact how well your current bras fit.
Misconception: Many people believe that only women with larger breasts need a bigger bra. The truth is that individuals of all bust sizes can require a larger bra due to factors such as weight fluctuations and changes in body composition.
Less-known fact: It’s important to re-evaluate your bra size every 6-12 months as our bodies change over time and wearing an ill-fitting bra can lead to discomfort and even health issues such as shoulder and back pain. Knowing this can help ensure that you always have bras that provide proper support and comfort.
Next step: I recommend scheduling a professional fitting with one of our certified fitters who will take precise measurements and guide you through finding the perfect fit for your unique shape. This will ensure that you are equipped with accurate knowledge about your correct size and style recommendations.
Remember: A properly fitting bra not only provides comfort but also enhances confidence.
