It is common for bras to fold at the bottom due to a few reasons. It may be because the band of your bra is too loose, causing it to ride up and fold underneath your bust. If the cup size is too small, your breast tissue may not be fully encapsulated within the cups, leading to folding and discomfort. Wearing an underwire bra that doesn’t fit properly can also cause folding at the bottom as it fails to provide adequate support.
To prevent this issue from reoccurring, I recommend getting professionally fitted for a new bra. A proper fitting will ensure that both the band and cup size are correct for your body, which will eliminate any folding or discomfort. Another solution could be trying different styles of bras such as full coverage or balconette bras with wider bands and straps to provide better support and prevent folding.
A common misconception about bra folding is that it’s just a normal part of wearing a bra and something you have to deal with. However, in reality, a well-fitted bra should not fold or cause discomfort. With the right fit and style, you can avoid this issue altogether.
An interesting fact about bras is that they should be replaced every 6-12 months due to wear and tear on the elastic bands and fabric. Knowing this can help maintain good breast health and comfort by ensuring you always have properly supportive bras on hand.
Now that you understand why your bra might be folding at the bottom, I highly recommend booking a professional fitting appointment with us so we can find you the perfect fitting bra. You deserve comfort and support every day.
