Wearing a bra is an essential part of everyday life for many women. However, it’s surprising how often we get it wrong. Wearing the wrong size or not putting it on correctly can lead to discomfort, pain, and even long-term health problems. To help you find the perfect fit and wear your bra properly, we’ve put together some useful tips and tricks. Read on to find out more!

What size bra should I wear?

One of the most important aspects of wearing a bra correctly is finding the right size. Many women are wearing bras that are either too big or too small, causing discomfort and inadequate support. To determine your correct bra size, follow these steps:

  • Measure your band size by wrapping a tape measure snugly around your ribcage, just beneath your bust. Round to the nearest whole number.
  • To measure your cup size, wrap the tape measure around the fullest part of your bust. Subtract your band size measurement from this number. The difference corresponds to your cup size (e.g., 1-inch difference = A cup, 2-inch difference = B cup, etc.).
  • Combine your band size (number) with your cup size (letter) to find your perfect bra size (e.g., 34C, 36D, etc.).

How should I put on my bra?

Putting on your bra correctly ensures maximum support and comfort throughout the day. Follow these steps to put on your bra properly:

  • Hold your bra by the band and place your arms through the straps.
  • Lean forward and allow your breasts to fall naturally into the cups.
  • Stand up straight and fasten the bra on the loosest hook.
  • Adjust the straps by lengthening or shortening them to ensure a snug fit that doesn’t dig into your shoulders.

How should my bra fit?

A well-fitting bra should provide adequate support, uplift, and comfort. Here’s what you should look for to ensure your bra fits correctly:

  • The band should sit horizontally around your body, parallel to the ground, without riding up your back.
  • The cups should fully encapsulate your breasts, with no spillage or gaping.
  • The underwire, if present, should encase your breasts and lie flat against your ribcage without poking or digging in.
  • The bra should feel snug but not overly tight. You should be able to slide two fingers under the band and the straps without difficulty.

How often should I replace my bra?

Over time, bras will lose their elasticity and support, so it’s important to replace them regularly. On average, you should aim to replace your bras every 6 to 12 months, depending on how frequently they are worn and washed. Signs that it’s time for a new bra include stretched out bands, fraying wires, or cups that no longer fit properly.

Remember, wearing a bra that fits correctly and is putting on properly is key to ensuring your breasts are properly supported and comfortable. So, take the time to find your perfect size and follow these tips for an all-day, every-day pleasant bra-wearing experience!
