If you’re a woman and have found yourself trying to figure out how to find the right bra, you know the struggle is real. There are so many different types of bras, sizes, fabrics and styles that it can take much work to understand where to start. That’s why we will help you by giving tips on finding the right-fitting bra for your body type!
At Chums, we know that finding the perfect bra can be a challenge. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you find the best-fitted bra for your body type.
Always know your exact measurements.
When buying a bra, it is essential to know your exact measurements.
- Measure yourself correctly by measuring around the fullest part of your bust, just above your collarbone and underbust.
- If you want to be sure that a bra fits you when worn open or closed, measure around both breasts at once—rounding up if necessary—and add 2 inches for each cup size above 32A/32B.
The band should be snug and comfortable.
It should not be too tight, which means that the bra will dig into your skin, but it should also not be too loose either, as this can cause many discomforts when wearing the bra.
The best way to find out if you have found the right size for your body is by trying on different styles of bras until you find one that fits comfortably without causing any pain or irritation on your skin.
Straps shouldn’t chafe against your shoulders or come undone.
The straps of your bra should be tight enough. They should be adjusted so they don’t dig into your shoulders and slip off.
The straps should also be symmetrical on both sides of the body, meaning the same amount of pressure is applied to each side of your body when you wear them.
Your breasts shouldn’t bulge out of the cups.
If your breasts are too big for a bra, then it’s likely that you’re wearing the wrong size. The right way to check this is by trying different sizes in the same brand and style until finding one that fits you perfectly. If you have difficulty closing your clasp or feel like there are gaps between them (or if they ride up), then this means that either:
- You need an extra-small size; otherwise, it won’t fit properly when worn under clothing
- Your band has been too tight since day one, so we recommend making adjustments until they’re comfortable!
In front of your ribcage, the wire ought to be flat.
Your rib cage should be flat on the wire; it shouldn’t overhang. If it is digging in, it is too small. On the other hand, if a wire is sitting away from your body and poking you in the ribs, it is too big!
Conclusion
The most important thing for ladies when selecting bras is their comfort. Therefore, there are many other factors to consider when buying bras, such as fit and support, but comfort should always be first on your list.
