This is where most of your support comes from, so always perfect your band fit first. Your band should be level from front to back and fit comfortably, but snugly while staying level as you move around.

Cups should hold your breast tissue smoothly. Solve cup fit challenges second as they are supported by your band. Cups should sit smoothly holding your breast tissue without building, gaping or puckering.

Straps hold your cup in place. Solve strap fit challenges last, as typically when your band and cup fit properly, your straps should fit comfortably. When lifted up, you should be able to raise straps 2” away from your shoulders.

Your bra band may be too big. You can first try tightening the hook and eye placement to get a snugger fit. Loosening the straps may also help a band from moving up on your body. If that doesn’t solve the issue, you may need a new size. If the cup is too big and the band is too big, size down. If the cup is too tight but the band is loose, try moving to our full cup range which is specifically designed for those with more breast tissue and smaller bands.

Your bra band may be too small. You can first try loosening the hook and eye placement to get a looser fit. If that doesn’t solve the issue, you may need a new size. If the cup is too small and the band is too small, size up. If the cup is good or possibly too big but the band is tight, try moving up a size or investing in a bra band extender to give yourself added inches to the bottom band.

Your cup is too big or the wrong shape for your body. Try sizing down to reduce cup emptiness and gaping. Also try silhouettes like a T-shirt bra or a Balconette bra which typically have reduced coverage and may solve your empty cup issue.

Your cup is too small or the wrong shape for your body. Try sizing up to reduce cup spillage. Remember to make use of our full cup sizing options if you need to increase your cup size without increasing your band size. Silhouettes like a full coverage bra have increased coverage and may offer you more containment for your breasts.

Try tightening your straps. We recommend checking if your straps need to be tightened after every 5-6 washes, as they may slide during wash and wear. Another great option is to invest in a racerback bra, which will make it impossible for your straps to slide off your shoulders and can help spread the weight of heavy breasts across the entire back fabric of your bra.

Try loosening your straps. Remember, your band should be doing most of the supporting, not your straps. If your straps are digging in, ensure your band is snug enough to properly anchor your straps on body. Look to our bras with wider straps, including full cup sizes, to help your straps to bear more breast tissue weight without digging into your shoulders.

Yes, this is very common. No 2 breasts are exactly alike. If you have breasts that differ greatly from one another:
- Ensure to fit your cup to your larger size. It is much easier to pad an empty cup than to disguise cup spillage.
- Know that your straps do not have to be adjusted the same amount. Use the strap slider to accommodate the breast tissue on each side individually.
- Most of our bras are built with removable padding. Feel free to remove or double up on padding in one cup to help balance out uneven breast tissue.

Full cup sizing is designed for bodies that have more cup volume proportionate to band size. They are designed to better support increased cup volume by:
- Offering a deeper cup
- Maximizing support and comfort for those with larger cup volumes
- Designed with wider straps, hook and eyes, and stronger slings for more support and comfort

Wash and dry your bra gently and only when needed. Check the washing instructions on the label of your bra for recommended laundering. Keep a rotating assortment of well-fitting bras and replace your bras when they no longer fit well.

Know that our bras are made to last and are tested extensively for longevity. However, all good things do come to an end, and at some point, you will need to replace your bra when it no longer fits or is no longer in good condition. You can check the condition by first, gently stretching the bra all over. If the bra band is overly wavy and is not relaxing back to its original state, it may be getting too stretched out. If any part of the bra is starting to look or feel worn, is showing cracks or tears, or is fading in color – it may be time to start shopping for a new bra. Bras that are old and overly stretched out are not going to support you as intended, and simply replacing a well-loved bra with a newer version in the same size may solve some of your bra fit issues.
