    The bra straps

    Comfort is key! Your bra straps shouldn't be digging into your skin but shouldn't slip off your shoulders.

    • Do your bra straps dig into your skin?

      Then it is too tight and you are probably wearing a size too small. If you are wearing the right band size you should be able to fit two fingers between your band and back. Quick fix: loosen your bra band by closing it on another hook. Are you already using the widest hook? Then you need a bigger band size.

    • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders?

      Then your bra straps are too long. Try tightening them by adjusting them. If you can’t change them try on different bra styles with adhesive bra straps or try a fashionclip to keep your straps together.

    The bra band

    Your bra band provides most support so it is very important to wear the right fit.

    • Does your bra band cut into your skin?

      Then it is too tight and you are probably wearing a size too small. If you are wearing the right band size you should be able to fit two fingers between your band and back. Quick fix: loosen your bra band by closing it on another hook. Are you already using the widest hook? Then you need a bigger band size.

    • Does your bra band ride up your back?

      Your bra band is probably too loose and you are wearing a band size that is too big for you. Quick fix: tighten your bra band by fastening it on a tighter hook. Are you already using the tightest hook? Then you need a smaller band size.

    The cups

    The cups shouldn't be gaping in but you shouldn't be spilling over your cups either.

    • Do your breasts spill over your cups or are you getting a so-call "quadboob"?

      Big chance your cups are too small. Does your bra band fit perfectly? Then you need a bigger cup size. Is your bra band also too tight? Then you would probably be better off with a larger band size. Quick fix: loosen your bra straps.

    • Do your cups gape in?

      Then your cups are probably too big. Try a smaller cup size! If your bra band is also too wide, try on a smaller band size. Quick fix: tighten your bra straps.


      Did you know that a bra wears out after approximately 8 months (assuming you wear it daily)? Shocking right? So if you’ve been wearing the same bra regularly for a longer period, it could also be that you’re dealing with wear and tear and need a new bra. If you experience one (or more) of the previously mentioned problem(s) with a new bra, then you are probably wearing the wrong bra size or style.
