Top 5 Signs that Your Big Bras Don’t Fit

Many women who need big bras are convinced that because they have large breasts, they will never find bras that really fit. Something will always be wrong with the bras that they buy. This is a common misconception among well-endowed women, and with a little effort, you can easily find bras that fit. Every woman, regardless of chest size, should see a professional bra fitter. This person helps you to find your perfect bra size, and she helps you to avoid the following problems.

If you experience one or more of these problems, then your big bras do not fit properly, and you are likely wearing the wrong size.

Breasts that Bulge Out

If you are wearing a bra with a cup size that is too small for you, your breasts will likely bulge over the tops of your cups. This can create unattractive lines under your clothing. If this is happening to you, you likely need to go up a cup size.

Straps that Dig In

With big bras especially many women complain that their straps dig into their shoulders. This can happen for a few reasons. First, the back band is what supports your breasts, and if your straps dig in it might indicate that your back band is too big. Second, you might need to look for big bras that offer wide, supportive straps.

Cups that Gap

If your cups gap or if they are wrinkled, this means that your cups are too big, and that your breast is not filling them up all the way. In this case, you will likely need a smaller cup size.

Back Bands that Ride Up or Slide Around

If you are constantly pulling at your bra, it might be because your back band is too large. When a back band rides up, it is not small enough for you, and it cannot do its supportive job properly. In this case, you need to go down a band size.

With big bras, it is important to remember that when you go down a band size, you might need to go up a cup size.

Wires that Poke Out or Poke You

If your bra has underwires and they poke you, you are probably wearing a bra that is too small. If the centre wires poke out, this can also indicate the bra (or the cups) is too small.

If you have any of these common fitting problems, you should take the time to see a professional bra fitter. Even if your big bras are not terribly irritating, you should still see a bra fitter to ensure that you are wearing the proper size as proper size will provide you proper support.
