If you're spilling out or overflowing from your bra, either on the sides or over the cup, your cup size is too small!

The Solution: Try a cup size larger! That's it!

For example, if you're wearing a 34B and the band seems supportive and snug but you're getting the dreaded "double boob" effect over the top of the cup, try a 34C. If the issue persists, try another cup size larger until your girls are completely enveloped in the bra cup with no spillage.

You can also consider trying different styles of bras, as different cup construction works better for different breast shapes & sizes!

If your band is riding up in the back, it's almost always because your band size is too large! When we wear a band size that isn't snug enough, we overcompensate by tightening our straps, thinking support and lift should come from the strap.

It can take a little time to get used to the feeling of the band around your chest, but 80-90% of your support is meant to come from the band. The band of your bra should stay horizontal, or parallel to the ground, and, bonus, your straps won't hurt anymore!

The Solution: To fix, try a smaller band size until your breasts are supported mainly from the band.

As you adjust band sizes, you'll probably need to compensate cup size by going up one cup size for each band size you go down. These are referred to as 'sister sizes'.

For example, if you're wearing a 36C, go down to a 34 band size but up to a D cup size. If it's still too loose, the next size to try is a 32DD.

Bra straps can pose big problems, whether too tight, digging in and leaving indentations that can become permanent, or slipping off your shoulders non stop. The too tight bra straps are typically due to wearing a band size that's too loose, so we compensate by shortening our straps, mistakenly thinking the bra straps should support us.

The Solution: Try a smaller band size and be sure to adjust your bra strap. If your shoulders are sloping, try bra styles with straps that are closer set or try a simple accessory like the Fashion Forms Strap-Mate.

When trying a smaller band size, remember to go up a cup size for each band size you go down, for example, a 36D would become a 34DD. It might feel snug at first but not too tight, there should be just enough room to slide 1 finger under the band. Remember, most of your bras support will come from the band!

Great Question! Bra fit is so important, here are some helpful tips to check your fit!

Adjust the band. The back of the bra should be level with the front.

Make sure the bra is not too loose. You should be able to slide only one finger underneath the band.

Fix falling straps. First, tighten the band, then shorten the straps.

Put on a close-fitting shirt over the bra. If the cups pucker or your breasts bulge, you are not wearing the correct bra size.

Look at yourself sideways in a mirror. Your breasts should sit midway between your shoulders and elbows. If not, you need a more supportive and better-fitting bra.

Choose a bra that fits perfectly when secured on the outermost hook. As the bra loosens over time, make the band taut by moving toward the tightest hook.
