Falling Out Of The Bottom Of Your Cup

Problem:

Band is  too big.

Solution:

You need a smaller band size.

If you are wearing a 34B, try a 32C.

If you are wearing a 38C, try a 36D.

A Word From Your Personal Bra Consultant

I work retail as a full time bra consultant.  I measure, pick out styles, fit, and educate women on how to choose the correct fitting bra.

I find that most of the women that I help are wearing a bra that the band is too big, and often times the cup is to small.

Your band does all of the lifting, and supporting.  The band does most of the work.  If your shoulders have pressure marks, bruises, and dents, your band is not supporting your breast properly and your straps are digging into your shoulders.

What can you do to fix the problem?

Go down one band size and go up one cup size.

If you are now wearing a 38B, try a 36C.

If you are now wearing a 34D, try a 32DD.

If you are now wearing a 44C, try a 42D.

If you are now wearing a 36DD, try a 34DDD.

Remember, that when choosing the proper fitting bra, you should fasten your new bra in the loosest row of hooks not the tightest.

If your are fastening your bra in the tightest row of hooks, this is a sign that your band is too big and you need to go down a band size and go up a cup size.

Straps Digging Into Shoulders

Problem:

Band is too big.

The reason your bra straps are digging into your shoulders is because you are wearing a bra that is to big in the band or you bra is old and it is time for you to go bra shopping.  The band size is the number (28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, ….).  Your band does all of the lifting and support and that is why it is very important that your band be comfortably snug, not loose.

Solution:

Go down in your band size.

If you are wearing a 40C, try a 38D.

If you are wearing a 36DD, try a 34 DDD.

If you are wearing a 38DDD, try a 36G.

If you are wearing a 34C, try a 32D.

Note: When you change your band size, you have to change your cup size.  If  you go down in the band size, go up in the cup size.  If you go up in the band size, go down in the cup size.

The cup size will get smaller as the band size goes down, and the band size will get larger as the cup increases.

Bra Straps Keep Falling Off Of Your Shoulders

Problem:

You are wearing the wrong band size,  straps are not adjusted correctly, bra is old and it is time for a new bra, or you are wearing the wrong style.

Solution:

If you are wearing the wrong band size,  go down in the band and go up in the cup.  If you are now wearing a 34C, try a 32D.

Make sure your straps are adjusted properly…..not to tight and not to loose.

Look for a bra style that the straps are closer to the back hooks which are sometimes know as  U-back, or modified racer back.

It may be time for a new bra. 🙂
