How do I know if my bra is fitting correctly?Updated a year ago

We know bra fitting can be tricky! Here are a few simple tests:


STOOP, SCOOP, STAND TEST

  1. Stoop - Put on your bra, then bend at the waist at a 90* angle
  2. Scoop - Reach into the bra and guide your ladies into the cups. Make sure there is no breast tissue sitting under the band. 
  3. Stand - Now stand up straight. If your breast tissue is flowing out of the cups, or you are experiencing quad-boob, try a cup or wireless size larger.

 

ARMS UP TEST

  1. Put on your bra, then raise your arms above your head.
  2. Are you boobs coming out under the underwire? If yes, then you’re in the wrong size. It sounds like your band size may be too big, or your cup size is too small. Hint: A band that fits properly will not move when you raise your arms.


STRAP TEST

  1. Put on your bra, then drop the straps off your shoulder.
  2. If your bra pretty much stays put where it is, then the band size is correct. If your bra drops (telling you that your straps are doing too much work) then your band size is too big and you need to go down a band size and up a cup size - remember sister sizing.
