Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between band size and cup size when fitting a bra?
The band size is the measurement around your ribcage, just under your bust, while the cup size corresponds to the fullness of your breasts. Understanding both measurements is essential for finding the right bra fit. If you're unsure, refer to our size chart for guidance based on your measurements.
How can I tell if my bra is the wrong fit for my body?
If your bra feels uncomfortable or causes bulging, pinching, or digging, it may not be the right fit. The band should stay flat against your body, and the cups should fully contain your breasts without spilling over or leaving gaps. If you’re experiencing issues like straps slipping or the band riding up, it could be a sign that your bra fit is incorrect.
Why is finding the right bra fit so important for older women?
As we age, our body and shape may change, making it more difficult to find the right bra. A good-fitting bra is essential for providing support and comfort, especially if you experience issues such as reduced mobility or arthritis. Adaptive bras designed for older women can offer a perfect fit while considering these unique needs.
How does my body shape affect the bra fit?
Your body shape plays a significant role in finding the right bra. For example, women with a fuller bust may need more support with a larger cup size, while those with a smaller bust may prefer a more flexible fit. Understanding your body shape will help ensure that your bra fits comfortably and supports you throughout the day.
Are these bras suitable for post-surgery or sensitive skin?
Yes, many of our bras are specifically designed for sensitive skin or post-surgery comfort. Look for our wire-free, soft-cup bras or those made with moisture-wicking fabrics that prevent irritation. These bras provide gentle support and are ideal for women recovering from surgery or those with conditions like fibromyalgia or breast cancer treatments.
