Choosing the right bra is the key to lingerie in which you feel comfortable! However, many women wear the wrong size or models that do not correspond to their body shape. Size is one of the key pieces of information for knowing everything about the bra. A bra should neither hurt you nor bother you throughout the day. If it does… then you are not wearing the right one.

Here are some tips to find the bra that will suit you perfectly.

 

Check the size of your bras

The first step is to check whether your current bras really fit you. If you feel pain, your straps slip off, or your bust spills out, these are all signs that your lingerie is not suitable.


Wearing the wrong size or shape of bra can have repercussions not only on your comfort but also on your posture. So, are you really wearing the right bra size? Check in our guide.

 

Learn how to measure your size

If you do not know your measurements, it is important to calculate your bra size.

To know your measurements, simply measure your bust and underbust. Ideally, you should take your measurements while wearing a non-padded bra and keeping your arms relaxed along your body.

Then compare these measurements with a size chart to determine your cup size.

Our little tip: do not hesitate to take your measurements regularly. Your bust evolves with time and depending on life stages: pregnancy, weight gain/loss, menstrual cycle…

 

Choose a model adapted to your bust

Every bust is different, and some require specific support. It is therefore wise to adapt your choice of bra according to the shape, volume, and firmness of your bust.

 If you have sagging breasts, some models are more suitable. Bras adapted to sagging breasts subtly lift the bust and fit perfectly to its shape for comfortable and natural support.


Think about comfort and fabrics

Beyond size and shape, comfort is essential. Choosing the right size and shape already ensures optimal comfort. However, the choice of soft and breathable fabrics can also improve your daily well-being. Cotton and microfiber prevent irritation even after a long day.

The quality of the straps and underwires also plays a major role. They should support the bust without creating excessive pressure or leaving marks on the skin.

A good bra is one that you will enjoy wearing all day long.
