If it does… it means you are not wearing the right one.

Check your bra size
The first step is to check whether your current bras really fit. If you experience pain, the straps slip, or your bust spills over, these are all signs that your lingerie is not suitable.
Wearing the wrong bra size or shape can affect your comfort as well as your posture. Therefore,are you really wearing the right bra size? Check it in our size guide.
Learn 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, take your measurements wearing a non-padded bra and keeping your arms relaxed at your sides.
Then compare these measurements in a size chart to determine your cup size.
Our little tip: do not hesitate to measure yourself regularly. The bust changes over time and depending on life periods: pregnancy, weight gain/loss, menstrual cycle...
Choose a model suitable for your bust
Every bust is different, and some require particular support. It is therefore important to adapt your bra choice according to the shape, volume, and firmness of your bust.
If your bust is sagging, certain models are more optimized. Bras suitable for sagging busts subtly lift the bust and adjust perfectly to its shape, for comfortable and natural support.
Available in several colors, the Arum bra is specially designed to support and firm busts lacking roundness.
Think about comfort and materials
Beyond size or even shape, comfort is paramount. Choosing the right size and shape already guarantees optimal comfort. Additionally, selecting soft and breathable materials can also enhance your daily well-being. Cotton and microfiber bras 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 applying excessive pressure or leaving marks on the skin.
A good bra is one you will enjoy wearing all day long.
