BRA STRAPS DIG IN OR SLIP OFF
BRA STRAPS DIG IN OR SLIP OFF
Often it is enough to stretch the straps a little, or in the case of a larger bust size it is important to choose wider straps. There may be cases in which the contour size, which is responsible for most of the support, is a factor. In this case, if the circumference size is too wide, all the support is distributed in the straps, which means that the straps dig into the shoulders.
Another known problem is when the shoulder straps continuously fall down. It is sufficient to tighten the straps a little or, if you have sloping shoulders, to adjust the length of the straps individually to your needs. Sometimes the stretching of the shoulder straps is caused by body heat, as the elasticity of the material increases.

THE BRA BAND TIGHTENS
THE BRA BAND TIGHTENS
This is one of the most common fitting problems. In most cases, the cause is a cup that is too small. It is necessary to select a larger cup and, if necessary, a smaller underbust size. Ideally, the underwire should follow the shape of the bust and fit smoothly against it. If you are a woman who likes to be more comfortable and does not usually wear underwires, the ideal alternative is to wear a non-wired bra.

BRA CUP OVERFLOWS OR SEPARATES
BRA CUP OVERFLOWS OR SEPARATES
If the bra cup is squashing your breasts, this usually means that the cup size is too small or, in the case of larger breasts, it may be because the cut of the bra is too low. If you feel that the contour fits snugly, simply go up a cup size or try a bra with a higher cut line.
In the case where the cup makes a gap or crease, first try tightening the bra straps a little. If this doesn't work, we recommend choosing a smaller cup size or a flatter bra cut. A low-cut neckline can be found in balconette or push-up bras.

By breast shape
- SMALL BREASTS
If you want to visibly increase your bra size, you can choose a push-up bra. There are cases of women who, despite having small breasts, also complain of sagging. For this breast shape, it is important to support the breast tissue and lift it slightly. You can choose between a push-up bra, a balconette or a cup bra.
- LARGE OR FLARED BREASTS
The flared bust has more volume at the bottom of the breasts. This type of bust requires larger cups and bras with strong support. In this case, cup, balconette or full coverage bras are ideal. Also the classic underwired bra that moulds the bust and gives it a nice round shape (large capacity, reducing bras).
- DROP-SHAPED BREASTS
This breast becomes more voluminous towards the bottom, as if they were a drop. This shape is especially common in women with a large cup. You can choose underwired bras with or without cups, they provide the necessary support and create a beautiful cleavage.
- ROUND CHEST
This breast has a round, smooth shape and equal volume in both the upper and lower part of the breasts. Bra selection for this breast shape is simple, requiring little support and moulding. You can choose between a bra with underwired moulded cups, triangle bras or non-wired bras.
- ASYMMETRICAL BREASTS
Almost all women have different sized breasts, in most cases the difference is so insignificant that it is not even noticeable, but some women have the problem that the difference in cup size is obvious. For this breast shape, bras with removable cups, push-up bras or bras with cups are ideal.
- BREAST CANCER: MASTECTOMY
(One or two breasts removed)
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. For the well-being of the affected woman, we offer post-operative bras and bras for prostheses from the Anita care range, which explicitly addresses the special needs of women who have undergone breast surgery.
