BRA STRAPS DIG IN OR SLIP OFF

Many times it is enough to stretch the straps a little, or in the case of a large chest size it is important to choose wider straps. There may be cases in which the contour size influences, which is responsible for most of the support. In this case, if the circumference size is too wide, all the support is distributed in the straps, so that they dig into the shoulders.
Another known problem is when the shoulder straps continually sag. It is sufficient to tighten the straps a little or in the case of sloping shoulders you should adjust the length of the straps individually to your needs. Sometimes the stretching of the shoulder straps is due to body heat, as the elasticity of the material increases.

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 size of underbust contour. Ideally, the underwire should trace the shape of the breast and gently join the breast. If you are a woman who likes to be more comfortable and is not used to wearing underwires, the ideal alternative is to use a non-wired bra.

BRA CUP OVERFLOWS OR SEPARATES

If the bra cup is squashing your breasts, it means in the vast majority of cases that the cup size is small or, in the case of larger breasts, it may be because the bra is cut 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 cut bra. A low-cut neckline is presented by balconette or push-up bras.

By the shape of the breast
- 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 breast has more volume in the lower part of the breasts. This type of breast 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 molds the breast, in addition to giving it a round and beautiful shape (large capacity, reducers).
- DROP-SHAPED BREASTS
This breast becomes more voluminous downwards, as if they were a drop. This shape occurs especially in women with a large cup. You can choose underwired bras with or without cups, they provide the necessary support and outline a beautiful neckline.
- ROUND CHEST
This breast has a round, smooth shape and equal volume in both the upper and lower breasts. Bra selection for this breast shape is simple, requiring little support and molding. You can choose between a bra with underwired molded 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 evident. For this breast shape are ideal bras with removable cups, push-up bras or bras with cups.
