Vendor Response: GD6040 offers lots of cup sizes, so it’s very easy to find the size you need! If you’re feeling the cups are too large, simply go down a cup size to a 36G. Also be sure to “swoop and scoop” all of your breast tissue from the back to the front to fill the cups. This will make all the difference in how the bra fits you. (Please refer to Tomima’s “3 Steps to a Fabulous Fit” to help.) Kathleen from Strobe
Goddess Response: It does sound as if you’re not putting the bra on properly: It’s just as important to put the bra on correctly as it is to find the right size and style (please refer to Tomima’s 3 Steps to a Fabulous Fit). Here’s a great tip if you have difficulty hooking the bra in the back… Put on a half-slip (or Spanx – whatever you happen to have) and bring it up right underneath your breasts -now fasten the bra over the slip: Since there’s no drag of the bra on your skin, it will slide around your torso with ease. Pull the slip or the Spanx out from under… -and voila, you’re in the bra! Leslie from Cayce
Goddess Response: It could be that the cups are slightly too big for you. Very often if there’s too little breast tissue to fill the cup, the silhouette can look a bit projected. Try going down a cup size (to 36H); also make sure to swoop-and-scoop your breast tissue (from the back to the front) to ensure all of the breast tissue is encapsulated in the cups. And please refer to Tomima’s 3 Steps to a Fabulous Fit for the “how to” of it. Jessica from Marysville, WA
Goddess Response: Wish I knew which styles you’ve been wearing in the past. Very often a style won’t work because it’s not the correct size… Usually it’s because the band is too big and the cup is too small. Goddess 6040 is truly one of the most supportive bras on the market. It’s built for maximum support with double layer fabric on the bottom cup, and stabilizing seams. However all of these features can’t do the job if the size isn’t correct. If the breast tissue is fully contained in the cups, and the band is snug enough, you should feel total support and no bounce. Selerya from Nashville, TN
Goddess Response: 6040 is one of our real faves and offers the ultimate in support, so I’m very surprised to hear about your disappointing experience. As you know most of the support for the breast tissue should come from the “body” of the bra (the band and cups) and not from the straps. In order to achieve this it sometimes helps to go down in the band, and up one or two cup sizes. Perhaps try a 36J or even a 36K.
We use restricted stretch straps for support and ease of movement. The slight stretch allows the armhole to give when the bra is pulled on over larger arms. Sandy from Ohio
