Goddess Response: Perhaps you are relying too much on the straps for support. Ideally, most of the support should come from the “body” of the bra, and not the straps. If you tightened up the band (36) and went up in the cup (G) you would experience more support throughout the “body” of the bra (the part that surrounds the torso), and you wouldn’t have to rely on the straps as much to support the weight of the breasts.

Goddess Response: We LOVE this bra. I think it is only a matter of going up a few cup sizes (we go up to a K-cup in a 40-band) in order for this bra to fit and most of all to feel comfortable. Also, importantly, if the cup fits properly (cups big enough to surround and support the breasts, band snug enough to hug the body) you won’t need the big ol’ straps as the body of the bra will be doing the heavy lifting.

HerRoom Response: You note that you are petite in stature. We have a category on our site called Plus Size Petites that calls out bras that work best for women of your height. K from Richmond, CA
Goddess Response: Great job that you went up a cup size to get the center gore to “tack”! However, if your breasts are still creeping out below, it’s telling me that you probably need a smaller band (38-) and a larger cup (I). You should try a 38I for a great custom fit. A tighter band would ensure that the bra doesn’t ride around the torso which sometimes causes the under-wires to end up in the wrong place and poke. Anne from Oxnard, CA
