Welcome to Your Bra Fitting Hub

You can start by “self-fitting” at home with our Bra Size Calculator, Perfect Fit Checklist, and Universal Cup Sizing™ tools, then confirm in person at a reputable lingerie or department store that carries a wide range of sizes and styles.

Use a soft tape measure at home to measure your underbust and full bust following our How to Measure instructions, or visit a lingerie shop or bra-fitting department where a trained fitter can measure and then fine-tune your size based on how bras actually fit.

Signs a bra is too small include cup spillage or “quad-boob,” underwire sitting on breast tissue, a band that feels painfully tight, or straps digging in because they’re working overtime to hold the bra up instead of the band doing most of the support.

The most comfortable bra is one where the band sits level and snug, the cups are smooth with no gapping or cutting in, straps stay put without digging, and the center front lies close to your chest. Once fit is correct, choose fabrics and styles that match your breast shape and daily activities.

Replace bras once the band no longer feels supportive on the loosest hook, the elastic loses recovery, the cups lose their shape, or the straps won’t adjust tightly enough even after you rotate bras and care for them properly.

With regular wear and proper washing and storage, a bra should last several months to a year or more. How long it lasts depends on your bra rotation, how supportive the style is, and how carefully you care for the fabric and elastic.

A bra is too big if the band rides up your back, the cups wrinkle or gap at the top or sides, the straps keep slipping even when shortened, or you can pull the band far away from your body without resistance. These are cues to go down in band and/or cup size.
