4 signs your bra is too big according to an expert

The bra is part of the daily life of many women, even if some have decided to be more fans of the no bra (that is to say, to no longer wear a bra). This underwear sometimes gets a bad rap: some people complain that it hurts, that it is tight, that it bothers them and they just want to take it off when they get home. And we understand them… But if this happens to you, it’s simply that your bra is not the right size: “It’s like shoes, if you’re a size 40, you’re not going to feel good in a 37…”, notes Charlène, lingerie expert.

Your bra may be too small if you notice certain warning signs, but it may also not fit morphology of your chest. Indeed, each breast is different: some are round, others pear-shaped, others spread… Not all bras are made for everyone. Your underwear may also be too big… If this is the case, Charlène advises paying attention to several signs.

4 signs your bra is too big

For a question of comfort, but also of aesthetics, no one wants to wear a bra that is too big. To spot a bra that is too big, Charlène, our lingerie expert, advises paying attention to certain signs that are unmistakable:

– The band that goes back : “If you can put your fingers behind it at the clip, it means that the bra is too large around the back.”
– Straps fall off all the time : “If the straps fall and slide, they are too wide and do not support the chest.”
– Significant empty spaces at the level of the cup : “if there is a space between the breast and the bra shell, the chosen cup is too big. The bra is not suitable.”
– If you always put your bra back : “Being constantly putting your bra back on all day is a sign that it’s not supporting your breasts.”

How to know your bra size?

“80% of women do not know their true bra size”, says Charlène, lingerie expert. “We all know how to buy a t-shirt in our size but not a bra, but it’s very important and we need to teach women to know that.” The goal ? Magnify your chest and be comfortable all day long. “If a person chooses a bra that fits their size, then they don’t feel it and it’s comfortable. I developed a tool to find your bra size. It is free and accessible: more than 40,000 women have used it and thanks to it, they have finally found their true bra size.”

To know your size, you must pay attention to certain signs: the between the breasts must be flat, the cup must not cut the breast, nor compress it, the breast must not come out of the cup, the bra must be straight in the back… But if you want to be sure not to make a mistake, then ask in store to take measurements and find the shape you need. Charlène’s videos, an expert, can also be of great help to you.
