How to Buy A Bra Online That Fits Well

If you've ever spent hours scrolling through various online retailers searching for a perfect bra, you know how frustrating it can be. There are so many different styles, brands, and sizes! Luckily, there's an easier way to find the right bra - and it doesn't require you to be the next size up or down. Here's everything you need to know about buying bras online.

Measure Your Bust

One of the first steps to finding the perfect bra is knowing your size. Busts come in different sizes depending on bra type, band, and cup size. To find your bust size, wrap a measuring tape around your chest, under your arms, and above the fullest part of your breasts. 

For your band size, add 4 inches if it is even and five inches if it is odd. For your bust, subtract the band size from the cup size and use this guide to determine the right size for you;

• 0 inches difference - A.A.

• 1 - A

• 2 - B

• 3 - C 

• 4 - D

• 5 - DD/E

• 6 - DDD/F

Believe it or not, 80% of women wear bras that don't fit them properly. The next time you buy a new bra online or in-store, try this guide to help.

Check Retailers Measurements

Did you know that bras are sized differently depending on the retailer? That's why you should never go by size when ordering. Instead, you should use one of these methods to find the perfect bra: 

• Try on a bra in store before purchasing it online

• Look for a bra that has the same band and cup size as your current favorite one 

• Order one with similar measurements to your current favorite one 

Don't Just Go by Size.

Style, materials, usage, and features all play a part in how well your bra fits, as does whether or not you choose a wired or underwired bra or if you need a nursing or surgical bra.

Take these factors into the size you choose online to help you determine the right fit. Again, customer reviews can be massively helpful.

Understand How A Bra Should Fit

It's essential to know how a bra should fit so that you can find the right bra online. A bra should hold your breasts firmly against your chest without slipping or digging in. Your straps should not be too tight or too loose, and you should not be spilling out of the cups. If you are spilling out of cups and dealing with spillage, go up one size. If your straps are digging in or loose, go down one size. Your brand should be straight around your rib cage and not be lower or higher at the back. If it is, you need to change the backside of your bra.

Check the Materials and Style

When you're shopping online, the first thing you should do is check the materials and style of the bra. Bras are made from lace, mesh, satin, and cotton fabrics. They can also be either push-up bras, comfortable lace bras, or full coverage bras. Push-up bras will give you more cleavage, while full coverage bras offer more support. So before you make a purchase, think about what type of bra you want and the material it's made out of to ensure that it matches your needs!

Finding a Bra that Fits and Supports You

Many different factors go into finding the perfect bra. The band size, the cup size, the style, and the fabric are just some examples. While you may be able to find a bra that fits your bust, it might not offer the support you're looking for. This can lead to pain and discomfort and an unappealing shape in clothes. A bra should provide comfort and support for your breasts. If a bra is digging into your skin or feeling discomfort in your shoulders, this isn't a good sign of a supportive bra. The material of your bras can also play a role in how supportive they are for you. Bras with stretchy fabric will give more movement than bras with much padding or boning. You want to look for something comfortable and supportive enough to lift without flattening what needs fluffing up! If someone has ever told you that you're wearing the wrong size, this could be why!

Remember to take note of these tips when buying bras online: -Bras should fit snug against your chest without being too tight -Check underwire and straps before purchasing -The center front panel should lie flat against your chest when worn -Bras should have no gaps on either side -Your breasts should not overflow or bulge out of cups.
