Good Fitting Bra

You can’t feel confident if your bra is gaping, slipping off your shoulders or bits are poking out underneath. A good fitting bra will provide comfort, support and most importantly, help you feel confident from the inside out.

But just because a bra fitted you last year, it doesn’t mean you’ll be able to wear it forever. Our bodies change all the time, so it’s a good idea to check your favourite style still fits like a glove every six months or so. 

With that in mind, we’ve got a few tips to get your bra feeling comfy again. All you need is your favourite bra, a mirror and our handy guide. Prepare to wave goodbye to ill-fitting bras forever!

Loosen your bra straps if: 
• They are digging into your shoulders 
• They feel tight and are causing the cups to dig into your breasts
