Common Bra Fitting Questions
How often should I get refitted?
It's recommended to get refitted every 6-12 months or after significant weight changes, pregnancy, or surgery. Your body can change over time, and bras may stretch with wear.
Why do bra sizes vary between brands?
Different brands may have slight variations in their sizing due to manufacturing differences, design styles, and target demographics. Always try on bras when possible, especially when switching brands.
What if my measurements fall between sizes?
If you're between band sizes, try both and see which feels more comfortable. For cup sizes, it's generally better to go up a band size and down a cup size (e.g., 34C instead of 32D) for better support.
How tight should the band be?
The band should fit snugly but not dig in. You should be able to fit two fingers underneath the band. If you can pull the band away from your body more than 2 inches, it's too loose.
