GET A BRA FIT REGULARLY

Our bodies change over time due to various factors like weight fluctuations, time of the month, pregnancy, and aging. Therefore, it's crucial to measure yourself regularly, ideally every six months. You can measure yourself at home or get professionally fitted at our lingerie stores or through our virtual bra fitting service. Here to help you find the bra that fits, flatters and makes you feel amazing our expert virtual bra fitting service is free and secure with no obligation to buy. Knowing your current measurements is the first step to finding the right bra size.

CHECK YOUR BAND SIZE

The band of your bra provides the majority of the support. So, it’s important that it fits perfectly. If not, you might feel uncomfortable and not getting the support you need. To ensure it fits correctly, use the "two-finger rule." You should be able to fit two fingers snugly under the band at the back. If it's too loose or too tight, you may need to adjust the band size. Our expert bra fitters will be able to advise you on this.

CHECK YOUR CUP SIZE

Finding the correct cup size is equally important. The cups of your bra should fully encase your breasts without any gaps or spillage. If you're experiencing spillage at the top or sides, it's likely you need a larger cup size. Conversely, if there's wrinkling or gaping in the cups, consider going down a cup size. Again, our expert bra fitters will be able to advise you on this and help you find your perfect cup size.

ADJUST THE STRAPS IF NEEDED

It’s always worth checking the straps, after all they play a crucial role in supporting your boobs. The last thing you want is for them to be uncomfortable. The straps should sit comfortably on your shoulders without any digging in or pain. If they're constantly slipping off your shoulders, they may be too loose. Tightening the straps can help provide better support or experiment with different bra styles to see what works for you.

CONSIDER DIFFERENT STYLES TO SUIT YOUR SIZE & SHAPE

A bra style can have a big impact on how well it fits your breast shape. I know it sounds confusing that’s why we’ve created a dedicated blog to help you identify your boob shape and the bras the complement them. We know, we sound like a broken record, but our expert bra fitters can also help you identify your breast shape, all with your bra on! Bra styles can also be designed for various outfits. For instance, a t-shirt bra offers a smooth, seamless look under your favourite t-shirt or tight-fitting clothes, while a balconette bra can provide a subtle lift without showing through your neckline. When it comes to bras it’s important to experiment with different styles to find what suits you best.

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY

Ultimately, the best way to determine if you're wearing the right bra size is how it feels. A well-fitting bra should be comfortable throughout the day. If you're constantly adjusting, feeling discomfort, or experiencing pain, it's a clear sign that something isn't right with the fit. That’s where Pour Moi comes in to help!
