How to find the right bra size
Wearing the right bra size makes a big difference to fit, comfort, and support. Yet many people wear a bra size that doesn’t fit quite right—often without realizing it.
A bra should feel comfortable, fit securely around your body, and provide the support you need. Here, we’ll guide you through what to look for and help you find the right size.
Find your bra size
To help you find the right size, our size guide starts with the bra size you currently wear—even if the fit isn’t quite right. We’ll then ask you a few simple questions about how your bra fits so we can recommend the size that is most likely to suit you.

How a properly fitting bra should feel
A well-fitting bra should feel comfortable and provide good support without needing to be adjusted throughout the day. It should follow the natural shape of your body and feel comfortable whether you’re sitting down or moving around.
A good fit depends on how the different parts of the bra work together. The band, cups, and underwires should all fit correctly to provide the right balance of support and comfort.
What a good fit looks like
The bra band
The band provides most of the bra’s support. It should fit snugly and sit level around your body, staying securely in place throughout the day.
Cup fit
The cups should follow the shape of your breasts and fully contain them without gaps or spillage. Your breasts should sit comfortably inside the cups for a supportive, natural fit.
Underwire fit
On an underwire bra, the underwire should follow the natural shape of your breasts and sit close against your body. It should fully encircle the breast tissue and feel comfortable against your skin.
Common signs that you’re wearing the wrong bra size
It’s not always easy to tell whether you’re wearing the right bra size. Your bra may feel fine when you first put it on, but as the day goes on, it might start to ride up, feel tight, or need frequent adjusting.
A bra that doesn’t fit properly can affect both your comfort and the support you get. Small fit issues can tell you a lot about whether you need a different band or cup size. Knowing what to look for makes it easier to find a bra that fits well and feels comfortable all day long.
What a poor fit looks like
The bra band
If the band rides up at the back, the band size is usually too large and won’t provide enough support. If the band feels too tight, on the other hand, you may need a larger band size.
Cup size
If the cups gape or the fabric wrinkles, the cups are usually too large. If your breasts spill over the edges of the cups, the cups are too small.
Strap support
If the straps slip off your shoulders or dig in, they may simply need adjusting. If the problem continues, it could be a sign that the band isn’t providing enough support.
