Fit solution
Are you constantly tugging and fussing with your bra? Here are solutions for the most common problems:
Spilling out of the top or sides
Why Cup is too small.
Fix Go up a cup size or try a style with more coverage.

Rippling or wrinkly cup fabric
Why Cup is too big.
Fix Go down a cup size or try a demi-cup style.

Bra back is riding up
Why Either your straps are too tight or the cups are not supportive enough.
Fix Loosen straps or try a firmer-support style. Your bra back should be sitting level just below your shoulder blades.

Slipping straps
Why Straps are too loose or the style doesn't suit your shape.
Fix Tighten straps or, if you're narrow-shouldered, try a racer-back style.

Digging straps
Why Straps are too tight or you may need more support.
Fix Loosen straps or try a style with padded straps.
