I’ve heard that many women are wearing the wrong size bra, why do so many women get it wrong?

Surprisingly 80% of women are indeed wearing the wrong size bra! There are many reasons why this happens.Here are the main reasons:

  • There is a misconception about bra sizes. People think that D is a big size and, therefore, DD is huge - but this is not necessarily true. Fifty per cent of women are a size D or bigger.
  • The size of the cup is in relation to the back size. A 36D is a cup bigger then a 34D. There are more than 100 sizes of bras.
  • Most women don't know how a bra should fit. There are special tricks to knowing if your bra is fitting properly. Many women don't know these tricks and don't realize that they could be much more comfortable wearing the correct size. Something Comfortable offers free bra fitting services.
  • Many women's bodies change size frequently. It is likely that bra sizes will change if your dress size changes either up or down.
  • Many stores carry limited sizes of bras, eliminating the choice of getting the right size for most women. This is particularly true when the women don't know that what they are getting is wrong. Something comfortable carries a wide selection of styles and sizes.
