How Should Bras Fit?
Are you wearing the proper bra size? Wearing the right size bra matters and that is why MeMe’s Foundations wants to help you feel comfortable and confident in the bra you’re wearing.
The bottom line is your bra should give you support without being uncomfortable. If you’re having problems with bras fitting, you probably are wearing the wrong size and should get measured.
Common bra fit problems include:
The cups are too loose
The cups are too tight
The straps keep falling
The bra band moves around
The bra band is too tight
The straps dig into your skin
The bra band creates bulges
You fall out of the bottom
The breasts should not be spilling out of your bra in the middle, nor should they be pushing out towards the armpits. If this is occurring, you are wearing a size that is too small.
If you have gaps in the cups of your bra or they feel loose, you are probably wearing a size that is too big and need a smaller cup size. This is where the help from one of our bra fitting experts will come in handy!
How Bra Sizing Works

How Should a Bra Fit?
Wearing a bra that fits you the right way is important for a variety of reasons. The first being that wearing a bra that doesn’t properly fit can lead to back pains from lack of support, or general discomfort. Another reason is that wearing a bra that doesn’t fit can ruin an outfit.
We want you to get the comfort and support you need! Bras should feel snug against the body, but still comfortable. Here are a few signs that your bra fits properly:
Your breasts can completely covered by the bra cups
You can slide one finger under the band of your bra
Your breasts sit midway between your shoulders and your elbows
The back and the front of your bra are level
What are Sister Sizes?
You may have heard of sister sizes when the topic of bras is discussed. A sister size are other bra sizes that are grouped together depending on their cup volume. Your sister size is equal to going up a band size and going down one cup size. For example, if you are a 36C, your sister size is a 38B.
Remember, not all bras are the same and some will provide different levels of support than others. In some brands, you may need a bigger or smaller size than another.
