How to Wear a Bra: Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Pick the Right Bra
Make sure it's the right size for you.2. Put on the Straps
Slide your arms through the bra straps like you would with a tank top.
3. Wrap the Band Around
Bring the bra around your chest so the band sits under your breasts. Make sure your band is fitted properly not too tight and no digging into your skin. The band should sit firmly around your ribcage, providing most of the support. If it feels uncomfortable or rides up, it might be the wrong size.
4. Hook it Up
Fasten the hooks at the back of your bra (or front if it’s a front-closure bra)
5. Adjust the Cups
Make sure your breasts are sitting comfortably inside the cups. If not, lean forward slightly and adjust each breast into the cup, ensuring they are fully enclosed. This technique helps position your breasts properly in the cups, reducing any gaps or spillage.
6. Tighten the Straps
Are your straps slipping off or digging into your shoulders? Then adjust them for a comfortable fit. Start by loosening or tightening them until they sit snugly on your shoulders without digging in.
7. Final Check
How does it feel now? Stand up straight and check the overall fit. The centre of the bra (the gore) should lie flat against your chest. The band should not ride up, the straps should not slip off, and there should be no spillage over the cups. If everything feels comfortable and secure, you’re ready to go!
