Have you ever felt frustrated searching for a bra that offers support, comfort, and style? If you have a larger bust, this challenge might sound all too familiar. Choosing the right bra can transform your daily comfort and elevate your outfits.
Discover our complete guide to finding the perfect bra for generous busts.
1. Know Your Bra Size
To begin, it’s essential to know your exact size. Here’s how to measure:
Measure the band
Using a flexible tape measure, measure around your ribcage, just below your bust, to determine your band size. It’s important to do this without wearing a bra or a T-shirt. This measurement is expressed in numbers, such as 34, 36, 38, etc.
Measure the cup
Measure the fullest part of your bust, at nipple level. If your bust is sagging, lean slightly forward while taking this measurement. Cup size is indicated by letters: A, B, C, D, E, F, etc.
Refer to our size guide available on each product page.
2. Treat Your Bust with Care
Breasts, lacking muscle, are particularly vulnerable to the effects of gravity. To prevent issues like sagging and neck pain, it’s crucial to choose a bra that offers optimal support. This is even more important for generous busts, which require extra reinforcement to avoid discomfort.
3. The Best Bra Styles for Generous Busts
- Underwired Bra with Padding
Contrary to popular belief, padding doesn’t add extra volume but instead provides a smooth, natural shape to the bust. Underwires offer excellent support by lifting and separating the breasts. Wide straps distribute weight evenly, avoiding shoulder pain caused by thin, uncomfortable straps.
For optimal comfort, opt for full-coverage cups that perfectly encapsulate the bust without compressing it. Ideal for generous and slightly sagging busts.
- Minimizer Bra
These bras are specifically designed to visually reduce bust volume and streamline the figure. High, full-coverage cups slightly flatten the bust, making it less prominent under clothing. Molded designs are invisible under garments. If you want both aesthetics and comfort, try lace options.
A true game-changer in plus-size lingerie, these bras provide exceptional support and a flattering silhouette. Perfect for a more understated look!
- Sports Bra
High-impact models with molded cups and extra support are ideal for physical activities. These bras feature wider, adjustable straps to absorb impact and clasp closures for optimal support during exercise.
For larger busts, we recommend front-closure models. They’re incredibly practical, easy to fasten, and allow for greater freedom of movement.
- Strapless Bra
Yes, women with generous busts can wear bandeau bras! Nowadays, they’re designed with adhesive bands that stay in place without slipping. When chosen correctly, they provide excellent support while being aesthetically pleasing. You can confidently wear backless tops or strapless dresses.
Our tip: choose a microfiber model for an invisible effect under your clothes.
