Women's Bras

Measure band size by wrapping a tape measure around your ribcage just under the bust and round to the nearest whole inch; measure bust at the fullest point. Subtract band from bust to determine cup (each inch ≈ one cup size) and use the band measurement to determine numeric band size; try on styles to confirm fit, as sizing varies by brand and design

For everyday wear choose comfortable styles with supportive features like full or T-shirt bras, soft cups, or wireless options; for special occasions consider push-up, plunge, balconette, or strapless designs depending on neckline and desired shaping

A correct fit has the band snug on the loosest hook, cups enclosing breast tissue without gaps or spillage, center gore lying flat against the sternum, and straps that stay up without digging into shoulders; adjust band, cup size, or style if any of these indicators are off

Look for breathable fabrics like cotton or microfiber for comfort, underwire or molded cups for defined support, wider bands and straps for added support, and stretch or wireless constructions if you prefer flexibility; consider padded or lined cups for modesty

Hand wash with mild detergent and air dry whenever possible; if machine washing, use a lingerie bag on a gentle cycle and fasten hooks, then reshape and air dry to prevent damage to elastic and underwire

Replace bras when they lose elasticity, the band stretches out, underwire pokes through, or fit and support noticeably decline—typically every 6–18 months depending on wear frequency, care, and construction

Prioritize fit and essential features (correct band/cup size, supportive band, comfortable straps) over decorative elements, look for multipacks or basic styles in lower price tiers, and check for washable, durable fabrics to maximize value
