Do you have bra cup spillage?

Do you have bra cup spillage?

So your cups spilleth over huh? 

We've all been there: struggling with a bra that just doesn't fit right. Whether it's overflowing cups or side spillage, an ill-fitting bra can be friggin uncomfortable! 

Why Does Bra Spillage Happen?

  • Incorrect Cup Size: Wearing a cup size that's too small is a major culprit. Seems obvious right? However, a lot of my customers think because they're a F cup in one brand, they must be a F cup in all brands. Unfortunately there's no standardisation in sizing so don't get caught up with a 'letter' - it doesn't mean anything except what works for you, in that specific brand.

  • Tight Band Size: A tight band can push breast tissue upwards and outwards, causing spillage. You should be able to get two fingers under the band, anything more and the band is too big, can't breathe? Size up!

  • Breast Shape: Different breast shapes require different bra styles. If you've got softer breasts for example, look for a sports bra with moulded cups to help provide shape and support. Like the Freya High-Octane:



  • Uneven Breasts: Most women have one breast larger than the other. When bra shopping, fit the larger breast and choose a style with easily adjustable straps, as you may need one strap to be tighter like the Simone Underwire High Support Sports Bra:


So don't forget: 

  • Get measured regularly and adjust your bra size as needed.
  • Consider Your Breast Shape: Choose bra styles that complement your shape.
  • Invest in Quality Bras: sorry ladies but that bra you bought from Temu just isn't going to cut it when you've got the big boobs! Well-made bras offer better support and last longer.
  • Care for Your Bras: nothing beats hand washing which extends the life of your bras and maintains their shape.

By understanding the causes of bra spillage and taking the time to find the right bra size and style, you can say goodbye to discomfort and hello to confidence!
