Most traditional bras create discomfort with restrictive wires and pinching bands. Wireless alternatives solve those problems, but proper sizing is still key to all-day comfort and support.
Measurement Basics:
Finding your correct wireless bra size involves three simple steps.
1. Bust Measurement:
Stand relaxed and measure around the fullest part of your chest, letting the tape rest gently against your body.
2. Band Size:
Measure snugly directly under your bust. You should be able to fit one or two fingers between the tape and your skin.
3. Cup Size Calculation:
Subtract your band measurement from your bust measurement. Each inch of difference corresponds to a cup size letter (A=1 inch, B=2 inches, C=3 inches, etc.).
Fit Indicators:
A well-fitting wireless bra should provide complete breast coverage with no spillage or gapping. The band should stay in place when you move, lifting your arms, bending, or stretching should not cause shifting or require manual adjustment.
Common Fit Issues:
Digging straps usually mean a loose band, not a strap problem
Cup spillage signals the need to size up
Gaping cups suggest sizing down
A band riding up means you need a smaller band, and sometimes a larger cup
You deserve a bra that adapts to your body, not the other way around.
Additional Considerations:
Sizing is not permanent. Hormonal shifts, weight changes, and natural body variations mean you should re-measure once or twice a year.
