Problem #1: Your plus size bra rides up in the back
Solution: Try a smaller band size. But to compensate for the smaller band size you will need to increase the cup size one size. For example, if you’re currently wearing a 38C and you find that your bra rides up in the back, go to a 36D.
Problem #2: Your breasts bulge out the top and sides.
Solution: Try a larger cup size, but keep the same band size. So if you’re currently wearing a 36C, go to a 36D.
Problem #3: Your bra sags or your bust droops with your bra on.
Solution: Try an underwire bra or a bra with crisscross support under the breasts. And make sure you follow the steps for getting the right band and cup size.
Problem #4: Your plus size bra underwires stick out under your clother or poke out from the ribcage.
Solution: Try a smaller band size and add a bra extender to the back.
Problem #5: Your underwire plus size bra cuts into your underarms.
Solution: Try a smaller cup size and add a bra extender to the back of your plus size bra.
Problem #6: Your plus size bra shoulder straps dig in.
Solution: Try a plus size bra with an a wider band under the breasts (for support) and wide padded shoulder straps (for comfort). You also may need to decrease the band size. This will give you more support in the band area and put less stress on the straps.
Problem #7: Your plus size bra shoulder straps slip.
Solution: Try a bra with straps that V in the back.
