See how to put on your bra correctly

Putting your bra on correctly helps position your breasts in the cups and allows the underband to provide the support you need.

Watch the video, then use the six steps below as a handy checklist.

STEP BY STEP

6 steps to a better bra fit

Follow these six steps to check that your bra feels comfortable and gives you the right support.

Step 1: Loosen the shoulder straps before putting on your bra

Loosen the shoulder straps

Lengthen the shoulder straps slightly before putting on your bra. You can adjust them properly at the end.

Step 2: Put your arms through the straps and position the cups

Put on your bra

Slip your arms through the straps and position the cups over your breasts.

Step 3: Fasten the bra hooks at the back

Fasten the hooks

Fasten the bra at the back. Ideally, a new bra should fit comfortably on the loosest set of hooks, leaving room to tighten it as the band stretches over time.

Step 4: Gently position all breast tissue inside the cups

Settle your breasts into the cups

Lean forwards slightly. Gently use your hand to bring the breast tissue from the sides and underneath fully into each cup.

Step 5: Check the fit of the cups and underwires

Check the cups

Your breasts should sit neatly inside the cups, without spilling over or leaving large gaps. If your bra has underwires, they should surround the breast tissue without pressing into it.

Step 6: Adjust the shoulder straps for comfort

Adjust the shoulder straps

Adjust the straps so they feel comfortable without digging in. The underband should provide most of the support.

LACE TIP

You're all set!

Your bra should feel secure and comfortable and support your breasts throughout the day. The underband should sit level all the way around your body, while the shoulder straps should neither slip nor dig in.
