The Top 5 Myths About Bra Sizing (And Why They’re Holding You Back)
For too long, women have been fed misleading information about bras and sizing. These myths keep us stuck in discomfort, frustration, and sometimes even pain. At Bra Emporium, we’re here to set the record straight—and help you break free from these outdated ideas. Let’s bust the top five myths about bra sizing and uncover the truth.
Myth #1: “I’ve Always Been a [Insert Size Here].”
Truth: Bra sizes aren’t static. Your body changes over time due to factors like weight fluctuations, pregnancy, aging, and hormonal shifts. Sticking to the same size year after year often means wearing a bra that no longer fits. Regular fittings are key to staying comfortable and supported.
Myth #2: “A Bigger Band Size Means More Room in the Cups.”
Truth: Band size and cup size are interdependent. If you increase the band size, the cup size also changes. For example, a 36C cup is larger than a 34C cup. This misunderstanding leads many women to choose bras that don’t provide the support they need.
Myth #3: “D Cups Are Huge.”
Truth: Cup size alone doesn’t determine how “big” a bra is. The cup size is relative to the band size, meaning a 32D is much smaller in volume than a 40D. The stigma around certain cup sizes often leads women to avoid trying bras that might actually fit perfectly.
Myth #4: “Bras Are Supposed to Be Uncomfortable.”
Truth: A properly fitted bra should feel comfortable and supportive all day long. If your straps dig, your band rides up, or your underwire pokes, it’s a sign that your bra doesn’t fit correctly. Comfort isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.
Myth #5: “I Can Find My Size by Measuring at Home.”
Truth: While measuring yourself can provide a starting point, it’s not a substitute for a professional fitting. Every brand and style fits differently, and only an expert can help you navigate those variations to find what works best for your unique shape.
