What is the most common bra fit problem?

A band that is too loose is the most common fit problem. About 80% of bra support comes from the band, so a loose band means you are over-tightening straps and not getting proper support.

How do I fix quad boob?

Quad boob means your cup is too small. Go up one cup size while keeping the same band. If the band also feels snug, try a sister size one band up and one cup down.

Is it normal for underwire to poke?

No. Underwire should lie flat against your ribcage and fully encircle your breast tissue without digging in. Poking usually means the cup is too small, the wire is too narrow, or the band is too loose causing the bra to shift.

Why do my bra straps keep falling down?

Falling straps usually indicate a band that is too loose or straps that are set too wide for your shoulder shape. Try tightening the band first — it should sit firmly around your ribcage.
