32% of women told us their band digs in - this is a sign that your underband is too small, and you should go up a band size. Remember, if your cups fit fine, you will need to go down a cup size to keep the volume in the cups the same.

22%of women told us that their breasts did not fill the cups in their bra, leaving gaps. This indicates that your cup size is too big and you need to go down a size. If you have asymmetric breasts or a difference in size between the two, fit your bra to the larger cup and add padding if needed to the smaller. If your band is also not fitting properly, you may need to adjust this too.

33%of women who
took our Bra Size Quiz said they experienced chafing. and 55% of them bought their sports bra more than 6 months ago. Chafing from an old sports bra indicates that a bra has lost its elasticity and the materials have lost effectiveness. Updating your sports bra at least once a year means you will always be supported and comfortable for your workout.
If you are experiencing chafing on a new bra, we suggest trying a different style for your shape. If you have chafing under your arms, try a bra that isn't as high at the sides. If your underband chafes, try a band size down or a bra with an underband further below the breast fold. If your straps are what are giving you discomfort and rubbing, this indicates the band is too big and the weight of your breasts is being held up by the straps.
