Let’s be honest—bras are one of the most important pieces in our wardrobe, yet they’re often the most misunderstood. At Bra Necessities, we see it every day: women struggling with discomfort, poor support, and styles that just don’t flatter. We call them BRA-blems—and we’re on a mission to fix them.
From poking wires to riding bands, we’ve heard it all. And after more than a decade of helping women find bras they actually love to wear, we know that the right fit can change everything—how you look, how you feel, even how you carry yourself.
Let’s take a look at some of the most common BRA-blems and how a professional bra fitting can solve them once and for all.
1. Poking Wires
There’s nothing more irritating than an underwire that digs in or shifts throughout the day. This is usually a sign that your bra isn’t the right size or shape for your body.
The fix: A well-fitted bra has wires that frame your breast tissue—not poke it. Our expert fitters will help you find a style where the wire sits flat and comfortably against your chest, giving you the lift and shape you deserve.
2. A Band That Rides Up
If your bra band is creeping up your back, it’s doing the opposite of what it should. A riding band means the band is too loose to support you properly.
The fix: The band is the anchor of your bra. It should feel snug (but not tight) and sit level all the way around. We’ll make sure your bra gives you the secure support you need—no more tugging or adjusting.
3. Poor Support
Feeling droopy or unsupported? You’re not alone. A lack of support can cause back pain, poor posture, and frustration.
The fix: Whether you're full-busted or not, we specialize in supportive bras that lift, shape, and balance your silhouette. You’ll leave with bras that feel as good at the end of the day as they did when you put them on.
4. Bulging or Spillage
That dreaded bulge under your arms or over the cups? It’s not your body—it’s your bra.
The fix: Spillage is often caused by a too-small cup or a cut that doesn’t match your natural shape. We’ll find a bra style that works with your body, smoothing and shaping without squeezing or squishing.
5. An Unflattering Style
Just because it fits doesn’t mean it flatters. A bra that doesn’t complement your shape or outfit can chip away at your confidence.
The fix: During your fitting, we’ll help you explore styles and colours that align with your shape, wardrobe, and personal taste. You’ll leave with bras you’re excited to wear—yes, even the everyday ones.
