Why am I Seeing Bra Gaps at the Top of Cups?
Wondering why there are bra gaps at the top of your cups? Read on to find the causes and remedies for this issue.
Bra gaps are quite common and the solution to this problem is equally easy, especially when you get to understand why it happens. For the most part, bra gaps are usually an indication that you are wearing the wrong bra size as the cups are probably too big. However, this can also happen if you are wearing the wrong type of bra for your breast shape.
Bra cup gaps can also happen if you’ve lost weight and experience a significant lose in the breast volume. Sometimes, it’s the straps that need to be adjusted.
Causes of Bra Gaps on Top of Cups
If you are seeing bra gaps at the top of cups, this typically means that your breasts rest on the lower part of the bra cups. You can try tightening and adjusting the straps to ensure the band doesn’t ride up the back but sits across the chest to fix this problem. The underband should be parallel to the front part of the bra and the ground too.
You can also try sizing down if the bra cups fit perfectly well but still gap. Here, you will need to go with a sister size of your current bra size. Check this sister size chart to know the right bra size to size down to.
Alternatively, choose a different type of bra style.
When wearing the correct bra size and style, the breast tissue is supposed to fill the entire cup and keep the breasts contained at the centre without spilling from the top and sides. In this case, push up and plunge bras will come in handy.

These bras have padded and molded cups that help fill out the cups effortlessly enhancing their shape and size. They also help create a gorgeous cleavage. For subtle lift, you can try out the Underline Laser No Wire Boost Bra and Refined 5-way Convertible Push Up Bra.
Everyone deserves a bra with a perfect fit. If the cups tend to gap, try to understand why it’s happening then invest in bras that will help you solve the problem.
