How to Prevent Bra from Riding Up in Front When You Lift Your Arms

Here are some ways of preventing the band from rolling up for ultimate breast support:

• 1. Go down a band size

If the bra rides up the front when you lift your arms, you need a bra with a smaller band to fix the fit problem. The band should do the most in terms of support. It should provide at least 80% of it. You are not supposed to depend on the cups and straps for support. If the band doesn’t fit snugly, you’ll have to keep pulling your bra down all through the day.

Most women usually wear the wrong size, going down or up a size. What we mean is to get the sister size of the bra. As a result, their overall bra fit is affected. If you have to replace your bras after every one or two months of wearing, get those that fit well and are comfortable.

If you have to keep pulling your bra down, you can fix this problem is going down a band size. Getting a bra with a smaller band or a bigger cup size will help keep the band in place throughout the day.

Remember, the bra size is usually a guide and not necessarily a constant number. When shopping for bras, choose different bra styles and try them on to get the right fit. You can also get measured by a professional if you have trouble finding the right bra size.

You don’t have to settle for the wrong size, your breasts deserve better!

Women with larger breasts should always go for strapless bras with plastic boning in the band for ultimate support. The boning also helps to avoid the embarrassment that comes with having to pull the bra down every time.
