Are you wearing the right bra size?
Studies show eight out of 10 women wear the wrong bra size. Use our Bra Finder (with measuring Instructions) to find the right bra for you.
Do your bra straps cut into your shoulders?
If so, you may be over-tightening the straps. Loosen them to relieve the strain. Or switch to a bra with Comfort Straps® designed to ease pressure and dig-in.

What is the advantage of an underwire?
Underwires help relieve shoulder stress from bra straps by adding support below the breast. Underwires also provide shaping, for an attractive lift and look. Try one of America's favorite full-figure underwire bras - Flower Bali.
How do you give a small bust a boost?
Wear our Wonderbra® push-up bras. Wonderbra's cleverly angled cups offer padded or lightly lined lift to gently enhance your cleavage ... for your sexiest curves ever!

Does your bust spill out over the top of your bra or bulge under the cups?
If so, your bra cups are too small; go up one cup size (but be sure to keep the same band size).
What does it mean if your bra protrudes in the center and doesn't lie flat against your chest?
This means you are wearing a bra that is too small. Try a larger cup size.

Do you have wrinkles in your cups at the top or sides?
Then your bust is not filling out the cup properly; try a smaller cup size.
Is your underwire uncomfortable?
The underwire should gently surround your bust and should not pinch or poke. If it does, try a larger cup size or one of Bali's patented No Poke Wire bras that eliminate poke through and dig-in.

Does the back of your bra ride up higher than the front?
If so, your band is too loose, you should tighten the band and loosen the straps. If that doesn't help, you should try a smaller band size. Remember the lower the back of the bra fits, the more support you get.
How do you prevent your bra straps from slipping off of your shoulders?
Tighten your straps or choose from our many bras with no-slip grippers or set-in straps. Look for Bali No-Slip Straps and Playtex styles with Stay-Put straps that "Stop the Slip™".

How do you prevent your bust line from sagging?
Try shortening the straps; if your bust line still sags you may need a smaller cup size or try a firm support style with rigid straps.
Does the band of your bra dig in?
A bra that fits correctly should be snug but not tight. Try a larger band size or a bra with a wider band.

What if one of my breasts is larger than the other?
This is a common problem among women. Always fit the larger breast. Choose styles with stretch fabric in the cups or padded cups. You can also adjust the strap of the larger breast looser than the strap of the smaller breast.
What is the best way to put on shapewear?
Gather the garment from the legs to the waist. Step into the legs and pull up. When the bottom is seated correctly, unroll the garment over the torso.

How often should you be fitted for a bra?
You should be fit for a bra at least once a year. You should also be fit if you gain or loose weight, during pregnancy, after childbirth, during menopause and if you begin an exercise program.
How should you care for your bras?
It is important to launder bras regularly; natural body oils build up and can reduce elasticity in the bra. Always attach the hook and eyes before washing to prevent garments from getting tangled or snagged. Place bras in a lingerie wash bag and wash on the delicate cycle if machine washing. And NEVER place a bra in the dryer - always lay flat to dry.
