Which type of bra is best for a heavy bust?

Finding the perfect bra that fits you is one of the biggest struggles of women but this struggle becomes a huge, unclimbable hurdle for women with larger breasts. Despite having a wide spread of lingerie brands, many women with larger breasts still have difficulty in finding their cup size let alone a bra that provides the perfect balance of comfort, support and coverage. Furthermore, bras that have bigger cup sizes are expensive so buying a bra becomes a huge investment and most of the time that investment goes to waste because the bra doesn’t fit properly.

Thankfully, many brands are slowly becoming more inclusive and are widening their cup size range to cater to more women.

In order to provide ample support, many bras are designed to have special features to keep the breasts in place as well as to provide lift. Many bras for larger breasts are designed to have wide straps, wide sidebands/wings and larger cups. These special features will help provide better comfort and support.

  • Wide straps - helps in providing extra support and lessen shoulder strains when keeping the breasts in place
  • Wide Sidebands - helps with keeping the breasts from spillage. Larger breasts tend to have excess fat tissues that is why wide sidebands help tremendously in keeping those unwanted fat in place and smoothen out.
  • Larger Cups - a bra’s support comes from the cups not from the straps. Having bigger cups can help prevent spillage and keep the breasts in place especially when you do a lot of physical activities.
  • Fit - the biggest factor in finding the type of bra is how it fits you all around after making necessary adjustments to the bra. Fit is very important because it will determine the comfort and how much support a bra can provide you.

How to choose the perfect bra for your large breast?

Many women with larger breasts are afraid to venture out of their comfort zone especially when it comes to bra styles because they fear that their breasts will just have spillage which is not flattering at all.

The key to finding the perfect bra style is to ask yourself what you need when it comes to the different styles. Do you just need support? Or maybe just symmetry? Different bra styles offer a variety of functionality that can help you form an outfit or help you become more comfortable with bras.

Below is a recommendation list of 8 different bra styles for heavy or large breasts:
