Wearing a well-fitted bra not only enhances your appearance but also provides comfort and support throughout the day. At Soma Intimates, their mission is to help every woman feel confident and comfortable in her own skin. That’s why they offer a range of bras with different styles, sizes, and fits to cater to every woman’s unique needs. Here is the ultimate guide to finding the perfect bra fit at Soma Intimates.

  1. Measure yourself accurately

The first and most crucial step in finding the perfect bra fit is to measure yourself accurately. Soma Intimates offers a free bra fitting service to help you determine your correct size. However, if you prefer to measure yourself at home, here’s how you can do it:

  • Start by wearing your most comfortable bra and a non-padded top.
  • Use a soft measuring tape and measure around your ribcage, just below your bust, to get your band size.
  • To get your cup size, measure around the fullest part of your bust and subtract your band measurement from this number.

Once you have your measurements, you can use Soma Intimates’ size chart to find the perfect bra size.

  1. Choose the right bra style

Soma Intimates offers a range of bra styles, each designed to cater to different needs. Here are some of the popular styles and their unique features:

  • Full Coverage Bra: This style provides maximum coverage and support, making it an ideal choice for women with larger busts. It also helps to prevent spillage and creates a smooth silhouette under clothing.
  • T-Shirt Bra: This style is perfect for everyday wear and creates a seamless look under fitted tops. It has lightly padded cups that provide a natural shape and prevent nipple show-through.
  • Strapless Bra: This style has no straps and is designed to stay put on its own. It’s a great choice for off-shoulder tops and dresses.
  • Sports Bra: This style is designed to provide maximum support and prevent bounce during physical activities. It’s a must-have for all active women.

Choose a bra style that caters to your unique needs and complements your wardrobe.

  1. Check the fit

Once you have chosen a bra style, it’s essential to try it on and check the fit. Here’s how you can ensure the bra fits perfectly:

  • The band should be snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit two fingers under the band without it riding up.
  • The cups should provide full coverage without any spillage or gaps. The underwire should sit flat against your chest, and the center gore should lie flat against your sternum.
  • The straps should be adjusted to provide comfort and support. They should not dig into your shoulders or slip off.

If the bra doesn’t fit perfectly, try a different size or style until you find the one that works best for you.

  1. Take care of your bras

Once you find the perfect bra, it’s essential to take care of it to ensure it lasts longer. Here are some tips on how to care for your bras:

  • Always hand-wash your bras in cold water and mild detergent. Avoid using the dryer as it can damage the bra’s fabric and elastic.
  • Store your bras properly by folding them or hanging them on a bra hanger. Avoid squishing them in a drawer as it can damage their shape.
  • Rotate your bras to ensure they last longer. Avoid wearing the same bra every day, as it can wear out the elastic and reduce its lifespan.
