Problem: Band size not right
How to check? Lift your arms over your head and check if
the band of the bra remains in place on your midriff. If the
band rides up your back, the band size is probably too big.
If your breasts are falling out of the bottom of the bra, you
should be going down a band size. Your bra should be fitted
snug and tight to your body without cutting or digging in.
You should be able to put one finger under the front band.
Problem: Straps are digging in
How to check? Try loosening your straps. If you notice a
great change in how your bust falls forward, your bra is
probably too loose and isn’t fitting right. When straps dig in,
this is because they are being forced to hold more weight
than they were designed to support. You need a bra with
better design and more support – one that lifts the tissue
from underneath the breast, instead of one that pulls the
tissue from the shoulder straps above.
Problem: Insufficient support from the bra
How to check? Check underneath the breast for rashes, or
skin “tags” which can be caused by viruses. This is often the
result of a bra that doesn’t fit properly. Instead, TAB lifts the
bulk of the breast tissue upwards, instead allowing the
breast to “sweat” against the abdomen. Many underwire
bras cannot properly lift the tissue located in front of their
underwires. In contrast, the TAB bra has a shelf which
restores the natural position of the breast tissue. This allows
lifting support for the entire breast, while absorbing and
wicking moisture away.
Problem: Incorrect cup size
How to check? With the bra on, examine the sizes of the bra
cup. Is your breast overflowing out of the cup? If the bra is
digging in or the tissue is spilling out of the cup, you
probably need a larger cup size. Many women have
different size breasts and the measurement can alter
slightly. Overlfowing cupsUnderwires can dig into the bottom
and sides of the breast if the bra is not fitted properly. This
can cause problems for both lymphatic drainage and proper
breast health.

Sizing (Band Size): To determine your
band size, lift your arms above your head
and measure your midriff snugly (beneath
the bust). Make sure your measuring tape
is parallel to the floor and across the small
of your back. Wear T-shirt weight
material.
Sizing (Cup Size): To determine your
cup size, take another measurement at
the fullest part of the bust with your arms
down by your side. Do not wear a padded
bra. This measurement may vary if you
have two different size breasts (this is very
common).
Calculate the difference of the two
measurements, and use this list to
determine your correct bra size. For
example, if you measure 34 around your
midriff and you measure 40 around the
fullest size of your breast, you would wear
a 34 EE.
Remember, our bras are measured
differently than most store-bought bras.
These sizes are estimates and can vary
especially if there is alot of breast tissue
under the arms or in the back.

First Measurement - Meaure beneath
the bust. This will be the band size.
Second Measurement - Take a second
measurement at the fullest part of the bust.
Using the difference between the two, use
