The only constant in life is change. The same is true of bodies and bra fitting. We\u2019re always getting questions about how body changes impact bra fit. Most often this is in the context of, “Will my bra size change when I lose weight?” But you\u2019ve also asked us how or if things like pregnancy, a new weightlifting hobby, or health issues will impact the fit of your bra. Our answer is usually something like, \u201cMaybe?\u201d And it pleases literally no-one. But we\u2019re not being vague on purpose! It\u2019s just that we genuinely can\u2019t know for sure how that bra will fit when your body changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every body is different.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Each body is unique and unpredictable, and you\u2019re the only expert on yours. There are some general assumptions we can make with regards to bra fit and body changes – for example, during pregnancy – but whether you\u2019re losing weight or gaining, we can\u2019t predict exactly what your boobs will do. Some people will notice a difference in their band size (rib circumference), some in their cup size (bust measurement), and some see a change in both or neither.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Should you buy what fits your current body, or your future body?<\/span><\/h4>\n

With the exception of maternity and nursing bras<\/a>, I tend to recommend buying what fits you now. Buying a bra that fits the body you have means you\u2019ll get better support and probably be more comfortable. If you anticipate that your size will change, usually the best course of action is to plan a re-fit for a couple of months down the road. While you\u2019re in transition, you can keep costs down by having two bras in rotation. That way you have one to wear while the other\u2019s being washed, but you\u2019re not splashing out on a ton of pieces that may not fit in a couple of months. Get re-fit for two new ones when your size changes again. When your size stabilizes, then you can build a bigger bra wardrobe<\/a> if you want.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hack your bra!<\/span><\/h4>\n

There are ways to get more wear out of your bras when your size is fluctuating. If you\u2019re finding the band a little tight, throw on an extender for more breathing room. And if the band\u2019s loose, you can wear it on a tighter set of hooks or have it altered<\/a>. These are great options when the cups of your bra are still fitting well! Unfortunately, if the cups are on the roomy side or giving you quad-boob, there\u2019s not really a fix for that. If you know that your boobs go up and down in size, try to choose bras that have some stretch at the top of the cup. It won\u2019t cover big changes, but it\u2019ll give you more wiggle room than a firmer fabric.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bodies are complicated, and bra fitting\u2019s not much simpler. But with the right support and a little flexibility, change doesn\u2019t have to be stressful.<\/span><\/p>\n
