If you have breasts with upper fullness (sometimes called full on top) breasts, it can be hard to find a bra style that contains your tissue properly.  Many bras will cut across the top of your chest, leading to the dreaded "quadraboob" effect.  Others will gap at the bottom, because you don't have enough breast tissue at the bottom of your breast to fill out the bra. You can tell if you are full on top by bending over (with the upper part of your body straight and parallel to the floor) and looking at where your breasts fall on your body. If you have more tissue on top, and the nipples are facing toward  your stomach, you are likely full on top. The best bra styles for full on top breasts will have one of several features.  First, a bra with a vertical seam in the cup will help give you more lift and raise your breasts up from the bottom (helping with the gapping).  Next, is a balconette style.  Since there is less material on top, and the neckline is a sw...

Cotton bras are not technically a fit issue, but finding one is a problem, especially if you have large breasts or are full-figured.  Most of the bras that are available are limited to smaller sizes or nursing bras.  It's extremely frustrating! This has been a particular gripe of mine for years.  I live in a place where summers are hot and sticky (we refer to the bad days as "3H" days: hazy, hot, and humid). Wearing a standard non-breathable bra under these conditions is torturous.   The new 3D and spacer bras do help (and are certainly better than their non-breathable cousins), but in my opinion, the very best option is cool, comfortable cotton. I've organized these by figure type, with options for larger women, bras with no underwire, front closure bras, and a few designed for women with sensitive skin.   I've also fit notes (of course).  Don't want to stray too far away from the primary focus of this blog!

Let's face it, age and gravity, breastfeeding, or even your natural shape can mean that your breasts are not quite where you want them to be. This can also be an issue if you have a large, heavy bust. A bra can't prevent or reverse sagging breasts (you would need surgery for that), but it can help lift them and reduce the saggy appearance.  If you're sagging without a bra, these bras will give you more lift.  One thing though, if you sag even when you're wearing a bra, your band is loose, and the front of the bra pulls away from your chest, it may be time for a new one. High quality bras can last for years if they're rotated regularly (don't wear the same one every day or every other day, give them time to rest), but eventually even the best bra will start to stretch and lose its elasticity.  Once it does, it's no longer giving you the support you need, and you won't feel comfortable wearing it, as it will start to slide around on your body. If you want...
