A well-fitting bra should feel comfortable, supportive, and secure all day. It shouldn’t pinch, dig, or shift when you move. At Luva Huva, every design is made to fit beautifully, using soft, sustainable fabrics that work with your body, not against it.
If you’re not sure of your size, start with our guide on how to measure your bra size. Once you know your size, use these tips to check your fit.
1. The Band
The band does most of the support work.
- It should sit flat and snug around your ribcage, not ride up your back.
- You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably under the band.
- If it feels too loose on the tightest hook, try a smaller band size.
2. The Cups
Your breasts should sit fully inside the cups without gaps or bulges.
- Gaping means the cup is too big.
- Spilling over the top or sides means it’s too small.
- The centre gore (the part between the cups) should lie flat against your chest.
3. The Straps
Straps should sit securely on your shoulders without digging in or slipping.
- If they leave marks, they’re too tight.
- If they fall down, tighten them slightly or try a smaller band size for better anchor support.
4. The Underwire (If You Wear It)
Underwire should frame your breasts, not press against them.
- It should rest flat against your ribcage and never dig into tissue.
- If it pokes out or sits away from your body, the cup size may be too small.
5. Movement and Comfort
Lift your arms, bend forward, and move naturally. A good bra won’t shift or need constant adjustment. The right fit feels almost invisible. You should forget you’re wearing it.
