In order to find a well-fitting bra you should also take into account the consistency and form of your breasts. Is the tissue soft or firm, the volume in the lower or upper part? How wide is the cleavage? For breast with a narrow cleavage the separator shouldn’t be too high. For breast with a wide cleavage a high separator is recommended, otherwise you breast may easily fall out of the bra, especially when you have a soft bosom. You should then refrain from wearing plunge bras. Go for a balconette bra or full cups instead. If you have small, firm and wide breasts, you should go for half cups with wide wires instead.

Once you’ve put on your bra, lean over and let the breasts fall into your cups. Then stroke the tissue from the sides into the cups, so that they will hold the entire breast. When the underband is horizontal, offering the right support, the cup is well-filled, nothing spills out at the sides or on top, the separator lies tight on your sternal and the straps don’t slip, then – yay! – you have have found a fitting bra.

Bras for Men

The quest for a well-fitting bra becomes even more challenging when you’re a man. Some guidance for you, gentlemen.

Sometimes it may occur that due to overweight, massive weight loss or a hormonal imbalance (too much estrogen and/or too little testosterone) men boobs are being developed. Then it can even be reasonable for men to wear a bra as it supports the tissue and prevents inconvenient skin fraction. Other men may just have a love for beautiful lingerie and want to appear very feminine. Which bra is right for you depends on several factors. Learn now what to look out for when buying a bra for yourself.

What are your measurements?

Breath in and measure the scope of your chest, horizontally, below your breasts. Then substract two inches. This is the size of your underbust band. If you are between two sizes, choose the smaller one. Now measure your bust girth. The tape measure must be run horizontally across your nipples. Then substract the your chest girth from your bust girth. The difference between these two sizes determines your cup size. You can now figure it out with the following chart:

What’s the purpose of your bra?

When your breasts are only little, but you’d like to give them some support and form, you should get a bustier or sports bra. A tight sports bra can stabilize your breast and make it look flatter.

When your breasts are bigger and you don’t want to hide them but form them or even emphasize them, you can buy a wired bra. It may take you a little getting used to wearing this kind of bra because of the wires.

A similar effect can be achieved with a soft bra (non wired). It will form as well, but it is more comfortable than a bra with wires. The support is not as strong as that of a wired bra, though.

When you’re flat and you’d like to fake breasts, you can try a mastectomy bra. They come with pockets for foam breast prosthetics. There are a couple of cute mastectomy bras on the market that will give you nice curves. Or you can try one of these: Transwonder

Men should look out for bra models for the small wide breast. Half cups are perfect, because they don’t reach up so high and can be filled more easily. Some British brands like Panache, Cleo, Masquerade und Freya produce wide-wired bras.

Where can I find bras in men sizes?

Since men’s chests are usually bulkier than those of women, it may be difficult to find something suitable in regular shops. You should better browse the internet or try special lingerie shops. Women with unsual sizes do the same. Especially in the beginning when you are still uncertain about you size, online orders are recommendable. This way you can try everything on at home and send it back when it doesn’t fit.
