Why Your Bra Is So Uncomfortable (And How to Fix It)
If your bra is digging, slipping, squeezing, poking or just ruining your day, you are NOT alone.
Most bra problems come from a few super common issues — and the good news?
They’re all fixable. 🙌
Let’s sort out the drama so you can get back to feeling supported, comfy and fabulous.
😖 1. You’re Wearing the Wrong Size
The Problem
This is the big one. If your bra feels awful, there’s a high chance the size is off.
Our bodies change constantly — hormones, weight, age, seasons… everything plays a part.
The Fix
Get a proper bra fitting.
Many lingerie brands (including us! 💕) offer fitting help so you can find your real size.
Your comfort = everything.
😣 2. Your Band Is the Real Culprit
The Problem
Too tight = digs in.
Too loose = zero support.
The Fix
Your band should be snug, straight and supportive.
You should be able to fit two fingers under it comfortably.

👉 Tutti Booster Bra – Luscious Liquorice
😬 3. Cup Issues (Spillage or Gapping)
The Problem
Too small = quad-boob city.
Too big = empty cup pockets.
The Fix
Your breasts should sit snugly inside the cups — no overflow and no gaps.
For a beautifully shaped cup, try:
👉 Gia Bralette & Brief Set – Sunburst Orange
👉 Maya Bralette & Brief Set – Vibrant Purple
😫 4. Strap Drama
The Problem
Digging or falling off? Your straps are either too tight or too loose.
The Fix
Adjust until they sit comfortably and stay in place — without acting like shoulder saws.

👉 Hallie Bralette & Brief Set – Midnight Black
🫣 5. Underwire Attacks
The Problem
If the wire is poking you, sliding around or digging in… instant misery.
The Fix
The underwire should sit flat against your ribcage and never pinch.
If wires never feel right, try a wire-free option like:
👉 Millie-Mae Crop Bralette Twin Pack
🤷♀️ 6. Wrong Style for Your Shape
The Problem
Not every style suits every bust shape.
That doesn’t mean your boobs are wrong — it means the bra is.
The Fix
Explore different styles until you find “the one.” Try:
-
Plunge for low necklines
-
Balconette for rounded lift
-
Full cup for coverage + support
-
Bralettes for comfort and everyday wear

😩 7. Itchy, Scratchy or Cheap Fabrics
The Problem
Some bras are made from materials that irritate the skin or lose structure quickly.
The Fix
Choose soft, breathable, high-quality fabrics.
Tutti Rouge is known for ultra-soft lace, smooth microfibre and supportive elastics — your skin will thank you.
🧵 8. Your Bra Is Just… Worn Out
The Problem
Bras don’t last forever. When elasticity goes, support goes with it.
The Fix
If your bra is stretched out, droopy or misshapen, it’s time to treat yourself.
Good news: you deserve new lingerie anyway 💁♀️
😖 9. Your Body Needs Something Different
The Problem
Skin sensitivities, back pain or hormonal changes can all affect bra comfort.
The Fix
If things feel “off,” talk to a healthcare professional or switch to softer, wire-free styles for a while.
🧼 10. You’re Washing Your Bras Wrong
The Problem
Hot water, harsh detergent and tumble-drying can destroy elastic and shape.
The Fix
-
Hand wash when possible
-
Use a lingerie bag on gentle cycle
-
Always air-dry
Your bras will last so much longer.
