How should a properly fitting bra feel?

A properly fitting bra should feel secure, supportive, and comfortable throughout your day, delivering the coverage and support you need without any conscious awareness of wearing it. The band provides about 80% of your support through a firm, steady embrace around your ribcage that stays level as you move. You should be able to slide one to two fingers underneath comfortably, and it should pass the arms-up test by staying in place when you raise your arms.

Your breasts sit fully contained within the cups with smooth edges and no spillage or gaping, while straps rest gently on your shoulders without digging in or slipping — they stabilize rather than carry the weight.

Most importantly, a well-fitted bra allows you to move freely through your day without shifting, pinching, or requiring constant readjustment.
