Why do my bras leave red marks?

Bras leave red marks primarily due to pressure and friction when support concentrates in the wrong places, often stemming from fit issues where the band is too tight or loose, straps work overtime, or cups don't match your shape properly.

Heat and moisture can intensify this problem by increasing friction, particularly in the under-bust area where skin-on-skin contact traps sweat and creates irritation.

While light, temporary imprints that fade within minutes are normal after wearing any fitted garment, persistent or painful marks signal that your bra isn't distributing pressure effectively across your torso.

Honeylove's wireless bras are engineered to combat this issue through features like the signature bonded cradle that replaces rigid underwires, smoothing wings that spread pressure over a larger surface area, and premium stretch materials with flat seams designed to minimize friction against your skin.

If red marks persist, use our bra size calculator to confirm you're wearing the proper bra size.
