Why does my bra dig into my armpits?

Bras dig into your armpits when the fit, shape, or style creates pressure points where your garment meets your underarm area. This discomfort typically stems from underwires or cup edges that sit too high at the sides, cups that don't match your breast shape (causing tissue to spill toward the arms or creating excess space), a band that rides up and shifts the entire bra forward, or straps positioned too wide that rest directly in the armpit fold.

To prevent this, look for bras with lower side coverage, ensuring your band provides stable support (so straps don't over-tighten and pull cups upward), and selecting styles engineered with smoothing wings rather than tall, rigid wires, like Honeylove's CloudEmbrace Bra.
