How do I choose a bra for heavy breasts?

The best bras for heavy breasts are high support bras. The most supportive bras are full coverage underwire bras, minimizer bras, and high support sports bras.

From a fit perspective, make sure your band fits first and foremost. The majority of the bra's support comes from the band, so this will be key to getting the most out of your bra. The band should be snug but not tight. It shouldn't create red marks or bulges. Look for bands that are wide, ideally with smoothing wings at the sides and back.

Next, ensure the straps are wide and supportive. Straps that are too thin may dig in or slide off the shoulders. Look for adjustable straps that have plush cushioning at the back for an ideal wear experience.

Lastly, make sure the bra offers enough support. This can be accomplished by full coverage cups, reinforced sides, and sturdy underwire or wire-free lift (such as bonding).
