How to Put On a Bra Properly

1. Place your breasts into the cups.

2. Slip on the straps.

3. Position the underwires so they sit right underneath your breasts.

4. Hold the band in place.

5. When wearing a new bra, always fasten it on the loosest hooks.

6. With your opposite hand, scoop and position each breast evenly inside the cup.

7. Adjust the straps — the distance between the cup and your body is fine-tuned with strap length.

Check your fit with these control points:

1. Band fit — A new bra should always be fastened on the loosest hooks so you can tighten it over time.

2. Straps — They should support your bust without digging into your shoulders, carrying about 15–20% of the weight.

3. Underwire placement — The wire should sit just behind the soft tissue of the breast, not on it.

4. Center gore (the bridge between the cups) — It should lie flat against your body (except in certain plunge styles designed for deep necklines).
