Ladies, aren’t we all absolutely frustrated when we have to deal with bra fit issues, especially when your bra bulge is popping out in every direction, that seems like they’re playing ‘peek-a-boo’ with you when you stare in the mirror, trying to fit into that sexy new bra you planned to wear for your better half tonight! Ah, what a mood dampener!
Also known as ‘bra fat’, bra bulge might seem like a minor annoyance, but for many, it’s a constant reminder of the discomfort and insecurity that can come with finding the right bra fit.
There are a lot of reasons which can cause bra bulge. Let’s decode tips to tackle the issue for all bust types, and, more importantly, how to kiss them goodbye!
What Causes Bra Bulge?
Bra bulge is the excess skin or fat in the back and underarm area that appears around the edges of a bra, resulting in noticeable bulges when wearing fitted clothing or bras.
The first step to addressing bra bulge is to figure out what’s causing it in the first place. Some of the culprits that contribute to the development of bra fat are:
- Genetics
Genetics largely determine where your body stores excess fat. Depending on the person, the fat will go to stubborn areas like their hips, thighs, arms, belly, love handles, and back. So, you probably have the genetics to store body fat in your back area and underarm areas. - Weight distribution
The process of gaining and losing weight can lead to changes in fat distribution throughout the body, including the back and underarm area. - Wearing the wrong size bra
Too tight a bra size can cause a bulge by pushing the skin and fat outward, creating lumps and bumps. Meanwhile, an oversized bra lacks the structure to hold tissues in place, allowing them to sag.
Why Bra Bulge Fat Affects Both Small-Busted And Big-Busted Women
Women with big boobs and small boobs may encounter different challenges, but they also share common struggles when it comes to bras and body-image.
For Small-Busted Women:
- Loose-fitting bras can gape or shift, leading to unwanted bulges.
- Supportive styles are often limited for smaller sizes.
For Big-Busted Women:
- Insufficient cup or band coverage can cause spillage over the bra edges.
- The weight of the bust can place extra strain on the skin and tissue.
Bra bulge is not limited to any specific body size; it is primarily caused by an improper bra fit rather than the size of the individual.
Say Bye-Bye To Bra Fat!
Bra fat can make many women self-conscious when wearing clothing or swimming suits that reveal this back area. Some avoid wearing open-back clothing altogether because of the unflattering underarm bra fat. This can happen to both big-busted and small-busted ladies. But the good news is you can get rid of it.
For Small-Busted Women
- Opt for padded-cup bras to add shape and volume, creating a natural, rounded appearance under clothing.
- Choose seamless bras with a snug fit for better contouring
For Big-Busted Women
- Invest in full-coverage bras with wide side panels and underwire to smooth out side bulges.
- Opt for bras with adjustable straps and reinforced seams for better hold and support.
- Use bra extenders to relieve pressure from a tight band.
