By now we should know that one size does not fit all, and particularly when it comes to our bras this couldn’t be further from the truth.
For the girlies that have bigger busts, not just any bra will do. Which is why it is imperative to find the best of the best.
Let’s be real, being well-endowed comes with its set of challenges but that doesn’t mean anyone should settle for the ill-fitting, uncomfortable and unflattering when it comes to shopping for bras.
There are a couple of key factors to look for when on the hunt for the perfect bra:
Fits Like A Glove
- Ensure you are wearing the correct bra size. Many women wear the wrong size without even realising it. Get professionally measured, or measure yourself accurately to find the right band and cup size.
Support In All The Right Places
- A firm and supportive band is the foundation of a good bra for big busts. It should sit comfortably against your ribcage without digging in or riding up. Underwire bras can also offer additional support for larger busts.
- Look for bras with wide, padded straps to distribute the weight of your bust evenly. This helps prevent shoulder strain and discomfort.
Adjust To Your Liking
- Bras with adjustable straps and multiple hook-and-eye closures allow you to customise the fit to suit your needs, ensuring maximum comfort.
We understand the search for the perfect bra is not an easy task, so we’ve scoured the internet to find our top picks for various occasions and styles. It’s time to bid farewell to the bra mediocrity and say hello to a world where comfort meets style in every cup.

How do I choose a bra size for heavy breasts?
Look for full-cup coverage when it comes to finding the perfect bra when you have a heavy bust. Ideally, you want to be fully supported and not like you’re ‘falling out’ or spilling from your bra. A wide bottom and side band can add extra support and thicker shoulder straps will help to mitigate painful shoulders.
