Unfilled bottom of the cup...
In all my best fitting bras I get a small space of empty cup on the bottom, near the underwire. That makes it a non-fit by bratabase standards. And I agree that it would be better to have the cup completely filled.
But! I don't see a way around it. I think it has to do with the wire shape vs my root shape. My root is basically flat on the bottom, while the underwires are round, which means there will always be a gap there of unfilled cup.
Its something that isn't visible, with or without clothes, and I can only feel it if I put my finger on the gap.
The only problem I see is, on one bra where the unfilled space is a bit bigger, the cup seems to be sagging with use. It's still unoticeable under clothes, but it's annoying to know that's there.
I find it a problem worth sharing because it makes me sad to have some many 'doesn't fit' bras in my list, with bras that are actually a great fit, but I didn't want to lie on the checklist, and so I marked it "Can't quite fill it" on the bottom of the cup section.
Does anyone have the same problem? Do you think this makes it a bad fit?
Thanks for reading

My boobs are the same way! And, no, unless it's uncomfortable, I wouldn't consider this as making a bra not fit. If you click on the 'personal assessment' section after the regular fit check screen you can set a bra as fitting even when you have minor issues like this :).
Have you scooped and swooped correctly? Every time you put on a bra, you should try to pull the wires up and let them stay directly in your IMF.
If this doesn't work, there can be 2 shape mismatch possibilities: the cups are too shallow and the band is too tight at same time, or the cups are too narrow for you (orange in glass).
Or there can also be another possibility, the bra actually fits, but you have firm tissue and the straps are not adjusted short enough, so your tissue can push the bra down. In this case it can be very hard to wear a multiway bra without straps, but you can use clear straps to solve the problem.
