I ALWAYS get chaffing and pain near my armpits. It doesn’t matter whether I’m wearing a plunge, balconette, strapless etc. I believe the Straps may be too wide, but yet i need wide cups for my wide set breasts. The only time this does not occur is when I’m wearing a bra that is many sizes too small.

Besides this, I always experience pain with side boning. In which the boning would curl and dig into my skin.

This is so painful. Every now and then i gotta just place my finger where the boning digs in because of how painful it is.

Most bras seem to be too shallow for me at the bottom, such that the fabric is struggling to accommodate the amount of breast tissue.

Any recommendations? This post may seem really random, bur this is pretty much a summary of my top few bra pains as of late. Let me know your thoughts, and recommendations if any.

  • Random thoughts from me (I have a very prominent breast muscle and many bras cut into the muscle near my armpit...): Lepel Fiore Plunge, Comexim, Ewa M Style (PL and the Halfcups work for me, too, but they are a bit more difficult), B temptd Ciao Bella, Marks and Spencer Plunge, old and discontiued Cleo Christina, jessie, Jolie, Ariane, ...Sawren (I have only tested their unpadded style), Freya Halfcups but they are shallow, Fauve Halfcups, Figleaves home brand but some styles are just cut nightmares otherwise.

  • Hopefully those bra problems will be a thing of the past once you are wearing bras that are the right size for you!
