Didn't fit

Well, I purchased a Hunkemoller bra again because I'm really curious about the fitting of strapless bras. I've heard before that a lot of people can hardly fit in strapless bras, so today I'm going to write a protocol about one of them.

For a good fit, I think it's necessary to choose a strapless bra that has wider and more projected cups than regular bras. Otherwise it may cut into breast tissue under armpits. This bra is pretty wide and projected, it has 15.0 cm cup width and 23.7 cm cup depth. However the cups still get folded after I’ve jumped around the room. I guess the main cause is my firm tissue. Without the straps, the padded cups can't compress my firm boobs properly. But luckily this bra is multiway. As I put the straps on and tried it again, this issue disappeared.

The band of this bra can be stretched to 77.9 cm. I feel it is really tight but I don't consider it as a problem. Because all the weight of boobs should be supported by the band of strapless bras. The center gore is 8.1 cm tall and 2.0 cm wide at top. I think it is relatively wide for me but still can be tolerated.

Generally this bra is ok to wear. I love the bright colour and can also get some transparent straps to avoid the folding at cup bottom. However I prefer a cleavagy look, so I don't like the center gore very much. What do you think, shall I keep it or return it back, or do you have some other strapless bras to recommend? Just add a comment below and let me know.

This bra is not owned any more

    As is always the answer with bras, it depends on your preference and comfort.

    If you prefer cleavage with your strapless tops, how often will you really wear this bra? Unless you absolutely need to go strapless soon, I'd recommend returning it and finding one that better fits your needs/wants.

    I bought a strapless bra (big, ugly, but held them up) years ago and never wore it . Waste of money. All the strapless tops and dresses that I wanted to wear it with, you could see the top of the bra. I had also wanted a more cleavage-y look. Ended up with the Neve strapless to meet that need.

    If you have firm tissue or fibrous tissue, you will almost always get folding in a molded cup. As long as it is still supportive and looks the way you want it to under shirts, you can work with it. If you ever find one that doesn't fold (and isn't the Luxe) PLEASE let me know!

    I would keep it based on look.
    I love the comment about jumping around the room. Because honestly, who doesn't do that from time to time.

    Love the color, and the clear straps is a great idea. It looks good on you. I personally haven’t found a strapless that didn’t annoy the heck out of me, or try to slide down my body. I’ve given up on strapless bras and now only buy a strapless, backless, stick on bra cup bra that has the lace up front to pull boobs together for more cleavage, or not. Now that I’ve found that, I’ll never wear a strapless bra again.

  • Happy2BraShop which stick on bra do you like? I'm considering getting one too, as I've given up on strapless bras.

  • Thanks for the suggestions. Have already returned it back because a better alternative was founded. I've tried my one year old 70F Change Nadine Multiway again, I like the design better and now it can also work better on me than one year ago. The only fit problem is just the over stretched band. But luckily there is a big sale in their online store currently and all the goods are 50% off. So my next bra is Nadine Multiway in 65G, and I will also buy the transparent straps and have a trial with them on, hope this bra can fit perfectly.
