Finding the Right Women's Bra

The right women's bra is more than just an undergarment – it's a confidence booster, a fashion statement, and a key component of your daily wardrobe.

Did you know that 80% of women wear the wrong bra size? Everyone's body shape is different but everyone deserves comfort and support throughout the day. That's why Kohl's is your one-stop-shop for all of your essential bras and undergarments. Our selection of underclothes includes many different options to fit your style. Choose from the latest brands you love like Bali bras, Playtex bras, and Jockey underwear.

Truth is, your bra size has likely changed throughout your life. So, whether you're looking to simply replace your worn out brassieres or make the transition to more comfortable bras, we're here to give you a better idea of what to look for while searching for your best-fitting bra.

Signs You're Wearing the Wrong Bra Size

Even though women of all ages buy and wear bras, it seems that few people discuss the importance of a bra fitting. It's important to wear the correct band and cup size for maximum comfort and support. If you often feel uncomfortable in your bras, you may be wearing the wrong size. Luckily, we're here to help. Let's take a look at a few signs that it might be time for a different size:

  1. The bra straps dig into your shoulders and leave painful marks.
  2. You are constantly readjusting your bra throughout the day.
  3. The band feels too tight or too loose.
  4. You have uncomfortable underwire over your breasts.
  5. There are gaps in the bra cups.
  6. Your breasts overflow out of the bra cups.
  7. You can't move around freely.

Finding Your Bra Size

There's nothing worse than wearing straps that are too tight or struggling with an uncomfortable band. Finding a quality bra that offers a high level of comfort and support is crucial to ensuring lasting comfort all day long. If you don't know what size bra you wear, then you may need to go in for a professional fitting.

Step 1: Measure your band size

Take a snug measurement around your rib cage, directly under your bust and level around your body. Round to the nearest inch.

Step 2: Measure your cup size

Take a loose measurement over the fullest part of your bust, keeping tape level around your body. Round to the nearest inch.
