A TikTok video is making waves, with viewers realizing they’ve been wearing the wrong bra size for years. Kenzie, a former lingerie brand employee, went viral after sharing simple bra-fitting tips that could drastically improve comfort and support.
In her video, Kenzie claimed that “80% of you watching this video are wearing the wrong bra size.” Her advice has resonated with many, with some viewers expressing their gratitude in the comments: “This is super helpful! Great video, thank you!”
Finding the right-fitting bra can be challenging. Common complaints include cups that gape or feel too tight and underwires that dig into the skin. According to Kenzie, these issues usually stem from incorrect sizing, not bad-quality bras.
Her first tip focuses on the importance of the band. “The band should sit parallel to the small of your back, and you shouldn’t be able to pull it out more than two inches,” Kenzie explained. She also recommends fastening a new bra on the loosest hook since the fabric will stretch over time.
Next, Kenzie explains the relationship between band size and cup size. She shared, “As your band size changes, so does your cup size. For every band size you go down, you should go up in cup size.” If the underwire pinches or your breasts spill out of the cup, the cup size is likely too small. If there’s gaping or sagging, it may be too large.
Kenzie also debunked the myth that bra straps provide the most support. “It’s your cups and your band doing the heavy lifting,” she emphasized.
Lastly, Kenzie advised choosing the right bra shape. While many people default to T-shirt bras, she pointed out that other styles, like balconettes or plunge bras, may be a better fit for your breast shape and positioning. Wearing the right style can enhance both comfort and appearance.
