Common Fit Issues & Solutions
Most fit problems aren't about size—they're about positioning. Here's how to fix them.
Band Issues
Band Riding Up
If the band rides up along your back, it’s too big and you need to go for a smaller size.
Quick Fix
Hook on the tightest setting temporarily to see if this helps keep the band in place.
Band Too Tight
If the band feels uncomfortable or leaves deep red marks, it's too small and you need to go up one band size.
Quick Fix
Use the loosest hook setting or try a bra extender while you find your correct size.
Strap Issues

Strap Issues
Straps Falling Down
If your straps constantly slip off your shoulders, they're too loose or your band is too large.
Quick Fix
Try tightening the straps first. If already tight, cross them in the back like a racerback temporarily.
Straps Digging In
If straps leave painful marks on your shoulders, your band is too loose and the straps are doing all the work.
Quick Fix
Loosen the straps slightly and tighten the band instead—the band should provide 80% of support.
Cup Issues
Overflow
If breast tissue spills over the top or sides, creating a "quadboob" effect, your cups are too small.
Quick Fix
Lean forward and scoop all breast tissue into the cups, then reassess the fit.
Side Spillage
If breast tissue pushes out at the sides or under your arms, your cups are too small or too narrow for your breast shape.
Quick Fix
Lean forward and scoop all tissue into the cups. If it still spills out, go up one cup size.
