Don't be embarrassed if you don't have perfectly even breasts. Believe it or not, every woman has one breast that is larger than the other. Some women have a noticeable size difference of a full cup size or even more, so I often have women in my store who need bra fitting help for uneven breasts. There are many different solutions to comfortably fit both sides of your chest or to disguise the difference.

Embrace Your Shape

To fit both sides without filling out the smaller cup, we recommend a stretch cup bra. You can use the shoulder straps to customize the fit on each side. This solution is great for women whose breasts are less than one cup size different on each side. It is also the most convenient solution for uneven breasts.

Try a Little Camouflage

If you would like to make your bust look more even, don't try to squeeze the larger breast into a cup that is too small. There are plenty of ways to fill in the smaller size to create a more symmetrical silhouette. The easiest solution is to wear a molded cup bra that is fitted to the larger size. Because this type of bra keeps its shape, this will hide a small difference in cup size. If your size difference is more pronounced, you can use a single breast enhancer in the cup to lift the smaller breast.

A great all-in-one solution for women with a smaller cup size is to buy a padded bra with removable "cookies" or push-up pads. Simply remove the padding from the larger side. Many modern padded bras come with this option.

Post-Surgical Solutions

Many women have uneven breasts after breast surgery. For women who have had lumpectomies, mastectomies, or simply have a very large difference between their cup size, we recommend specialty mastectomy bras. These bras have pockets included in the cup that can be used with partial or compensation breast forms. Mastectomy bras have other advantages for post-surgical women, including fabric designed to be comfortable against sensitive skin and full-coverage styles that support without binding.

Need a Personal Solution?

Every woman's body is different, so sometimes you just need a little personal help to find the perfect bra. Ask Linda for advice based on your size and shape.
