Q. So I was wearing a 36 D, but i got remeasured to be a 32E (I know that they are the equivalent sizes). I have for a while now (at least a year ish) been getting a pain between my shoulder blades, a couple of inches above my strap. Could this have been due to the wrong sized bra? And if i start wearing the right size bra, will it go away immediately, or is there something else i need to do? I always tend to hunch over, could this be due to large cup size? Is it worth buying a whole new set of bras that are the "right" size, considering that im only 15, or should i get myself remeasured again to check if the most recent measurement was right? Finally, is it worth seeing anybody (ie doctor or whatever) about it or not? Thank you :)
Answer
An ill-fitting bra or larger breasts can both cause back pain - just obviously consider it may be down to other causes, most likely other cause to consider is bad posture!
You always should be wearing the right fitting bra - if you are a 32E then you need to be wearing a 32E, it may just be one cup size difference but the back measurement is two sizes smaller, which can make a big difference - if you haven't already got a set of bras in your size then yes, it's important to buy bras in the right size. It's also not just about size of the bra but ensuring that it's worn correctly, for example the back strap needs to be perfectly horizontal across your back and the shoulder straps shouldn't be able to lift more than an inch off your shoulders.
At your age breast growth and development is probably still occurring, your breasts never stop growing and changing throughout your life, adult women should be measured for bras every 6 months so logically as well as regular bra fittings you should double-check your bra size every time you buy a new bra. Remember too that your breasts size will increase/decrease slightly throughout your menstrual cycle so you may need two sets of bras in two different cup sizes.
Do see your doctor, the pain may be due to an ill-fitting bra but longer-term pain like this may be down to something else - I'd still put my money on posture, so it may be worth seeing a chiropractor instead to make sure your posture is as it should be and make any corrections if needed.

does this bra fit correctly?
So, i was told I'm a 32 C, but my boobs bulge out a little. Im not sure if it fit correctly or not. I tried a 32 D, and it covers my breast much more nicely, but the one thing i don't get it the middle of the bra, in between my two boobs, isn't flat against my skin. But it fits well, on my breast, and the band size doesn't ride up and feels comfortable. I know a larger size would leave excess baggage, so i know it would be too big. So I'm a little confused. Also, this bra gives me nice cleavage. just adding. Why is the middle not flat? I've heard its a sign of an ill fitting bra.
the middle of the 32-c also didn't lie flat
Answer
The bra does not fit. A well fitted bra should lay flat in the middle, not bulge on the sides or top and the straps should not slide around. Get fitted at a specialty store to be sure. If you don't feel comfortable in a 32C but that should be your size, the problem may be the bra style. Try a different style. Or you could go down a cup size and up a band size. (34B) It might fit better. Sounds like it would be smaller, but it's actually the same size.
