Bra Size Issue? Mid Back Pain around the band/strap where the hooks are?

Hello. I am a petite woman, and I have been having issues with my bra lately. Sometimes I get pain in my mid back where the bra band/strap is, or where the hooks are to make it more clear. I have been fitted however I am still having this issue. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions? Sometimes the pain is worse on some days than others. I noticed with sports bras I tend not to have this pain. Thank you for your help!
I am probably either an A or B cup however it is possible I am a C. I do not define these as large sizes however, and it would not make sense that this would be the cause of the pain from my view

Answer
Bra size and posture plays a major role in women who tend to have larger breasts. As you said you never feel the pain when you wear a sports bra. I think its best if you will chose bra with more like of a sport bra to lessen your back pain. Wearing sports bra can support the weight of your breast unlike those with hooks.


Correcting a bad posture is also a big help in removing back aches. Many women who tend to have larger breasts use a posture brace corrector. It also helps in the relieve of neck, back shoulder and lower back pain.

Bra Question (WOMEN)?!?

Mei

So um... I'm very petite and I'm 14. My bra size is supposed to be 24DD but I couldn't fine that anywhere but online (cant order online) I tried 26D, 28C, 30B and I can't find anywhere. I did however find a 32B and the cups are pretty much comfy but if I jump too much it "moves" or "jiggles" too easily (sorry for awkwardness) and I'm thinking its because the band is too big (I'm 23 inches under bust) so can I tell my mom to sew the band? What are my options?

Answer
I do not think you're measuring right, if you're a DD there's not a chance at all that you would fit into a B cup no matter how big the band is.
There's correct ways to measure online if you just Google it.

Bras for petite women with not so small boobs?

K.

Okay so I'm a 32C, which is already hard enough to find... I'm 5', about 110 lbs, and I guess you could say I'm "small boned" I can only go to victoria's secret, cause I can't find my size anywhere else, and I'm paying $50 for a bra that still doesn't fit me right...
I have the straps all the way tightened, and it's still not tight enough so my boobs are kind of droopy, and because of that it feels like the cup is too big.. But if I wear a 32B then they're falling out all over the place, so I know I'm a C! I have to wear a tank top with a built in bra under whatever I'm wearing, so the top of the bra doesn't flip out and cause it kinda helps holding them up.. Even my boyfriend has noticed, and he's who suggested I get a custom fitted bra.
I'd like to find a place that would custom fit a bra for me, but without me having to pay a fortune to be comfortable... I'd love to find a place somewhere in Northern Utah so I don't have to order off the internet, cause I'd like someone to actually measure me and fit me IN PERSON so I know it's right, and so I'm not paying all that money for a bra that still doesn't fit....

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Yeah I can sometimes find 32C at Walmart and stuff but not often lol but I'll try 34 B and C and see if it helps :)
Oh and there's not really a gap between my bra and my boobs, I guess a better description would be to say that my boobs "fall down" I'm constantly pulling them up.. Idk it's really hard to describe lol but I'll try some 34's and see how they do..

Answer
I'm 5'2, 105 pounds, and also small boned. I wear a 34 C bra. Victoria's Secret is good for younger women (I'm 40, 2 kids...i.e. droopy boobs), but as you get older, or if your breasts are especially heavy; as C cups on your frame would be, you need a more well- constructed bra. Tiny women need petite bra's cut for a smaller frame. The straps are not as long, and the proportions suited to 5'3 and under, petite frames. Wacoal Petites, The Little Bra Company, and Calvin Klein Petites are very good petite lines. Lily of France bras are also excellent for small women with larger breasts. My personal favorites are Lily of France and Wacoal. The straps fit great, and the bras are pretty as well as very comfortable. The bras are not cheap; $40-60 each. But a good quality bra will last longer, and fit much better, than a cheap one. Before you buy, go to a Victoria's Secret store and get measured. TAKE THE TIME! You will be so glad you did. I was wearing 36 B's for years, and finally got measured and found out I'm a 34 C. The fit difference is amazing. My boobs are no longer falling out of the cups and my band and straps are comfy. Plus I look way better in my clothes. Good luck!

Need suggestions for a clear back dance bra for a VERY busty fairly petite woman =)?

Hello! I have been having a really REALLY hard time finding a bra to wear under my leos for class. I am a 32 or 34 DDD and am only 5'2 and about 130lbs so i am VERY blessed! I have been wearing sports bras under my leos or the half leos under my regular leos for extra support which they give, but they look so bad under some of my prettier open back leos. Any suggestions for dance bras with a clear back that are good for a bustier girl?? Thank you =)

Answer
revolution came out with a multi way bra for dancers. It is nude in the front and very supportive. It has a clear strap in the back, and it is convertible to a cross back, racer back, spagetti, halter, strapless, multi strapless, and it is only $22. My friend is a 44 DD and she is a large, so you would probably be a medium, maybe large.

Question for petite women? ?

raisinette

I'm 4'11, and I look younger than I am. Most people say I look 14, and I'm 21. I'm also married with two kids.

Do you ever get offended when people talk about your height? Or they make jokes about how young you look? Or do you get really angry when they argue with you at the checkout counter about your ID?

Tell me your stories.. so I don't feel alone. lol

Answer
hey! we're the same height!

i get offended when my friends use me as an arm rest. seriously, i have to have the tall friends. *eye roll*
or when they question how i can reach the pedals when i drive, or joke that they don't think i'm tall enough to go on rides at amusement parks.
i know they're joking but i tell them that it does hurt.

traveling is pretty bad. i fly alone (if i have connections, my parents force me to fly UM, which can be done for anyone under 18) and sometimes i get to the security line and the attendant doesn't believe that i'm not flying UM, or something.

going out with my friends is bad too, because people are sometimes like "who are you babysitting for?" or "i didn't know you had a younger sister" when i'm older than the majority of my friends!

but i really get mad when i get kid's menus for kids ten and under. that's stopped since i've started wearing push-up bras and more makeup when i go out. that just makes me boil because seriously, it can't be that hard to differentiate between a 10 year old and a 15 year old. once, i actually got really pissed off at this waitress and was all "no, this is really rude. i'm wearing heels and i have cleavage. do i look like i'm 10?". i actually got other people to tell her how old i looked! kind of embarrassing... def not my best moment.
