The Right Bra Doesn’t Come from a Size Tag
"It fit perfectly in the fitting room—why does it feel wrong at home?"
"The size chart said it was my size—so why does it gape or leave red marks?"
If you’ve had these bra struggles, you’re not alone.
It’s time to rethink the way we look at bra sizing. Instead of asking women to keep measuring, testing, and compromising, what if we flipped the approach? What if a bra could adapt to you—not the other way around?
Why Is Bra Sizing So Frustrating?
The issue isn’t just “not knowing how to measure.” It’s that your body is constantly changing, while traditional bra sizing stays static.
1. Asymmetry Is Normal—Not the Exception
Most women don’t have perfectly symmetrical breasts. In fact, a size difference between the left and right breast—sometimes as much as a full cup—is completely natural. Ever had a bra that fits snugly on one side but gaps or digs on the other? That’s asymmetry—and it’s completely normal.
2. Your Cycle Affects Your Bra Fit
Hormonal shifts can change your breast size by up to half a cup—especially in the days leading up to your period. Just like how your shoes may fit differently in the morning versus the evening due to swelling, your bra fit can shift with your cycle.
3. Teardrop/Papaya-Shaped Breasts Are Harder to Measure
If you have teardrop- or papaya-shaped breasts, you’ve probably noticed it’s especially hard to find a size that truly fits. These breasts tend to be softer, wider-set, or more spread out on the chest—so when you use a tape measure (especially while standing), your bust measurement often ends up smaller than it really is—leading to bras that feel loose, gape, or lack support.
4. Wired Bras Leave No Room for Error
Underwires demand precision. If they sit even half an inch off from your natural breast root, they can cause digging, pinching, or even inflammation. That’s why wired bras often feel uncomfortable unless they fit just right.
How Comfelie Designs Around the Problem
At Comfelie, we believe it’s not your job to fit into a size. It’s our job to make bras that fit you—with all your curves, shifts, and uniqueness.
Adaptive Fit: Elastic Designs That Breathe with You
Comfelie bras are designed with elastic structures that adjust within half a cup’s range. We use flexible sizing (S, M, L…) instead of rigid cup/band combinations—more in tune with how real people move.
Support Where You Need It Most: The Band
Up to 80% of support comes from the band. We use high-stretch fabric with up to 43% spandex, creating a snug, stable feel without rolling or squeezing. Many styles include extenders to accommodate body changes.
Cups That Reflect Real Bodies
We design deeper, fuller cups based on U.S. size data—focusing on common sizes like 34DD, 36D, and 40C. Our designs reduce spillage, gaping, and pressure for fuller busts.
Wider, Softer, Adjustable Straps
Most Comfelie bras feature wider shoulder straps made from brushed, non-slip fabric for all-day comfort—no red marks, no sliding.
Wireless by Choice, Not Compromise
Going wireless means more flexibility and comfort, especially for bodies that shift and change daily. Our wireless structure provides real support—no poking, no pressure.

How to Measure at Home
Many users have found that the method shared by Reddit’s r/ABraThatFits community—like the one shown above—gives a more accurate size than traditional store fittings.
If you have teardrop- or papaya-shaped breasts (common in fuller busts with softer, more fatty tissue), you may notice your measurements shift or seem smaller than expected. That’s because this type of breast tissue tends to spread more when unsupported.
💡 Pro Tip: Wear a super-thin tank top or unlined bra while measuring to gently hold your bust in place— this helps you get a more accurate number without compression.
How to Put On a Bra: “Scoop and Swoop”
Why the Scoop and Swoop Matters
Getting your size right is only the first step—how you wear your bra makes a huge difference.
When trying on a new bra, always do the scoop and swoop: use your hand to gently lift and guide all breast tissue from under your arms and side ribs into the cups. This move helps ensure the bra is actually supporting your whole bust, not just part of it.
This habit is especially helpful for women with fuller busts or softer tissue. It can smooth out armpit and back bulges, and over time, even encourage tissue that was previously pushed out of place by ill-fitting bras to settle back into the breast area. Many women find they go up a cup size after switching to a better-fitting bra.
What to Check When Trying on a Bra
✅ Correct Fit vs. Wrong Fit
- All breast tissue should sit inside the cups—no spillage, no armpit bulge, and no "quad-boob" lines across the top.
- The band should feel snug and supportive—flat against your body, parallel to the floor, and not riding up or digging in.
- The center front (gore) should lie flat against your sternum. If it doesn’t, it may mean the cups are too small or the style doesn’t suit your shape.
Think of trying on bras like testing shoes—it’s about more than just the number on the label. Fit, feel, and how your body moves in it all matter.
