I'm starting to admit to myself that maybe my bras don't fit as well as they should. Like, they seem like they fit great when I first put them on - but then a few hours later, it feels like the underwire is digging into my ribs, and it gets more and more uncomfortable. I'm not sure what's supposed to fix that. As I said, the fit seems great. The band isn't too tight, the cups are the right size. But then later, oww, my ribs.

  • yesterday my 75J - Ewa Michalak ยป Bm Naomi (809) dug a pit so deep under my IMF it was burning for a half hour after I took it off. i did fasten it on the tightest hook, so maybe it was too tight? ugg

  • I get the underwire digging into my ribs too, so unpleasant. :-( For me, the digging happens on the front of my chest, sometimes a little more towards the outside of the cup. In my case, my best guest for the cause is bras that don't have enough immediate projection at the wire, and the bottom of the cups and wire are being pushed down and potentially tilted into my ribs.

    If you often find that bras slide down from your IMF or unlined bras get wrinkling at the bottom of the cups (but you are filling out the bottom of the cups otherwise), you could need more immediate projection at the wires. Otherwise, the bras could just have wires that are too firm for you.
