• It definitely matters to me. If a cup is too wide the wires dig into my sides too far back. Along with this, the side of the cup where the cup meets the strap is also too wide for me cussing it to dig into my armpits. It’s just an over all uncomfortable experience for me.

• @v41kyr13d wire width does matter because it affects the overall fit making more adjustments needed based on your unique bust formula. Wired have to do with the “root” or how your titt attaches to your chest wall. The left to right root consideration is referred to as wide or narrow roots.

  Wide roots take up more space on your chest and they need wider wires because if the wires are too narrow they sit on the breast tissue and it is painful. Many times wide roots are shallow or don't need as much depth from the wire. It is also possible to need that depth even though your breast tissue takes up a lot of space on your chest. Think of this as a flatter bowl or a deep bowl sitting on a chest

  Narrow roots take up less space on the overall chest and most of the tissue is focused on the very front and none on the sides. If wires are too wide they usually end up being too long and painfully poke in the arm pit. You will constantly need to up the bra size because there is not enough depth at the wire because the bra is too shallow yet there is extra space in the sides. Eventually it will still not work because the wires will get too long to ever give a decent fit. Narrow roots need more projection and depth at wire. Think of them as a coffee mug or a mason jar.

  Top to bottom roots are referred to as tall or short roots and wires of course play a part in that as well. My point is wires are more important than you would think lol
