Um my ribs hurt

Wow I haven’t posted in forever!!!! So I bought some new bras (finally) and I am loving them!!!! Both are Ewa Michalak CHP 65GG they seem to fit perfectly except for the minor issue of the underwire at the bottom of the cup digging into my rib. I have tried tightening my straps thinking that might help, loosened straps as well but still get digging in. It’s like when I scoop and swoop the weight of my boobs weighs down my bra. My boobs are not that big but I’ve never had this issue before even when I was breaking in my 60GG a few years ago. The band feels great so this wire digging has me confused.

Any suggestions!?!? Haven’t had a chance to add my new bras yet will try tonight and add a link for pictures.

  • This could be due to 2 things:

    Rib flares

    Or the band may be a bit tight. It's recommended to size up a band in ewa because they have snug bands and extremely hard wires, especially in BM so you may want to avoid that cut.

  • I'm not sure if this is something you want to do, but you might want to try bending the wires a bit. The underwires are flat, but your body is not; you can bend a curve into them to follow the shape of your torso better. I have to do this to all my Ewas; otherwise, they dig badly. Once bent, they're basically invisible.

    I bend a slight curve into them using the vertical seam as my guide point. What I mean is with the inside of the bra facing me, I put my thumbs on the wire where the seam is then bend them slightly towards me. You don't have to do it much, just a little, and it's a massive relief.
