  I think you should put on an extender (not the kind with an elastic in the middle, those usually make it too big) before doing anything to the wires. The wires may not be the problem at all--you won't know until you have adjusted the band length to a size more suited to your ribcage.

  I'm not clear how the gore can ride up all by itself? It does sound like either the shape is wrong and you are not stable in it, or you just need to adjust - not the straps, but your boobs, like place them back where you want them.

  Ok, looking at your measurements and the bras measurements, it looks like the band is too small. It also looks like your measurements are off - you couldnt fit in a 10 inch depth cup with that much coverage. anyways, if the band is too small, it can make the cup shape wrong - the cups get stretched out.

  idk, hard to figure out exactly what is going on. but have you tried any 34 bands?

    I am not well versed with the parts of a bra, so I apologize if I caused confusion. I'll try to clarify. The middle part of the bra, the one that sits on the sternum in between the breasts sits in place for several hours but then will ride upwards, causing it to dig into my sternum. So from what I'm gathering from your response is that I'm wearing the wrong sized band and cup?

    Also, my tape measure is broken so I eyed it with the bra. I should try to edit when I get a chance.

    For learning purposes is "gore" the correct term to use when describing the part of the bra that lays on your sternum?

  • Yes, thats the gore. How much does it rise up? Or does it more start to angle inwards so it pokes you more? Have you tried bending the wires out a bit?

    the cup depth I think does fit you, but the measurement is wrong. the band looks and sounds too small. Unless your body measurements are a bit off.

    If you have an extender (or can find one cheaply) you could try adding that and seeing if that makes it any more comfortable.

    anyways, as a 32/34 J/JJ, I usually have to adjust my boobs and my bra at least 1-2 times a day. Its just too much to ask, I think, to hold these saggy, heavy boobs up for 15 hours without a little help!

  • dbmamaz angles inwards. I haven't tried bending the wires out, heck I didn't even know you can do that! I'm going to try that. I will also try to get the band expander and see how it works. I do feel as though my cup fits so it was nice to get that affirmation. I'll try those two things out and will let you know how it goes.

  Your straps look very tight in your photos. Is there any room left to loosen them up? They look like they are low on your shoulders also. Why did you ask if you should adjust the straps more often? Are they uncomfortable or falling? The cup fit looks good.
