Bra fitting help » the straps are digging into my armpit skin

Issue resolved
Thank you so much
I really appreciate all your help! I'll try Freya deco as a beginning.
Original problem
I don't know what bra I can wear and makes me feel comfortable.The straps are twisted and so digging into my armpit that I get hurt. Not only this bra but also my other bras bring about the same issue.
Besides the straps, I can't fill the bottom and side of cups but have quad boob at the same time.
As you see on the picture there's gapping at the side boob.When I scoop and swoop I see the bra doesn't give enough projection, so that my breast tissues are squeezed,
I think I can't fill the cups if I go up the cup size though.I think I wear wrong style bra but am not sure what style will fit me...
May be the wire is too narrow or wide?
Or the strap is too wide or narrow?
Please please help me!

The cups are too wide, and are cutting into your arms. A cup size up will be even wider. I would say this style doesn't work for you.
I would say you need a narrower cup, with similar amount of projection/cup depth. Not sure what kind of projection/shallowness you need as I don't know what other bras have worked for you.
These bras work with the fuller on top shape you seem to have:
Bravissimo – Boudoir Beau, Half Cups
Cleo – Marcie, Juna/Darcy
Panache – Andorra, Ariza, Clara, Envy Jasmine, Sienna
Curvy Kate – Half Cups, Emily
Freya – Half Cups (Patsy, Marvel, Tartan, Lauren), Deco, Pollyanna
Masquerade – Half Cups (Rhea, Delphi)
Tutti Rouge – Liliana, BettyYou don't have your other bras visible, so I cannot give you any more help without some other info.
Is the strap placement a common issue? Is the cup being too wide and giving quadboob a common issue?Updated on September 3, 2014 Flag this

helpfulI agree, you need very narrow and deep cups. The bras you've been wearing have wide wires and so even if their volume is correct, they lack the depth you need.
Do a search by numbers. For the search, put in the following information:
- your preferred stretched band length
- Cup width of 5.3 (this means it will show you bras with cups that are up to 5.8" wide, that is too much, you want to look only at cups that are 5.5" wide or even narrower, in my opinion)
- Cup depth of 11"Updated on September 3, 2014 Flag this
