Fit Guidance for First-Time Buyers<\/h2>\n

\u25cf Band Fit: A slightly tight but comfortable fit is what the band should provide. Support is mainly from the band.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Cup Fit:<\/strong> The breasts need to be inside the cups<\/a> completely; there should not be any spillage or gaps.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Straps:<\/strong> It is critical that the straps can be adjusted to be comfortable and to maintain good posture.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Wire vs Non-Wire:<\/strong> A non-wired<\/a> or a lightly structured bra is the right choice for a first-time bra.<\/p>\n

\u25cf Sizing Tip:<\/strong> It is a must to measure both your bust and band. The Clovia size charts are very helpful for beginners to find the right fit.
