If you’re asking, “Are bra bands supposed to be tight?” — you’re not alone. Finding that just-right balance between support and comfort is what separates a good bra from a great one.
Are bras supposed to be tight?
A bra should fit snugly, not tightly. When you first buy it, it should fit on the loosest hook — that way, as the elastic stretches over time, you can tighten it gradually.
Are bra fittings free?
Yes, many lingerie stores and online brands (including Celaora) offer free virtual or in-store fittings. A quick 5-minute session can completely change how your bra feels.
Pro tip:
If your band rides up or your straps dig in, your size might be off. Check Celaora’s Fit Guide to get measured correctly at home.
