" When we asked for your biggest bra complaints, you shared the good, the bad and the downright ugly. Here, a few tips to consider before your next purchase.   \u2022 Underwire that hurts &amp;quot;The bra might be too small,&amp;quot; says Heather Gross, a bra and shapewear buyer for BareNecessities.com. &amp;quot;The underwire should reach around your breast, encompassing all the tissue, ending directly beneath your underarms.&amp;quot; A proper bra fitting will solve your pain problem.   \u2022 Straps that dig into shoulders &amp;quot;Ninety percent of a bra&amp;#039;s support should come from the band, not the straps,&amp;quot; says Gross. &amp;quot;If your straps dig, it usually means they&amp;#039;re bearing too much of the breast weight.&amp;quot; You may need a smaller band size and a larger cup size.   \u2022 Lack of support &amp;quot;A common mistake is choosing a bra with a back that&amp;#039;s too big and a cup that&amp;#039;s too small,&amp;quot; says Gross. Breasts are weighed down by undersized cups, and an oversized back isn&amp;#039;t stable enough to hold them in place. Your best bet? Get a professional fitting to learn your true size.
