A bra fitting is a professional service where a client is measured and fitted into a bra(s) to determine their correct bra size and bra styles that suit their body type. A bra fitting consists of two parts. The client is first a measured to get an idea of their correct bra size. Once this is determined the client is the fitted into a few different bras to determine which size and style fits best. Most clients will have at least two bra sizes that can fit well – their main bra size and a sister size which is another bra size that is very close in fit to the main bra size. We recommend getting measured at least once a year since our bra size can change over time. To use our online bra size calculator, click here https://downundersl.com/calculator/.

Yes, your bra size will remain the same for regular and various types of bras. What is important, is that your band fits firmly in any bra that you are wearing since 90% of your lift and support is provided by your bra band.  Bands that are too loose will result in droopy unsupported breasts.

It is recommended that you rotate your bras to avoid overuse and for hygiene purposes. It is best to have at least 2 to 3 bras that you can rotate as you wear them.  One that you are wearing, one that has been washed and a third as a spare, in case the one you washed the day before just has not dried as yet.

If you use underwire bras, it is important that the wire fits well under and behind the breast tissue, not resting on any soft tissue on the chest or under the armpits. Any soft tissue under the arm needs to be pulled into the bra cup and inside of the underwire. Any pressure on the breast tissue must be avoided. Wearing an underwire while sleeping is not recommended. Wire-free or seamless stretchy bras can provide light support while sleeping and allow for good circulation.

Nursing bras should be purchased in your final trimester, ideally around the 8^th month of your pregnancy.

Properly fitted underwire bras generally cause no problems during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. However, wirefree bras are usually more comfortable when the breasts are at their fullest. This is during the last months of pregnancy and during the first month of breastfeeding. If you do choose an underwire bra, it is imperative that the wire fits well under and behind the breast tissue. Any pressure on the breast tissue can result in a plugged duct and ultimately mastitis or breast infection. Wearing an underwire while sleeping is not recommended.

Many women use these terms interchangeably, but a maternity bra is very different from a nursing bra. A nursing bra (or feeding bra) is worn once your child arrives, and you have made the decision to breastfeed. The cups are designed to drop down from a clip, thus exposing your breasts for nursing. Nursing bras are usually lined with cotton fabric and have an all-around breast support system to give a natural shape and provide much needed support.

A maternity bra (also known as a pre-natal bra) is worn both before and after pregnancy if you are not planning on breastfeeding. The cups on a maternity bra are designed to be stretchy so that the bra can grow with your growing breasts. These bras also come with additional breast support. This can be purchased at the start of your pregnancy and worn throughout and after your pregnancy for added comfort. Maternity bras do not come with drop down nursing clips. There are every-day bras that could work as maternity bras. They just need to have stretchy cups and good support. Some women opt to wear sports bras as their maternity bras because they are designed to be super supportive.

It is recommended that you wash your garments before use for hygiene purposes.  At Down Under we sanitize all bras and garments that have been fitted but we do recommend that you wash your bras before use.

A good quality bra will last you at least 18 to 24 months (2 years) once you care your bra properly.  Particular for underwire bras, machine washing is not recommended, even when using a bra safety wash bag. Top loading machines in particular can be very unforgiving and can wring the underwire out of your bra or deform the shape of your underwire resulting in poking and discomfort from your underwire bra.  Hand wash, with delicate detergent and drip dry your bras if you want the most use from your bra.

Most shapewear come with a size chart that you should follow when purchasing. As a general guide, if a size chart is not provided you can refer to the chart below:

It is best to get clearance from your obstetrician, that the pelvic area is fully healed, prior to using any shapewear after a c-section.
