Should you be able to feel bras?
“The back of the bra should form a straight line at the bottom and not be pulled up.” It is the band that should provide most of the bra’s support and not the r straps. A bra should never feel uncomfortable. If you feel that it is too tight around the back or pinches, go up a size.

“If you don’t wear a bra, your breasts will sag,” says Dr. Ross. “If there’s a lack of proper, long-term support, breast tissue will stretch and become saggy, regardless of breast size.” Aside from the aesthetics, a lack of proper support (i.e. not wearing a bra) can also potentially lead to pain.
Is it true that wearing a bra cause sagging?

Should I wear a bra if my breasts hurt?

Do you wear a bralette when not wearing a bra?

What kind of bra should I wear after a mastectomy?
Wearing the right bra can make all the difference after a mastectomy, and there are several types to choose from.
