How Often Should You Really Get a Bra Fitting?
Many people assume that once they’ve been fitted for a bra, they’re “set.”
In reality, bra fit isn’t permanent — and wearing the wrong size can quietly affect comfort, support, and confidence over time.
So how often should you really get a bra fitting?
The answer depends on your body, your lifestyle, and how your bras are holding up.
The Short Answer: Every 6–12 Months
As a general guideline, most people benefit from a professional bra fitting once a year, or sooner if something changes. Even small shifts in your body can impact fit more than you might expect.
At Lingerie République, we often see customers who feel “mostly comfortable” — but once they try the correct fit, they immediately notice the difference.
Your bra size isn’t just a number — it’s a reflection of your body right now. Common reasons fit can change include:
- Weight fluctuation (up or down)
- Hormonal changes
- Pregnancy or postpartum changes
- Aging and natural tissue changes
- Changes in posture or activity level
- Wearing stretched or worn-out bras
Even if none of these feel dramatic, subtle shifts can lead to digging straps, bands that ride up, gaping cups, or reduced support.
You don’t have to wait a full year if your body is giving you signals. It’s time to book a fitting if:
- Your band rides up your back
- Straps constantly slip or dig in
- Cups gap, wrinkle, or spill over
- You feel uncomfortable by the end of the day
- Your bras are over a year old and heavily worn
If you’re adjusting your bra all day, it’s doing too much work — and not the right kind.
Online calculators and size charts can be helpful, but they don’t replace trained expertise.
- Band support and tension
- Cup shape and volume
- Wire placement and comfort
- Style compatibility with your body and lifestyle
At Lingerie République, fittings are personalized, pressure-free, and education-focused. We explain why a bra works — not just what size to buy.
In-Store vs. Virtual Bra Fittings
In-store fittings allow for hands-on expertise in a private, comfortable environment. You’ll be able to try multiple styles, compare fits, and walk away confident in your choices.
Virtual fittings offer the same expert guidance from home. These appointments are ideal for busy schedules or customers outside the Bay Area, focusing on fit education, measurements, and style recommendations you can trust.
Both options are designed to help you feel informed, supported, and comfortable — never rushed or pressured.
The Bottom Line: Fit Is Ongoing, Not One-Time
Your body changes. Your bras wear out. And your comfort matters.
Getting fitted regularly isn’t about buying more bras — it’s about wearing better ones. The right fit improves support, posture, comfort, and confidence in everything you wear.
