Battle Bra Fitting Guidelines

1. When checking your bra size, always start with the underband size first. As changing the size of the underband will, most likely, will have a knock-on effect on the cup size needed.
2. Most issues with sizing I see are actually underband-related, not cup-related. Luckily, this is the easiest one to resolve. You can easily check this at-home yourself. Please visit Sizing Guidelines for further assistance.
3. Your underband must sit in the indentation beneath your breast. Do not pull down the underband further than this, as it will being the entire bra fabric down too. This issue might then be wrongly mistaken for the cup being too small a size. If you are able to pull it down, it's likely that you're wearing an underband size too big.

It's quite common for many women to size down a cup when they wear moulded cups, which the Battle Bra has. Therefore, if you find you may need to size down a cup in the Battle Bra compared to our Solidarity, this is quite common.

It is important to get the Overband^® to sit flat against your skin and for it to have a little tension in it already^® sitting flush against the skin. if you find this isn't happening, then you likely have some gapping or space in the cup also. Meaning you will need to size down a cup to full this space perfectly.

However, if you find it's uncomfortable or restricting your breathing then this may well be because it it a size too small. We will be happy to check this with you on an online fitting.

The Overband® needs to rest just over top of your breasts, stopping them from travelling upward when you're active. So if you're finding that the Overband® is sitting lower on your chest - almost across it - then you will need size up to raise its position.
On the other hand, if the Overband® isn't sitting on your boobs at all and is too high, you will need to size down in the cup so that it can apply that much needed downward pressure.

MAAREE sports bras have quite high coverage, so most of your chest will be covered by the fabric. If you find that you have a lot of excess skin spilling over the sides or over the top then you will need to increase your size to ensure sufficient coverage.

The joy of having a J-hook to connect your shoulder strap together at the back means you get the option to wear it either way. So the choice is yours! However, I would add that you do get more support when worn as a racerback. So if you would like your support level taken up a notch, then this is a good move!
