Is Your Contour Bra Gapping?
We have been performing a lot of bra fittings at HerRoom recently. It’s been fascinating to see the bras women come in wearing.
Most are showing up with a contour cup bra. This means the cups are molded into a specific shape and then lined with a thin layer of foam for modesty. Not only are these women in the wrong bra size, but women with heavy breasts and/or breast sizes larger than a D cup are showing up in these contour cup bras and they are gapping along the top edges of the bra.
Why the gap? It’s because heavy breast weight is causing the cup shape to be strained and thus, gap.
But there is a solution. There are some contour cup bras that have an elasticized edge along the top of the cup. This elastic better molds to your natural breast shape and thus reduces or eliminates this gapping. And, if your breasts are uneven in size – and most women are – this elasticized upper cup goes a long way in giving you a custom fit.
My favorite contour bras with this feature are the Simone Perele Caressence 12J316 and the Chantelle Pure Memory Foam 3612. Both give your breasts a great custom shape due to the memory foam they use, and best of all, do not gap!

But neither of those bras come in larger than D cups
