Tired of Sagging Breasts? These 5 Bras Are Made For You

It’s normal for breasts to sag over time or because of life events. Whether it’s breastfeeding, weight loss, menopause, or aging, our beloved breasts are there for the ride. So, if they aren’t looking as perky as you’d like, count on us to uplift you.

Why Do Breasts Sag?
Breast sagging is normal and occurs over time due to loss of skin elasticity and the weakening of the ligaments that support our breasts. There are a number of factors that can contribute to sagging breasts, including hormonal changes, weight fluctuations, genetics, and lifestyle. Then, of course, there’s gravity which affects us all at some point. It’s one of the many reasons why it’s so important to wear a high-quality bra that lifts and supports your breasts just right. Most importantly, change is natural. Let’s embrace it with confidence—and with a well-curated collection of comfortable, supportive bras.

The Impact of Breast Shape on Sagging

Your breast shape can impact the likelihood of your breasts sagging and how much sagging you experience. In particular, there are two sagging breast types—pendulous breasts and shallow top/full bottom breasts. Understanding your breast shape is essential when choosing the best bras to boost and support your bustline.

What Does It Mean To Have Pendulous Breasts?
Pendulous breasts have more soft tissue and a longer drop. The nipples face down, with most of the weight sitting closer to the nipple. We especially love full coverage bras for pendulous breasts, as they provide all the lift and support you need without sacrificing comfort. Age, genetics, and even pregnancy can all affect the feeling and appearance of pendulous breast shapes.

What Does It Mean To Have Shallow Top/Full Bottom Breasts?
Shallow top/full bottom breasts hold more breast tissue at the bottom of the breast than the top and are most common in women who have breastfed. Bras that feature an elastic neckline and close-set straps are ideal for this shape. We also recommend t-shirt bras with contour cups.

How To Choose The Best Bras For Sagging Breasts

Bra shopping? It’s all about extra lift and support. Always look for high-quality bras that lift your breasts off your waistline and up to your bustline for a fuller look and supported feel. Remember, the best bras for sagging breasts should feel comfortable as well.
