A bra bulge is the unsightly lump of fat that forms just above the elastic band of your bra, creating an unflattering bump underneath your clothes. It is most often than not caused by a poorly fitting bra. According to research, more than 80% of women wear an ill-fitting bra.

As the undersized bra digs into your skin over time, it forms the unsightly bulge that is commonly known as a bra bulge.

What Causes A Bra Bulge?

The most common cause of a bra bulge is wearing the wrong sized bra. The second most common factor is weight gain. Thirdly, age may also be a contributing factor as your body changes shape as you age as it loses elasticity.

What Can I Do To Reduce/Get Rid Of A Bra Bulge?

Buy a properly fitting bra

Invest in some good quality bras with wide straps and a properly fitting elastic band that will not distend your body shape around the chest area. This will make you look much better.

Lose weight

You need to lose weight to get rid of the bra bulge. This entails doing strength training exercises that will help you lose fat on your back and develop muscles. Measure yourself and make sure that the bra has a properly fitting band that will not compress you back fat and give you a bra bulge.
