Think of the band as the foundation of your bra. It should sit snug around your ribcage, level all the way around—not riding up your back like a rebellious inchworm. If you can pull it more than a few inches away from your body, it’s too loose. Time to tighten or size down, my friend.
Here’s a fun test: Raise your arms over your head. If the band slides up and you suddenly look like you’re wearing a necklace, that’s a no-go. The band should stay put like a loyal dog—not a hyperactive squirrel. And remember: most of the support comes from the band, not the straps. Your shoulders are not suspension cables!
