12 Common Bra Myths: Debunked by Clovia
There is an awful lot of misinformation and misconceptions’ circulating about what a brassiere does and doesn’t do.
After a whole lot of researching, digging and discovering, we at Clovia are going to debunk some of the many common bras myths.
You don’t need to be a lingerie expert to know what your brassiere can do. Just read through 🙂
What Are Some of the Most Common Bra Myths?
MYTH 1- TIGHTENING MY BRA STRAPS WILL MAKE MY BRA FIT BETTER
Fact: A well-fitted bra should snugly hug the body. Properly adjusted straps, along with a correctly fitting band and cups, ensure optimal support.
MYTH 2- A LOOSE-FITTING BRA IS THE MOST COMFORTABLE.
Fact: Comfort comes from a bra that fits correctly. A loose bra can lead to discomfort and a lack of support.

MYTH 3- ONCE YOU KNOW YOUR SIZE, EVERY BRASSIERE FITS YOU
Fact: Different bra styles and fits suit different body shapes. Clovia offers a fit test to help you find your ideal size and style.
MYTH 4- BACK AND SHOULDER PAIN DUE TO HEAVY BREASTS
Fact: Properly supportive bras, like full-coverage styles for fuller breasts, can alleviate discomfort. Clovia’s bra size calculator helps find the right fit.
MYTH 5- BRASSIERE TRAP TOXINS AND INCREASE CANCER RISK
Fact: Wearing a bra, even underwire ones, does not increase cancer risk. This myth is unfounded and debunked.
MYTH 6- THE AVERAGE BREAST SIZE IS 34B
Fact: The average breast size is 36C, but sizes vary widely among individuals. There is no true “average” size.
MYTH 7- A GOOD AND WELL-FITTED BRA LASTS A LIFETIME
Fact: With proper care, good-quality bras can last up to a year. However, their supportive features may diminish over time.
MYTH 8- 34C AND 36C HAVE THE SAME CUP SIZE
Fact: Cup sizes are graded relative to band sizes. For example, 34C has the same cup size as 32D or 36B.
MYTH 9- CUP SIZE D IS A LARGE SIZE
Fact: Cup sizes range from AA to JJ, so D is not necessarily “large.” Embrace your size, whether D or beyond!
MYTH 10- WEAR WHITE UNDER WHITE
Fact: Opt for nude or pale pink tones under white garments for a seamless look. White bras may show through white clothing.
MYTH 11- UNDERWIRES COULD BE A HEALTH HAZARD
Fact: There is no conclusive evidence linking underwire bras to health risks. A properly fitted underwire bra can provide excellent support and shape.
MYTH 12- SMALL-SIZED WOMEN CAN WEAR PUSH-UP BRAS WITH PADS DAILY
Fact: Overuse of push-up bras can lead to unnatural shaping and potential sagging. Rotate push-up bras with other styles for optimal breast health.
I hope we have been able to successfully deflate and set a few of your bra myths and facts. Now, every time you shop for a bra, replace all your doubts with smiles and confidence. At Clovia, we’re here to ensure your lingerie experience is not just comfortable but informed too!
