Use a tiny piece of duck tape to cover up the sharp end of the metal underwire, so it will be more difficult for it to poke through again.

If you find that the underwire is digging into either your side or the front and your cup size is correct, try a smaller or larger cup size. Make sure that your <strong>bra<\/strong> band fits properly as well. This will ensure that your bra stays where it is supposed to and that the underwire won&#8217;t move around.The underwire should lay flat against your body. If the underwire is poking into your breasts, the cup size is too small. If the underwire is poking into your armpits, the cup size is too big or you&#8217;re wearing the wrong style.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_75 counter-hierarchy

id=\"Why_do_the_wires_in_bras_come_out\"><\/span>Why do the wires in bras come out?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>If the band size is too tight then the underwires are placed under pressure and may poke out the front overtime. Alternatively if the band is too large and moving around the body, this friction wears down the casing or underwire channelling and this can create a hole for the wire to pop out.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_underwire_bra_poke_me_in_the_armpit\"><\/span>Why does my underwire bra poke me in the armpit?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Underwire diameter is too small &#8211; The underarm end is poking breast tissue, or catching your arm as it moves forward. You need a larger cup size. Underwire diameter is too large &#8211; The underarm end is poking into your armpit. You need a smaller cup size or a bra with shorter underwires.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_know_what_size_underwire_I_need\"><\/span>How do I know what size underwire I need?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Underwire size is determined by a combination of your band and cup size. Underwire sizing works like bra cup sizing and uses sister sizes. This means that: as you go up or down in cup size you go up or down in wire size, and as you go up or down in band sizing you go up or down in wire size.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_happens_if_I_take_the_underwire_out_of_my_bra\"><\/span>What happens if I take the underwire out of my bra?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>If you remove the underwire from the bra it will no longer continue to provide the same support as before. The underwire distributes support across the different sections of the bra. It affects not only the cups themselves but also the front and wings (sides\/back) of the bra.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_underwire_bras_better\"><\/span>Are underwire bras better?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>PROS: Underwire bras do provide more support and shape, thanks to their wired structure. We recommend this style for women with larger breasts who may want more support in their everyday bra. If lift is what you&#8217;re looking for, underwire bras offer your breasts more lift than a wireless bra does.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_are_underwire_bras_so_uncomfortable\"><\/span>Why are underwire bras so uncomfortable?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The most common cause of discomfort from an underwired bra is wearing the wrong size. If it presses into the breast, for example on the side, you are wearing a cup that is too small. If the underwire leaves red marks on the skin, you are probably wearing a bra with a circumference that is too tight.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_underwire_bra_digs_into_my_ribs\"><\/span>Why does my underwire bra digs into my ribs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>First of all, the most obvious cause of this problem could be that your bra band is far too tight for you. You might be wearing your bra on the tightest clasp to get some extra support. However, if it&#8217;s tight on your ribcage, it could rub you and cause discomfort and pain throughout the day.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_my_breasts_fall_out_of_the_bottom_of_my_bra\"><\/span>Why do my breasts fall out of the bottom of my bra?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Your breast tissue spills out of the bottom and sides of your bra for one of two reasons: you&#8217;re either wearing the wrong cup size, or you&#8217;re wearing the wrong bra style for your breast shape. Very often, it&#8217;s simply a matter of the cups being too small.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_know_your_cup_size\"><\/span>How do you know your cup size?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Take a loose measurement around the fullest part of your bust.<\/li>\n<li>Subtract your band size from your bust size. The difference between the two will determine your cup size.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_I_know_if_my_cup_size_is_too_big\"><\/span>How do I know if my cup size is too big?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a gap at the top of the cups. This one is fairly simple to recognize. When you look down at your bra do you notice space between your breasts and the cup? If so, it&#8217;s too big. If you aren&#8217;t able to see any gaps while standing up, try leaning over while looking into a mirror.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_underwire_snap\"><\/span>Why does my underwire snap?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wearing the wrong size around the body (for example, you&#8217;re wearing a size 14 instead of a 16), the bra is overstretched. This forces the underwire out of shape with repeated stress and tension on the metal. This can cause the metal to fracture and break free or force the wires through the casing.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_should_a_bra_last\"><\/span>How long should a bra last?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s generally recommended that a bra should last anywhere between 6-9 months, although we think that with good care your bras should last a lot longer. We encourage you to look after them as much as they look after you &#8211; extending the life of your clothes by even a small amount has a significant environmental benefit.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_should_the_underwire_of_a_bra_sit\"><\/span>Where should the underwire of a bra sit?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Your bra&#8217;s underwire should sit flat against your chest and around the contour of your breast without digging in or gaping. No part of your breast tissue should sit under or between the wire compartments. The underwire is a vital component of your bra&#8217;s ability to lift and support, particularly for fuller cup sized.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_shorten_an_underwire\"><\/span>How do you shorten an underwire?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Now to cut the wires: Use the sharpie to mark where you want to cut the underwires.  <\/li>\n<li>Use a Dremel tool to smooth the cut edges of the wire.  <\/li>\n<li>Wait a second and while the tubing is still warm, pinch any excess together firmly and then fold the excess over the wire.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_should_the_bra_cup_end\"><\/span>Where should the bra cup end?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>When your breasts are in their cups and hoisted to where they should be, your bra cup apex should be halfway between the top of your shoulder and your elbow. If lower than this, your band is probably too large and not giving your breasts enough support.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Step 1: Cut Your Underwire Channeling.
