UNDERWIRE CHECKLIST Underwire diameter is too small &#8211; The underarm end is <strong>poking<\/strong> 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>Considering this, why does the underwire in my <strong>bra<\/strong> poke my arm? 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 <strong>poking<\/strong> into your armpits, the cup size is too big or you&#8217;re wearing the wrong style.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, how do I keep my underwire bra from digging? <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Cup size \u2013 Try a larger cup size eg: E to F, this will allow more room for your breasts and the wires will sit further back.<\/li>\n<li>Band size \u2013 Try a larger band size eg: 38 to 40, if a bra is too small by stretching this to fasten it can cause the wires to become misshapen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Similarly, why is my underwire digging into my chest? If your underwire is too small it will be digging into your breast tissue. If it&#8217;s too large the underwire will sit too far outside of the breast tissue or there may be a gap underneath the breasts.Theoretically, yes, you could take the damaged underwire out of your <strong>bra<\/strong> and put a new one in. However, underwires come in so many lengths, shapes, and sizes that you&#8217;ll have a hard time finding a perfect match at your local haberdashery. Some brands even manufacture their own underwires.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_75 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/pinkclubwear.com\/how-to-fix-poking-bra-wire\/#Why_does_my_underwire_dig_into_my_armpits\" >Why does my underwire dig into my armpits?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/pinkclubwear.com\/how-to-fix-poking-bra-wire\/#How_do_you_shorten_an_underwire\" >How do you shorten an underwire?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/pinkclubwear.com\/how-to-fix-poking-bra-wire\/#Can_you_cut_bra_wire\" >Can you cut bra wire?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_does_my_underwire_dig_into_my_armpits\"><\/span>Why does my underwire dig into my armpits?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>If underwire is digging into your sides\/armpits, lays on top of your breasts, or isn&#8217;t flush against your sternum and ribs, the cup size too small. &#8230; Alternatively, the wires might be too short, which causes breast tissue or fat to spill out under the arms and the wire will poke at it, making the bra uncomfortable.<\/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=\"Can_you_cut_bra_wire\"><\/span>Can you cut bra wire?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>You only need about a 5\/8\u201d (16 mm) piece.
