Best Bra For Back Fat

The biggest factor contributing to unsightly bulges around your bra is simply wearing the wrong size bra. A band that's too tight will push your skin and fat outside your bra leading to the appearance of back fat. To avoid this, you might be tempted to wear a bra with a band that's too big, but we advise against this. If your band is too big, you're more likely to tighten the straps to make up for the lack of band support which will only lead to bulges in a different spot.

While the main culprit of "back fat" is wearing the wrong size bra, it's important to remember that even the thinnest of women are likely going to have a little bit of bulging around the bra. Your bra should be snug to give you the support you need, and that snugness usually comes with some minor lumps, but putting on a shirt is likely all you need to make them disappear. Also, keep in mind that the "back fat" you see in the mirror might not exist at all. Twisting your body to look in the mirror is going to cause rolls that might not be there otherwise, so try getting a friend to take a look or use a second mirror to see if standing straight makes those bumps disappear.

So, we've established that back fat is nothing to be ashamed of, but if you've determined that you're wearing the right bra size and are still feeling insecure, here are some bra solutions to help you get a smooth silhouette.

If you're looking to smooth out back fat, it's best to choose a bra with wide side and back panels. Thinner bands tend to squeeze your sides more pushing the skin out around the edges while thick bands help evenly disperse the pressure eliminating that pesky back fat. Additionally, side panels push the breast tissue forward preventing anything from spilling out the sides.
