Are you small busted? Meaning you need a 30-34 band size and an AA, A, or B cup size? If you are, you may be wondering how to find the best bra for a small bust.
Being small busted has some advantages.
Less bouncing if you're active, and less chance of back pain. You can even skip wearing a bra altogether if you feel comfortable doing that. However, there are some problems too.
For one thing, it can be hard to even find anything in your size. Also, a lot of the bras are padded; fine if you prefer that, a bit of a pain if you don't. Or, you may find yourself stuck with bras meant for tweens. OK if you are a tween, but those bras are not right stylistically for an adult, and not constructed with an adult body in mind.
So what is the best bra for a small bust? And how do you find it?
Luckily, there are brands either dedicated to making bras for small busts, or with a good selection in smaller cup sizes. No more frustration; these bras come in sizes as small as 30A.
First up is Maidenform. Their bras tend to run small, so the 32 band and A cup could work for smaller sizes. They have several different ranges; the best bets for small busted women are the "One Fab Fit" and push-up styles. Then there's Timpa, a brand that specializes in smaller sizes. I've also found a Calvin Klein bra, and a Gossard style that have 30 bands, some in 30A and others in 30B. I've listed all the sizes at the end of the description for each garment.
Some of the others are meant for larger busted women (so be careful when you shop).
This bra starts at 32 band sizes (in C cup) and goes up to 42. come in larger cup sizes, but the larger size women who bought them had problems (they spilled out of the bra). You, however, can use that to your advantage! The lace band and racerback add an elegant touch.
Black, white, beige, glossy white, pearl, pale paisley pink, shell, white, coral black with gray trim, coral, and teal. Small cup sizes 34-42B, 32-40C,32D-40D and 40DD.
This is good news if you're a 26 band or AA cup, as the 28A might fit.
Sheer mesh plus support make this bra both sexy and practical. The cups are molded, not padded, which will give you a more natural, rounded looking shape. The material is stretchy which means it will adjust to better fit your body.
The triangular center panel will be more comfortable with wider-set breasts. It does run a bit shallow, and the band is a bit smaller than usual so size up if you want more coverage or if you are between cup sizes.
Comes in US sizes 32-38 A-C in beige, white, or black mesh.
Flattering, comfortable and it comes in lots of fun colors too. Why settle for just beige when you can have coral too? It's lightweight and has pretty scalloped lace along the edges and tops of the cups, plus more lace on the sides, under the band, and in the back.
There's a little bit of padding for modesty, but not enough to feel bulky or heavy.
US sizes 30A-DD, 32A-G, 34A-G, 36A-G, 38B-DD in white, beige, midnight blue, rose, cafe, truffle, caramel, pale blue, cherry red, turquoise, violet, pale blue, white/black, berry and lots of other colors (depending on size).
No lining, no padding, and stretch material that conforms to your shape for a better fit. The bandless design is ideal for those with shorter torsos (and it also makes the bra lighter and less bulky. The center panel is wide, so it's a good option if you are wide-set or go east-west.
Available in 30B-DD, 32-36B-DD, and 38B-D in black, beige, blue floral, ivory, and rose print.
No 30A in this, but it does have small band B cup sizes. It's sheer, shiny, and comes in lots of fun colors too. There's no padding (where would it go?), just you. The cups are stretchy so they will adjust to fit your body better. The straps on A-D cup sizes are also convertible, so you can wear it criss-crossed if you like. Since it's bandless, it's more comfortable if you are short.
Comes in UK sizes 30B-38G, 32-38A-G in white, black, beige, sage, brown, marine, pink, and two shades of red.
