Best bra for older women
If you’ve ever felt lost while trying to find the right bra, you’re not alone. Not only is the topic a somewhat personal one, there’s not a lot of readily available information out there — especially when it comes to bras for older women. Still, it’s important to educate yourself about the specific undergarments you need as your body changes with age.
To get a good fit, take note of your breasts’ shape, fullness, proportions, position, and spacing. The main thing to remember is that if your bra or your breasts are sagging when you put your undergarments on, the band or the cups might be too big.

Whatever you’re looking for in a bra, we’ve done the legwork to help you find the right choice. Here are our favorite bras for older women that will give you the boost you need.
