Best Bras for Asymmetric Breasts: Stretch Lace Styles, Alterations & Balancers

Do your bras wrinkle on one side or does breast tissue spill out on the other? You’re not alone. Breast asymmetry is completely normal and incredibly common, so let’s talk about the solutions if it's bothering you.

What Are Asymmetric Breasts?

Asymmetric breasts simply mean that one breast is a different size, shape, or position than the other. In fact, almost everyone has some degree of difference between their right and left breast, and often it's the left breast that's larger. For some, the size difference is subtle, and for others, the difference may be one or more cup sizes.

This variation can be caused by:

• Natural body differences and posture

• Favouring one side when carrying your handbag, or breastfeeding

• Mild scoliosis or spinal rotation

• Medical conditions like Poland Syndrome

• Post-surgical changes, such as lumpectomy or radiation
  

As a breast cancer survivor myself, having had both a lumpectomy and radiation, I understand firsthand how difficult it can be to find a well-fitting bra after surgery or treatment. But with proper guidance and a few smart tools, it’s possible.

Bra Fitting Tips for Asymmetric Breasts

When fitting for asymmetry, always fit to the larger breast. A bra that’s too small on one side can cause:

• Painful underwire digging

• Premature wear and tear

• Popped wires or broken cups

A great fit on the larger side is the first step toward both comfort and long-term support.

Why Stretch Lace Bras Are a Game-Changer

Stretch lace bras are one of the most forgiving options when dealing with uneven breast sizes. Here’s why:

• Adapts to Your Shape: Stretch lace flexes with your body, which helps even out visible differences between the cups.

• Reduces Gaping & Wrinkling: Especially useful for the smaller side, stretch lace cups conform gently to the breast instead of standing away.

• Soft & Supportive: Many styles combine stretch lace with support panels, offering lift and structure without rigid fabrics.
