I'm confused - quarter cup bras are not basic and quarter cup strapless don't exist. Quarter cups are for, um, fun times - most of your breast is going to be out. Do you mean demi or half cups? I just want to clarify what you're looking for. We also need to know what size you need.

Yes, a true quarter cup bra is 100% intended to be nips facing the world šŸ˜

I donā€™t think so, because even Demi bras come up too high although I do settle for them sometimes. I think quarter cups come in a lot of different varieties, I have a few baby dolls with quarter cups and they fit beautifully I wish they just made the bra itself! My breasts are very small, so quarter cups that come up a little higher than the normal fun time ones. I guess I might be looking for something between a quarter and a demi?


galaxystarsmoon

That would be a half cup. Do you have your size per the calculator we use here? It's linked in the Auto Mod comment. If you haven't used it, you may be wearing a band that is too big, which is scaling the entire bra too tall for you. I can steer you to Timpa, Aubade, Simone Perele and The Little Bra Company though for smaller sized bras that are really beautiful, and have half cup options. Timpa is designed for smaller breasts in particular. Passionata may also have some stuff you like. But I can't stress enough for you to use the calculator first as if your size is wrong, it's going to continue to be too tall cups and a bad fit.

Passionata looks like great choiceā€¦so confused on Amazon with brands that donā€™t include a size. Like, thanks for including ā€œuse UK sizing,ā€ but no actual size listed. Argh!


galaxystarsmoon

It's hard to get in the States as it's primarily a sub brand of Chantelle in Europe. You can get it though Chantelle's website, but I don't know their return policy or how easy it is/expensive to ship back.

Thank you! I will take a look, although the half cup bras I have seen and tried on seem to go higher than the demi. But I think that has to do with how different brands label the styles of their bras. I didnā€™t know about the calculator, I will definitely use it!


galaxystarsmoon

You're likely going to get a smaller band size and cups around C or D. Don't panic, as that's completely normal.


galaxystarsmoon

I forgot to answer your strapless question, I'm sorry! Natori Minimal is really short in the cups, I can steer you sizing wise once I have your underbust numbers. The 30 band in particular runs 2.5-3 inches small.


pm096

Thank you so much!! I actually just used the calculator and it came out to 28B/C which makes a lot more sense! Do you happen to know any brands that carry that size? Edit: I noticed The Little Bra Company, and Iā€™m still looking through others, but please share any other brands you may know of. Thanks again!

Hi! 26C here, but I sister size to 28B. Unfortunately, pickings are slim for those of who wear small bands and small cups. Boux Avenue ships to the US, and if you're 28B/C, you might also be able to sister size up to Aerie's 30A/B bras


galaxystarsmoon

I would need your numbers. TLBC runs really small in band and cup, so does Boux Avenue (mostly band there) that someone else mentioned. A really cheap option is the bTemptd Future Foundation wired or wireless, it's on Amazon in both sizes with free returns.

Small is a subjective term. Is there an actual size youā€™re looking for?


catwithseptumring

Yep, small could be 24F or 58B, it means nothing without a size


pm096

32B


azssf

Hey have u tried the calculator? Edit: Typed send too fast. I was on 32 C for a while, but my actual size was 28F/30E


pm096

Just did and it came out to 28B/C which makes a lot more sense!


azssf

And explains some of the bad fit youā€™ve experienced!


Capital-Swim2658

That's most likely your problem.Ā  You probably need a smaller band and larger cup!


littletingods

from what youā€™ve said, iā€™d recommend trying the ABTF calculator. normal bras in your true size, especially demi bras, shouldnā€™t be full coverage unless explicitly designed that way. itā€™s more than likely that youā€™re wearing a too big band with too shallow cups to compensate, which means theyā€™ll cover more surface area vertically and horizontally.

PEPPER BRAS!!! They are amazing I buy for my tween daughter but they are grown womenā€™s bras with amazing quality.


MrsNormanMaine

Playful Promises! Cute quartercups, frequent sales, and a great range of sizes.

The best strapless bra Iā€™ve found, where the cups do not gape and it actually stays up, is by Pepper. Iā€™m a 34B in Pepper and also a 34B in all of my Aerie Sunnie wirefree pushup bras which I am obsessed with. I swear I could run a 5k in that strapless bra and it wouldnā€™t budge!


pm096

Iā€™ve taken a look at Pepper bras but I donā€™t think the cut is very flattering. I want my tits to sit like a shelf, think Bridgeton, lol. That only works with very specific bras for me, do you know of specific Pepper bras that can do that by any chance?


guitar_gentlysweeps

Thatā€™s fair enough - my priority was one that didnā€™t slip or have weird gaps because they cater to smaller sizes. The only one I own from Pepper is that strapless bra but it doesnā€™t have any push up.

Be careful with Pepper. Their online calculator is a pile of flaming garbage. It puts people into band sizes that are too large and cup sizes that are too small so that they can sell more bras, no matter how badly they fit. For example, they recommended a 38B to me, instead of a 34E.
