Back fat is one of those body parts that we don’t really talk about much, but it’s definitely worth looking into. Back fat is another term for abdominal fat.
Abdominal fat is sometimes referred to as “backfat” because it hangs down below your belt. But, backfat can also mean a little bit of extra weight in a woman’s waist, or older, woman’s v-section.
Backfat can either be visible or invisible, but when it is, it can affect a woman differently. Some women find that they cannot find the right sized bra to fit their shape and correct backfat hiding needs. Luckily, there are several ways to get the right fit and hide the backfat on your own behalf.

Pick a bra with a thick shoulder strap
This helps prevent any back fat from slipping out of the bra. A thin shoulder straphei can allow those with very back fat to easily remove the bra if it is not working. Also, a thick shoulder straphei can help prevent other wardrobe pieces from falling out.
Another tip is to buy your normal size first. If you find that it is too big, you can cut off the extra material at the bottom and put it back on. By having a small initial size, you have more options when getting a new one.
When trying different types of bras, find one that: feels right; feels supportive; feels comfortable; and feels good on the body.
Get a bra with wide sides
A narrow-sided bra can back fat into a higher area, called a pear shape. This is also called a D-shape, or deeper than round.
When fat is back in the center, it sticks out at the edges and looks thicker. A wider-sided bra can help with this by making the fat appear less thick.
A comfortable wide-sided bra can also help prevent under or over compensations in the body when you are wearing it. When looking for a new bras, try going with a brand that has an equal amount of soft and firm bras. You want to be able to find one that matches your shape and needs!
To find the right width-width gap for your bra, try looking between your shoulders and see if there is any fat on you that seems wider than the rest of you. If so, try getting a smaller bra to cover this up.
Try a bras with an underwire
An underwire may help hide back fat, especially in a tighter size. A foam or leather band may also help reduce back fat, especially in a larger size.
A foam or leather band may also help reduce other symptoms such as dry skin and smell, which can be troublesome for some. A plastic bag may help protect your back fat from the wind and water, helping you stayurer for a longer period of time.
A waistband may prevent your breast milk from leaking out during breastfeeding, which can be very valuable when trying to keep weight in.
Go for a tight-fitting T-shirt underneath your bra
A tight-fitting, short-length shirt is the best way to hide back fat. A long, flowing skirt or dress can be put on a hanger and pulled up at the waist to expose those precious assets.
In order for a bra to fit comfortably, it needs to be fitted at the bottom and extend up around the bust. A comfortable bra that does not stick out or cause pain can be ideal.
Some people cannot wear a banded or soft-supporting bra because they are afraid they will break apart under their large breasts. A strong-supporting bra may work better with this person!
The right size bra can make a big difference in how much clothes slip off of you and how much support you get.
Choose one that is high-cut
A low-cut bra can also help back fat Damian Gough recommends a tight-fitting, high-cut leather sportsbra for this reason. A leather sportsbra can help hide back fat while also providing some additional support.
Most low-cut brazers are cut narrow around the arms and legs, which may be useful for supporting larger breasts. A tight bra can also help conceal more of the chest shape, although a tight bra can also increase the risk of breakage.
A breakage risk may be higher in a tighter-fitting bra, as the shape of the breast may not stay put during wear.
Straps should not be too wide or too loose
Too wide or too loose straps can be a cause of back fat hiding and sticking to the sides of your breasts. If a bra has wider or more loose straps, it can cause this.
A narrow band along the top of the bra can also help prevent this. A banded bra may be less comfortable than a regular rectangular one, but that benefit is greater over time.
Another way to fight this is to find a better fit. Try smaller sizes first and if that does not help, then get bigger size! Heavier bras may need to be replaced with light ones to help prevent this.
The right fit is important
If you are wearing a size 34D, you should be wearing a bandage-like size 36C to achieve the right fit. The same goes for any size up or down.
Size bands prevent clothes from slipping off your body, which is why it is important to find the right size for your frame. When looking for a new bra, try all of the sizes on yourself to see if you need another cup size or weight gain in the bandage effect.
Some women find that a molded shape helps them find their fit better and save some cash in the process. A cuter and more comfortable shape can be buying into the shape of your breasts instead of trying to escape it.
Cutting and hiding fat may seem opposite words, but they are actually very similar.
Know your size
A cup is the smallest unit of breast size in the U.S. A medium is a small, middle, or large A cup is larger. If you are a small, medium, or large A cup there are bras for that size. If you are a B or C cup there are models with that size sized bands, but none that fit both breasts well and look good in clothes.
Most full-on D-cup bras do not have wider band centers and closer spacing between bands. This is because most people who wear A–D cups look better in tighter fitting pieces that can hide any back fat.
When choosing a bra try them on in different places like on your chest, under your arms, over your chest, and over your back to determine how they fit and how much back fat they cover up. You can also use Leesa Segera software to do this for you.
