Bra lovers of the world will be well acquainted with the elation at finding the perfect bra. However, if you find a bra that's perfect apart from being a tad too tight in the back, bra extenders in a variety of colors will save the day. Of course, you could just buy a bra in your exact size, but let's be real: There are times when you have no alternative but to use a bra extender.
One occasion is when you find the most divine brassiere that's in a huge sale — you couldn't afford it at full price, unless you wanted to put your apartment up on Airbnb for a month and move back in with your parents — but it doesn't quite fit around your back. Fear not, lingerie queen! A bra extender will give you that little bit of extra wiggle room, so you can take your new prized possession home with you instead of leaving it on the sale rail.
In addition to this, you probably know by now that bodies tend to fluctuate in size, so if your boobs have grown don't throw out all your favorite bras just yet, use bra extenders instead. This also goes for ladies who are expecting; sure, there'll likely come a time when you can't fit into any of your bras, but in the meantime you can experiment with bra extenders.
So here's a bunch of bra extenders in a spectrum of colors to breathe new life into your tight bras.
1. The Traditional White
