Quick answer
Choose the 75 band if your underbust measures approximately 75 cm (29.5 in) and you prefer a snug fit. Choose the 95 band if your underbust measures around 95 cm (37.5 in) and you need more room or have a larger ribcage. The Samos Soft swim bra offers soft, unpadded cups with adjustable straps for a natural shape, but the band is the key to proper support.
Why band size matters for swim bras
A swim bra's band provides most of the support, especially for fuller busts. A band that is too loose will ride up and let the cups shift, while a band that is too tight can dig in and restrict breathing. The Samos Soft model uses a soft, non-wired cup design, so the band and adjustable straps do the heavy lifting for comfort and stability.
The trade-off between snug and loose
A 75 band offers a firmer hold, which is ideal if you are between sizes or want extra security during active swimming. However, it may feel restrictive if you have a broader ribcage or prefer a relaxed fit. The 95 band provides more breathing room and is better for longer beach days, but it may not offer enough support for vigorous movement if your underbust is closer to 85 cm.
Diagnosing your band size
- Symptom: The band rides up your back or the cups shift when you move.
- Likely cause: Your band is too loose. Measure your underbust snugly just below the bust. If it is around 75 cm (29.5 in), you likely need the 75 band. If it is around 95 cm (37.5 in), the 95 band may still be too loose if you are actually between sizes. If your underbust measures 85 cm or less, the 95 band will probably be too loose.
- Corrective action: Try the 75 band if your underbust is 73–78 cm. Use the tightest hook setting initially, as the band will stretch slightly over time. If the 75 band feels too tight, move to the 95 band only if your underbust is 93–98 cm.
- Stop or choose another option: If your underbust falls outside 73–78 cm or 93–98 cm, the Samos Soft in these band sizes may not fit well. Consider a different Nessa swim bra model with more band options or a different cup style. For underbust measurements between 79 and 92 cm, neither 75 nor 95 will provide a proper fit.
