DO you get a little back fat when your wearing a bra?
Did you know it was a good thing?
Hannah owns a bra store in the USA called Underpinnings Lingerie.
She stocks a wide range of sizes from 28A to 54N.
In a recent video she explained why seeing back fat when you're wearing a bra is a good thing.
Recounting a conversation between her and a customer she explained the reason behind this.
Hannah says: “Oh wow this bra looks amazing on you.”
A customer then says: “But you can see my back fat.”
Hannah says : “No! That’s totally normal in a well fitting bra.”
She continues: “How do we like this one?”
The customer says: “I like it but I don’t like my back fat still.”
Hannah says: “Everyone has back fat in a bra.”

Hannah wrote in the caption of her video explaining why this is.
She said: “It’s annoying, yes. But it’s a sign that your band is the right size. And yes. Everyone has back fat in a bra that fits well.”
Hannah says there’s a name for your back fat.
She said: “That annoying piece of back fat and armpit fat actually has a name. It’s called an 'auxiliary tail' or 'The Tail of Spence'."
She said: “This is actually a continuation of your boob tissue and is completely normal to have! While calling it a tail might be less flattering than calling it your armpit fat, it is without a doubt THE most often mentioned insecurity in our fitting rooms."
Hannah said: “Almost like clockwork, as soon as the first good bra goes on, the back fat and armpit fat gets mentioned."
Hannah says back fat is something we need to learn to live with.
She said: “But just like stretch marks, it’s perfectly normal to have, no matter your size! And while we learn to love ourselves a little more each day, why not show some love for our tails too??"
Hannah's video gained over 182,000 views.
Viewers confessed they still didn't like their back fat.
One commenter said: “I can’t do it though lol. Makes my clothes fit worse, and it’s sensory hell. It’s already hard enough to find H cups lol.”
Another said: “It's 2022 and we haven't solved this problem yet.”
