Are you sure you have the correct size for you? A new bra is tight as it is the band, not the staps, that do most of the work and correct band size is the first issue. It will equate closely, in a male body, to the under bust measurement and should do up, on the middle row of hooks, at least. Getting a bra that is right for you is very hit and miss, unless you can try on before purcase and even then unexpected issues can arise.
