They are made differently, as all of us women are some cups are too close together in the front; some too far apart; some cups aren't shaped like me; etc. I dont typically have issues with redness unless I'm irritated by the bra material itself. Even if it fits well, it can bother me and I get the red marks. It took me a while to figure out what materials bother me and what don't, and I just try to pay attention to how I'm feeling on a particular day with a particular bra!! Sweating does make it worse with some bras, so I'm mindful of my activity when in a bra, too.
That's a good point. It did feel tight, so I think that was the issue, but I am the queen of contact dermatitis so a reaction to the elastic could also be an issue. One more thing to think about...
