FAQs
Is this bra suitable for very large busts?
Yes, the Berlei Beauty Stripe Smoothing Bra is specifically designed to support fuller busts and larger back sizes, up to a 44G.
What is the main benefit of the non-padded cups?
Non-padded cups offer a natural feel and shape, preventing added bulk and contributing to a smoother silhouette under clothing.
How should I wash this bra?
It is best to hand wash the bra in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and do not tumble dry.
Can I wear this bra under tight-fitting clothes?
Yes, the non-padded smoothing cups and minimizing design are intended to create a smooth and streamlined appearance, making it suitable for tight-fitting clothing.
What does 'minimiser' mean in this context?
A minimiser bra helps to reduce the visual projection of the bust, creating a more streamlined and less voluminous shape under clothing.
Are the straps comfortable for extended wear?
The bra features reinforced padded straps designed to provide extra comfort and support, helping to alleviate pressure during extended wear.
Does this bra offer any push-up effect?
No, this is a smoothing and minimizing bra. It does not provide a push-up effect; its design focuses on reducing volume and creating a smooth line.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Adjust the straps to a looser setting. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly at the base of your back. If the issue persists, consider if a larger cup size or different bra style is needed.
Underwire discomfort
Ensure the underwire channels are correctly positioned under the breast tissue. If discomfort continues, the underwire might be the wrong shape for your body, or a non-wired bra might be a better alternative.
Bra not smoothing effectively
Verify the bra size is correct, as an ill-fitting bra will not smooth properly. Ensure the cups are fully encompassing the breast tissue without spillage.
Bra losing shape
Follow the recommended care instructions precisely. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these can damage the fabric and elastic, leading to loss of shape.
