FAQs

Can I put this bra in the washing machine?

No, this product is hand wash only to protect the delicate mesh, straps, and underwire structure.

How much does the minimiser feature reduce the bust?

The bra is designed to minimise the appearance of the bust by up to one cup size.

Is this bra padded?

No, it features lightweight, non-padded, moulded cups for comfort and a smooth shape.

What materials are used?

It is made of 62% Polyamide, 20% Elastane, and 18% Polyester, excluding trims.

Does this bra come with matching underwear?

Yes, matching control briefs are available separately (search for U394L).

Will the bra be visible under thin shirts?

The smooth moulded cups are designed to be invisible under clothing, providing a seamless finish.

Troubleshooting

Straps feel uncomfortable or dig into shoulders

Adjust the length of the straps to ensure even weight distribution and verify that the band size is correct, as a loose band often causes straps to carry too much weight.

Underwire feels uncomfortable or pokes

Ensure the bra is positioned correctly against your ribcage. If the wire continues to poke, it may indicate that the cup size is too small or the bra has lost its shape due to improper washing.

Cup fabric looks uneven under clothing

Check that your breasts are fully contained within the moulded cups and that the center gore lies flat against your sternum.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, verify you are selecting your standard bra size, as this model is designed to be true to size. When putting on the bra, ensure the underwire sits flat against your ribcage and the straps are adjusted to sit comfortably on your shoulders without creating tension.

Care instructions are critical for this garment:

  • Washing: Hand wash only using a mild detergent.
  • Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry, as the heat can damage the elastic components, straps, and hardware.
  • Storage: Store flat or hung carefully to maintain the shape of the moulded cups.
