How should I wash this bra to ensure its longevity?

What sizes are available for this bra?

Can I wear this bra under tight-fitting clothing?

What material is the bra made of?

The bra is made of 62% Polyamide, 20% Elastane, and 18% Polyester (exclusive of trims).

What makes the straps comfortable?

The bra features wide, padded front straps that are designed to be kind to the shoulders, reducing red marks and improving comfort.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging into shoulders

Ensure the bra is the correct size. If it is, adjust the strap length to a comfortable setting. The wide padded straps are designed to minimize discomfort, but incorrect band size can still cause issues.

Bra band riding up

Check if the band size is correct. The band should be snug and sit parallel to the floor. If it's too loose, it will ride up. Consider if a smaller band size is needed.

Cups not providing enough coverage or minimizing effect

Verify that the cup size is correct. Ensure your entire breast is within the cup and that there is no spillage. If you are between sizes, consulting a professional fitter might be beneficial.

Discomfort under the arms

Ensure the bra's underarm casing is sitting smoothly against the skin and not folded or digging in. Sometimes a slight adjustment in how the bra is put on can resolve this.
