Troubleshooting

Strap slippage

Ensure straps are adjusted correctly and securely fastened. If slippage persists, check for wear and tear on the strap adjusters.

Underwire discomfort

Verify that the correct cup size and band size are being worn. An incorrect fit can cause the underwire to dig in. Consult the sizing guide if unsure.

Fading color or loss of elasticity

Follow care instructions precisely. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high heat, which can degrade the fabric.

Gold-effect ring tarnishing

Rinse the item thoroughly after each use, especially in chlorinated or salt water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods on the hardware.
