Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this bra suitable for sleeping?
This bra is designed for daytime wear and provides support. It is not recommended for sleeping, as sleeping bras are typically softer, unlined, and without underwire.
How do I know my correct size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically available on their website or product page. Ensure you measure your band size (around your ribcage) and your cup size (the difference between your bust measurement and band measurement).
Can I machine wash this bra?
No, machine washing is not recommended. The gentle hand wash method is advised to protect the fabric, underwire, and elastic components from damage.
What does 'unpadded' and 'unlined' mean?
'Unpadded' means there is no extra foam or padding inserted into the cups. 'Unlined' means the cups are made of a single layer of fabric, offering a natural shape and feel.
How does the underwire provide support?
The underwire is sewn into the base of each cup, curving up around the breast. It helps to lift the breast tissue and provide shape and support by anchoring the bra firmly against the ribcage.
What is the advantage of the U-shaped back?
A U-shaped back, often called a 'balconette' or 'racerback' style depending on strap placement, helps to keep the bra straps from slipping and provides additional support by distributing the tension across a wider area of your back.
Does the lace scratch or irritate the skin?
The lace used is typically designed to be soft and flexible, intended to lie flat against the skin. However, individual sensitivity can vary. The flat seam construction also helps to minimize irritation.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels uncomfortable or is digging in.
Ensure you have selected the correct band and cup size. Adjust the shoulder straps and hook & eye closure for a better fit. Check that the underwire is sitting correctly against the body.
Seams are still visible under thin clothing.
While designed to be discrete, very thin or clingy fabrics might still show seams. Consider layering or choosing garments with a bit more structure.
Straps are slipping.
Adjust the shoulder straps using the provided adjusters. Ensure the back band is fastened on the loosest hook & eye setting that still provides a secure fit, then tighten straps as needed.
Underwire feels uncomfortable or is poking.
This can sometimes occur if the bra is too small in the cup, or if the underwire casing has been damaged during washing. Ensure proper hand-washing techniques are followed.
