FAQs

How does the minimiser bra work?

The minimiser bra works by distributing the breast tissue more evenly across the cup and chest, creating a visually smaller and smoother silhouette. It doesn't compress uncomfortably but rather reshapes and spreads for a minimizing effect.

What is the main benefit of the padded straps?

The wide padded front straps are designed to distribute weight more evenly across your shoulders, providing superior comfort and reducing pressure points, especially for those with a larger bust.

Can I machine wash this bra?

No, this bra is hand wash only. Machine washing, especially with a high spin cycle or heat, can damage the underwire, straps, and fabric.

Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the combination of smooth cups, high coverage, and comfortable padded straps makes it suitable for everyday wear, especially under fitted clothing.

What does 'underwired' mean?

Underwired bras have a metal or plastic wire sewn into the base of each cup. This wire provides support, lift, and shape to the bust.

How do I know if I have the right size?

A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting snugly and level on your back, the cups should fully contain the breast tissue without spillage, and the straps should stay in place without digging in or falling down.

What materials is the bra made from?

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

Troubleshooting

Underwire poking out

If the underwire casing becomes damaged and the wire starts to poke through, discontinue use and consider repair or replacement. This can happen with excessive wear or improper washing.

Straps digging in

Ensure the bra is the correct size and the straps are adjusted properly. If the issue persists, the bra may be too small, or you may need to consider a different style with wider straps or more support.

Bra not providing enough support

Check that the band is sitting level and comfortably on your back. If the band is too loose, it cannot provide adequate support. Ensure you are wearing the correct cup size.
