Full details

FAQs

What type of activities is this sports bra best suited for?

This sports bra is designed for high-impact activities such as running, HIIT, gym workouts, and cross-training, where maximum support and minimal bounce are required.

Can I convert the straps to a racerback style?

Yes, the bra features adjustable straps with a J-hook that allows for easy conversion to a racerback style, enhancing freedom of movement.

How do I determine my correct size?

It is recommended to measure your band size (around your ribcage) and your cup size (around the fullest part of your bust). Consult the Freya sizing guide for precise measurements and conversions. Ensure the band is snug and the cups fully enclose your breasts without gapping or spilling.

What material is the bra made from?

The bra is primarily made from polyester, chosen for its durability, moisture-wicking properties, and ability to provide support.

How should I wash and care for my Freya sports bra?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Air dry flat or hang, and do not tumble dry to preserve the fabric and elastic.

Is the underwire necessary for support?

The underwire is a key component for providing the enhanced support and lift characteristic of this high-impact sports bra. It works in conjunction with the full-cup design to minimize movement.

What is the benefit of the padded straps?

Padded straps offer an additional layer of comfort, reducing pressure on the shoulders during intense activity and helping to prevent chafing or discomfort.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging into shoulders

Adjust the straps to a looser setting. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly at the base of your ribcage, as a band that is too loose can cause straps to overcompensate.

Underwire is uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct band and cup size. The underwire should cup the breast tissue, not sit on it or dig into the armpit. Re-check sizing or consider if this underwired style is suitable for your activity level.

Bra feels too tight around the band

Check if you are using the loosest hook and eye setting. If it's still too tight, you may need to size up in the band. A proper fit means the band should be snug but comfortable, allowing you to fit two fingers underneath.

Fabric feels less breathable

Ensure the bra is clean and free from detergent residue. Follow care instructions carefully to maintain fabric performance. Excessive pilling or wear may indicate it's time for a replacement.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Use a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fabric and elastic.

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding underwires sharply, as this can damage their casing.
