FAQs

What makes the cotton in this bra 'organic'?

Organic cotton is grown without the use of synthetic chemicals, pesticides, insecticides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It is produced with a focus on minimal environmental impact and biodiversity.

Is this bra suitable for active sports?

This bra is designed for everyday comfort and moderate support. For high-impact activities, a sports-specific bra with higher compression and support would be more appropriate.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing guide or consult with a professional bra fitter. Ensure you measure your band size and cup size accurately for the best fit.

Can I machine wash this bra?

Yes, it is generally recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors. Always check the specific care label on the product for the most accurate instructions.

What is the main benefit of the non-underwired design?

The non-underwired design provides enhanced comfort for all-day wear by eliminating pressure points associated with underwires.

Does the bra offer any shaping or lift?

The bra offers gentle lift and shaping through its full-cup design and supportive elasticated band. It does not provide significant push-up or minimizing effects.

What does 'non-padded' mean for this bra?

'Non-padded' means the cups do not contain any additional foam or padding. This results in a natural look and feel without added volume.

Troubleshooting

Bra straps slipping

Ensure the straps are adjusted to the correct, snug length. If slipping persists, check that the bra size is correct overall and consider washing the bra as per care instructions, as fabric softener residue can sometimes cause slipping.

Band riding up

The band may be too large. Ensure you are selecting the correct band size. Adjust the hook and eye closures to the tightest setting initially if you are between sizes or the band is new and has more stretch.

Discomfort under the bust

Check that the elasticated band is lying flat against the skin and is not twisted. Ensure the bra size is correct, as a band that is too tight can cause discomfort.

Cups not fitting properly (gapping or spilling)

The cup size may be incorrect. Ensure your entire breast is fitting within the cup without spillage or excessive gapping. Adjust the straps to see if this resolves the fit issue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers excellent everyday comfort due to its non-underwired and non-padded design.

  • Adjustable straps and supportive band ensure a customizable and secure fit.
  • Full cup coverage provides a sense of security and containment.
  • Attractive scalloped detailing adds a subtle aesthetic appeal.

Cons

  • May not provide the shaping or lift desired by individuals looking for a minimizer or push-up bra.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
