FAQs
What makes the cotton organic?
The cotton is sourced from organic farming, which means it is grown without the use of synthetic chemicals, pesticides, insecticides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This process aims to minimize impact on biodiversity and the environment.
Is this bra suitable for post-surgery recovery?
While the non-underwired and soft cotton design offers comfort, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional regarding specific post-surgery needs. This bra provides moderate support and may not be suitable for all recovery phases.
How do I find my correct bra size?
Measure your band size by wrapping a soft measuring tape around the ribcage directly under your bust. Measure your cup size by measuring around the fullest part of your bust. Subtract the band size from the bust measurement to determine your cup size (refer to a standard bra size chart for specific calculations).
Can I wear this bra for exercise?
This bra is designed for everyday wear and light support. It is not recommended for high-impact or moderate-impact exercises, as it may not provide sufficient support to prevent movement.
What is the benefit of the supportive elasticated band?
The elasticated band is designed to sit snugly around your ribcage, providing a stable base for the bra. This helps to lift and support the bust while preventing the bra from shifting or riding up during daily activities.
Does the bra offer any shaping?
The bra offers a natural silhouette due to its full-cup, non-padded, and non-underwired design. It does not provide additional shaping or push-up effects.
What does 'non-underwired' mean?
'Non-underwired' means that the bra does not have the stiff, U-shaped wires typically found at the bottom of the cups. This offers greater comfort and flexibility, especially for those sensitive to underwires.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps dig into shoulders
Adjust the straps to a looser setting. Ensure the bra is the correct size; if the band is too tight, it can cause straps to dig in.
Band rides up
Check if the band size is correct. The band should sit snugly and parallel to the floor. The bra might be too large in the band.
Cups feel unsupportive
Ensure the cup size is correct. If the fabric is stretching or gaping, the cup may be too small. If there is excessive fabric, the cup may be too large. Consider if the non-underwired style meets your support needs.
Discomfort from seams or fabric
Ensure the bra is washed according to care instructions to maintain fabric softness. Try wearing it for shorter periods initially if you have sensitive skin.
