FAQs
Is this bra suitable for very large busts?
Yes, this bra is designed to offer support and shape for fuller busts, available up to a J cup.
Can I wear this bra for exercise?
This bra is designed for everyday wear and offers good support for moderate activity. For high-impact activities, a dedicated sports bra is recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
A well-fitting bra should have the band sitting parallel to the floor, straps comfortable without digging, and cups fully enclosing the breast tissue without overflow or gaping. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably under the band.
What does 'non-padded' mean?
Non-padded means the bra cups do not have any extra foam or padding. They are typically made of fabric layers, offering a natural shape and silhouette.
Why is hand washing recommended?
Hand washing in cool water with a mild detergent helps to preserve the delicate fabrics, elasticity, and underwire structure of the bra, prolonging its lifespan and maintaining its shape.
What is the benefit of a plunge bra?
A plunge bra has a low center gore (the part between the cups) and cups that are cut lower. This design is ideal for wearing with low-cut tops and V-necklines, as it provides lift and shaping without being visible.
How does the breathable fabric help?
The breathable fabric allows air to circulate, which helps to wick away moisture and reduce heat buildup, keeping you more comfortable throughout the day, especially in warmer weather or during periods of activity.
Troubleshooting
Bra straps digging in
Adjust the shoulder straps to a comfortable setting. Ensure the bra band is fitting correctly, as a loose band can cause straps to bear too much weight.
Underwire poking or discomfort
Ensure the bra is the correct size and that the underwire channels are sitting smoothly against the body. Check for any signs of damage to the underwire casing.
Band riding up
The band may be too loose. Try tightening the band hooks or consider a smaller band size. Ensure the bra is fastened correctly on the loosest hooks initially.
Discomfort in the cups
Check if the cup size is appropriate. The breast tissue should be fully enclosed without gaping or spilling over. Adjust the straps if necessary.
