FAQs
How do I know if I have the right size?
The band should sit snugly and level on your back, and you should be able to fit two fingers underneath. The cups should fully enclose your breast tissue without any spillage or gaping.
Can this bra be used for activities other than running?
While engineered for running, its high support level makes it suitable for other high-impact activities like HIIT, cycling, or cross-training where significant bounce reduction is needed.
How often should I replace my sports bra?
Sports bras typically lose their elasticity and support after 12-18 months of regular use, depending on wear and care. Look for signs of stretching or reduced support.
Why should I avoid tumble drying?
Tumble dryers use high heat which can damage the elastic fibres in the fabric, as well as the plastic components like rings and adjusters, leading to premature wear and reduced support.
What makes this bra 'friction-free'?
The bra is constructed with smooth materials and design features intended to minimize seams and potential rubbing points, reducing irritation during repetitive motion.
Are the cups padded?
Yes, this bra features moulded, padded cups for an enhanced shape and additional comfort.
Troubleshooting
Bra feels too tight or too loose
Ensure you have selected the correct band and cup size. Refer to the size chart and try a different size if necessary.
Chafing or discomfort during a run
Check that the bra is fastened correctly. If discomfort persists, ensure the straps and band are not digging in and that the correct size has been chosen.
Straps or rings are damaged
This is often due to improper drying. Avoid tumble drying. If damage has occurred, the bra may need replacement.
