FAQs

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

This is a high-impact sports bra, ideal for activities such as running, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), cross-training, and other vigorous exercises where significant breast support is needed.

Can the straps be adjusted for a custom fit?

Yes, the straps are fully adjustable, and they also feature a J-hook that allows them to be converted into a racerback style for enhanced range of motion and a secure fit.

How should I clean this sports bra?

It is recommended to hand wash the bra only using a mild detergent in cool water. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, ironing, and dry cleaning to maintain the fabric's integrity and support.

What is the benefit of the underwire design?

The underwire provides structured support and lift, which is crucial for high-impact activities, helping to minimize breast movement and enhance comfort during intense exercise. The silicone padding adds an extra layer of comfort.

What does 'molded seam-free cups' mean?

This means the cups are pre-shaped and do not have visible seams. This design provides a smooth, streamlined appearance under clothing and reduces the risk of irritation or chafing during physical activity.

How do I convert the straps to a racerback?

The bra features a J-hook on the back of the straps. Simply connect the hook to the loop on the other strap to create the racerback style.

What materials are used in this bra?

The description mentions lightweight, breathable material for comfort, and specific elements like a silicone padded wire casing. The primary materials are often a blend of polyester and elastane for performance and comfort, though silk is also mentioned in the variant attributes.

Troubleshooting

Bra feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the hook-and-eye closure at the back or readjust the shoulder straps. Ensure you have selected the correct band and cup size according to the Freya sizing guide.

Underwire is uncomfortable or digging in

Ensure the underwire casing is sitting correctly beneath the breast tissue. Check that the band size is appropriate, as an incorrect band size can cause the underwire to sit incorrectly. The silicone padding aims to enhance comfort, but if discomfort persists, this style might not be the best fit for your needs.

Straps are slipping

Tighten the adjustable shoulder straps. If the racerback conversion is used, ensure the J-hook is securely fastened. If the issue persists, the bra may need to be replaced if it is old or stretched.

Material feels less breathable

Ensure the bra is clean and free of detergent residue. Check that the perforations in the cups and fabric are not blocked by dirt or sweat. Proper hand washing will help maintain breathability.
