FAQs

What makes this bra 'non-padded'?

The 'non-padded' aspect means the bra cups do not have any added foam or padding. It relies on the construction of the fabric and underwire to provide shape and support, offering a more natural feel and appearance.

How does the plunge style differ from other bra styles?

A plunge bra has a low center gore (the part between the cups) and cups that are cut lower. This design is ideal for low-cut tops and creates a flattering cleavage.

What does 'underwired' mean?

Underwired bras have a thin, flexible wire sewn into the bottom of each cup. This wire provides structure, support, and lift to the breasts.

Is this bra suitable for very active days?

While designed for comfort and support, its lightweight and breathable nature makes it suitable for many daily activities. For high-impact activities, a sports bra is generally recommended.

How do I know if I'm wearing the correct size?

A properly fitting bra should have the band sitting comfortably level on your back, the cups fully containing your breasts without spillage or wrinkling, and the straps should stay in place without digging in.

Can this bra be machine washed?

It is strongly recommended to hand wash the bra with a mild detergent in cool water. Machine washing can damage the delicate materials and underwire, reducing the bra's lifespan and effectiveness.

What is the 'lifestyle' aspect of this bra?

The 'Lifestyle' designation typically means the bra is designed for everyday comfort and wearability, blending style with practical support for various daily activities.

Troubleshooting

Bra feels uncomfortable or digs in.

Ensure you have selected the correct band and cup size. The band should sit level on your back, and the cups should fully encompass the breast without gapping or spillage. Try adjusting the shoulder straps.

Straps are slipping.

Check that the straps are adjusted correctly. If they continue to slip, the band might be too loose, or the straps may need replacing if they are stretched out.

Underwire is uncomfortable.

Ensure the underwire is sitting in the correct position, encasing the breast tissue. If it consistently pokes or digs, the cup size might be too small, or the bra may not be the right style for your shape.

Lack of support.

Verify the band size is correct and snug. The band provides the majority of the support. Ensure the cups are fully encompassing the breast without spillage.
