FAQs

Can I put this bra in the washing machine?

No, this product is recommended for hand wash only to protect the mesh detailing and hardware.

How much does it reduce my bust size?

The minimiser technology is designed to reduce the visual appearance of the bust by up to one size.

Why can't I tumble dry this bra?

High heat from a tumble dryer can damage the rings and straps, causing them to warp or break prematurely.

Is this suitable for a fuller bust?

Yes, this bra is specifically tailored to provide support and smoothing for fuller busts.

Does it have underwire?

The design focuses on providing a smooth silhouette; please check the specific tag for your variant as some versions of this line include underwire for extra structure.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging into shoulders

Adjust the strap length to ensure they are even and not overly tightened, or ensure the back band is not too loose, which forces the straps to carry too much weight.

Cup fabric wrinkling under clothing

Ensure the bra is positioned correctly on the ribcage and that the breasts are fully contained within the cups. If wrinkling persists, you may need a different cup size.

Hardware damage

If a strap ring or slider feels loose, stop machine washing immediately; always hand wash to prevent further stress on the metallic components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, ensure you are wearing the correct size, as the minimiser effect relies on the proper fit of the cups. To care for this garment, you must hand wash only in cool water. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric. It is critical that you do not tumble dry this bra, as the heat can cause the hardware, straps, and delicate rings to break or degrade. Lay the item flat to dry in a shaded area to preserve the elasticity of the materials.
