Troubleshooting

Straps digging in

Adjust the straps to a looser setting. Ensure the bra band is at the correct level, as an ill-fitting band can cause straps to bear too much weight.

Underwire poking

Check that the bra is the correct size and shape for your body. Ensure the underwire casing is intact. If damaged, the bra may need replacement.

Bra not minimising effectively

Ensure the cups are fully enclosing the breasts and the centre gore is sitting flat against the sternum. Correct sizing is crucial for the minimising effect.

Discomfort after washing

Verify that the bra has been washed according to the hand-wash only instructions and has been laid flat to dry. Avoid harsh detergents.
