FAQs
How do I find the right size for this bra?
To find your correct size, measure your underbust for the band size and your fullest bust for the cup size. Refer to Ann Summers' official sizing guide, as sizes can vary between brands. A proper fit ensures maximum comfort and the intended boost effect.
Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, despite its boost features, the Ann Summers Sexy Lace Padded Boost Bra is designed for comfort and is suitable for daily wear. Its construction aims for a balance of enhancing shape and everyday wearability.
What does 'twice the cleavage boost' mean?
This refers to the significant push-up effect created by the graduated padded cups, designed to lift and centralize the bust, giving the appearance of enhanced cleavage compared to non-padded or lightly padded bras.
How should I care for my Sexy Lace Padded Boost Bra?
For best results and to preserve the delicate materials, hand wash your bra in cold water with a mild detergent. Gently squeeze out excess water and air dry by laying it flat or hanging it. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, and ironing.
What are the sustainable materials used in this bra?
The lace used in this bra is made with 50% recycled fibers, and the mesh is made from a minimum of 70% recycled yarns. This commitment to recycled materials contributes to a more sustainable product.
Can this bra be paired with other lingerie?
While it is specifically designed to complete a set with Ann Summers Sexy Lace briefs, its classic white color and elegant lace design allow it to be versatile and paired with various other lingerie styles or worn under different outfits.
Is the padding in the cups removable?
No, the Ann Summers Sexy Lace Padded Boost Bra features 'gradually padded cups' which implies the padding is integrated and not designed to be removed. This fixed padding is essential for achieving the intended push-up effect.
Troubleshooting
Bra doesn't provide enough boost or lift.
Ensure you have the correct cup size and band size. A bra that is too large in the cup or too loose in the band will not offer optimal lift. Adjust the shoulder straps to achieve a comfortable, upward lift without causing discomfort.
Underwire feels uncomfortable or digs in.
This often indicates an incorrect size. Check if the band is too tight or too loose, or if the cups are too small. The underwire should sit flat against your rib cage, just under the breast tissue. Try a different size or sister size.
Shoulder straps slip or dig in.
Adjust the strap length until they feel secure but not tight. If straps constantly slip, your band size might be too loose, meaning the band isn't providing enough support and putting too much strain on the straps. If they dig in, loosen them slightly or consider if the cup or band size is incorrect, causing the straps to take on too much weight.
Lace snags or tears easily.
Lace is delicate. Always handle your bra with care, especially when putting it on or taking it off. When washing, place it in a mesh laundry bag if using a machine (though hand washing is preferred) to prevent snagging on other garments or machine parts.
