FAQs

What is the main benefit of the J-hook feature?

The J-hook allows you to easily convert the bra from a traditional shoulder strap design to a racerback style. This enhances freedom of movement, especially for activities requiring significant arm motion.

Is this bra suitable for low-impact activities?

While designed for high-impact, its supportive features can also be beneficial for moderate activities. However, it may offer more support than necessary for very low-impact exercises.

What material is the Freya Active High-Octane Sports Bra made from?

The primary material is polyester, known for its durability, moisture-wicking properties, and quick-drying capabilities, contributing to comfort during exercise.

Can I machine wash this sports bra?

No, this sports bra is recommended for hand wash only to preserve its structure, elasticity, and supportive features.

How do I ensure I choose the right size?

Refer to Freya's official sizing guide. Accurate measurements of your band and cup size are crucial. The underwire should sit comfortably around your breasts, and the band should be snug but not constricting.

What does 'moulded seam-free cups' mean?

It means the cups are pre-shaped and constructed without traditional stitching lines. This creates a smooth, comfortable surface against the skin and a seamless look under clothing.

Are the padded straps removable?

The product description indicates padded straps for comfort, but does not state they are removable. They are integrated into the design for enhanced comfort.

Troubleshooting

Straps dig into shoulders

Adjust the shoulder straps to a looser setting. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly at the base of your ribcage.

Underwire feels uncomfortable

Ensure the correct bra size is selected. The underwire should cup the breast tissue without digging into it. Try converting to the racerback style, which can sometimes alter pressure points.

Bra loses shape after washing

Confirm that you are hand washing in cold water and laying flat to dry. Avoid machine washing, high heat, and harsh detergents.

Band rides up

The band may be too loose. Try fastening the bra on a tighter hook setting or consider a smaller band size if available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This sports bra is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Adjust the shoulder straps for a snug yet comfortable fit. For a different look or enhanced movement, attach the J-hook to the corresponding loop on the back strap to convert it into a racerback style.

Compatibility: Designed for adult women seeking high-impact support. Available in various band and cup sizes (e.g., 32F, 34G, 40G) to accommodate different body types. The racerback conversion is compatible with most upper-body movements.

Care Instructions: This product is hand wash only. To maintain the bra's shape and support:

  1. Wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent.
  2. Do not bleach or tumble dry.
  3. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the material.
  4. Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight.
