FAQs

What does 'minimiser bra' mean?

A minimiser bra is designed to reduce the visual appearance of bust volume by distributing breast tissue more evenly, creating a smoother, less prominent silhouette under clothing. It does not compress uncomfortably.

What is the 'jelly print technology'?

This refers to a special material application on the wings of the bra that helps to sculpt and smooth the underarm area, providing a more streamlined look.

Can I machine wash this bra?

No, it is strongly recommended to hand wash this bra. Machine washing, especially with heat or strong spin cycles, can damage the delicate materials and construction.

Why should I avoid tumble drying?

Tumble drying can cause significant damage due to heat. It can shrink the fabric, degrade the elastic, and potentially melt or break components like the straps and underwire casing.

Is this bra suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, the design with wide straps, a scooped back, and comfort wire is intended to provide support and comfort for all-day wear.

What does GRS-certified mean?

GRS stands for Global Recycled Standard. It certifies that the materials used are recycled and that the production process meets environmental and social criteria.

What is the difference between this and a regular bra?

This is a minimiser bra with specific features like jelly print technology for underarm smoothing and a scooped back. Regular bras come in various styles (t-shirt, push-up, etc.) and do not typically offer these minimiser or smoothing functions.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging in or slipping

Adjust the strap length using the provided adjusters. Ensure the bra band is sitting comfortably and not too tight.

Band riding up

The band may be too large. Try adjusting to a smaller band size if possible, or ensure the bra is fastened on the tightest hooks initially.

Underwire poking

This can occur if the bra is ill-fitting or the underwire casing is damaged. Ensure you have the correct cup size and consider replacing the bra if the casing is torn.

Minimiser effect not as expected

Ensure the bra is the correct size, particularly the cup size. The minimiser effect relies on proper fit to distribute the breast tissue correctly.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the quality and longevity of your Triumph Body MakeUp Illusion Bra:

  1. Hand Wash Only: Use cool water and a mild detergent. Gently wash the fabric and avoid harsh scrubbing.
  2. Do Not Tumble Dry: The heat from a tumble dryer can damage the elastic, straps, and rings, potentially causing them to break.
  3. Reshape and Dry Flat: After washing, gently reshape the bra and lay it flat to air dry, away from direct sunlight or heat.
  4. Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the material.
