FAQs

What makes this bra 'non-padded'?

The 'Non-Padded' designation means the cups are made of fabric and do not contain any foam or extra padding, offering a natural shape and feel.

What does 'underwired' mean?

Underwired bras have a thin, flexible wire sewn into the bottom of each cup. This wire provides support, lift, and shape to the bust.

How do I know if I'm wearing the right size?

A properly fitting bra should have the band sitting level and snug on your back, the cups should fully enclose your breasts without bulging or wrinkling, and the straps should stay in place without digging in.

Can I wear this bra with everyday t-shirts?

While the plunge design is versatile, the construction and seaming of this bra might be visible under very thin or tight-fitting t-shirts. It is best suited for lower-cut necklines.

What is the main benefit of the 'Lifestyle' collection?

The Lifestyle collection is known for its combination of comfort, support, and style, designed to be suitable for everyday wear as well as more active or social occasions.

How does the 'projection' feature benefit the wearer?

Projection refers to how the bra shapes the bust outwards rather than just upwards or inwards. This bra provides a forward and lifted shape, creating a desirable silhouette.

Is this bra suitable for very large busts?

Yes, this bra is specifically designed to offer excellent support and projection for larger cup sizes, going up to a J cup.

Troubleshooting

Bra feels uncomfortable or digs in

Ensure you have selected the correct band and cup size. The band should sit snugly but comfortably, and the cups should fully contain the breast without gaping or spilling over.

Straps are slipping

Adjust the strap length to be snug but not tight. If slippage persists, check that the bra is the correct size, as an incorrect band size can cause straps to slide.

Underwire is poking or uncomfortable

This can sometimes indicate an incorrect cup size (too small) or that the bra has been damaged during washing or wear. Ensure you are following care instructions and consider trying a different size if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: As a bra, there is no complex setup required. Simply put it on as you would any other undergarment.

Compatibility: This bra is designed for adult women. Its compatibility relates to clothing choices; the plunge style works well with low-cut tops, dresses, and other garments where a traditional bra might show.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of your Lifestyle Plunge Bra, it is recommended to hand wash it in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing, and then reshape the bra before air drying it flat, away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid tumble drying, as this can damage the fabric and underwire.
