Fitting Tips
Some common concerns if:
The bra center is uncomfortable
If the center of the bra pinches or does not lie flat againts your body, the cup size is too small.
The back of the bra is riding up
The back of the bra is too loose. Either adjust the closure to a tighter hook if possible, or try a smaller bra size
There is exaggerated bulging at the back of the bra
The back of the bra is too tight. Either adjust the closer to a looser hook if possible, or try a bigger bra size.
The underwire in the bra feels uncomfortable and digs into your underarm
This signals that the cup size is too small. Switch to a bigger cup size. The underwire of the bra should sit on the ribcage without digging in.
The cups of the bra cut into your breast and your breast is bulging out of the cup
The cup size is too small. Try a bigger cup size or a full cup bra that offers more coverage of the bust
The cups of the bra are wrinkled and loose or gape
The cup size is too large. Switch to a smaller cup size.
Care for your Bra
A bra should be either hand-washed or placed in a laundry bag when machine washed. A bra should never be placed in a tumble dryer or exposed to excessive heat as this distorts the shape of the underwire and deteriorates the fabric and elasticity of the straps. Thus, it should always be allowed to dry naturally in the shade.
