FAQs
What does OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification mean?
This certification ensures that the textile products have been tested for harmful substances and are therefore safe for human health. It is an independent label confirming the product meets strict environmental and safety standards.
How do I determine if I have the correct bra size?
A properly fitting bra should have the band sitting parallel to the floor and snug against your body without digging in. The cups should fully enclose the breast tissue without gaping or spilling over, and the straps should stay in place without slipping or causing discomfort.
Can I wear this bra for exercise?
While this bra is designed for 24-hour comfort and support, it features classic underwires which may not provide sufficient high-impact support for vigorous exercise. It is best suited for daily wear and low-impact activities.
How do I adjust the straps for maximum support?
Ensure the band is fitted correctly first, as it provides the majority of the support. Then, adjust the straps so they are snug but not digging into your shoulders, helping to lift and shape the bust without causing discomfort.
What is the purpose of the padded cups?
The padded cups provide a smooth, rounded shape to the bust, preventing nipple show-through and offering a seamless appearance under clothing. They also add a layer of comfort.
Can the underwire be removed?
The product description mentions 'classic underwires' and 'removable hoops'. The underwire structure is generally integral to the bra's support and is not designed to be removed. The 'removable hoops' phrasing might be a less common way to describe the supportive underwire system.
Troubleshooting
Straps dig into shoulders
Adjust the bra straps to a comfortable, less tight setting. Ensure the bra size is correct, as an ill-fitting size can cause strap discomfort.
Band feels too tight or loose
Try using a different hook setting on the fastening. If the band consistently feels uncomfortable, consider if this is the correct band size for your body.
Underwire pokes or feels uncomfortable
Ensure the underwire is correctly positioned within its channel. If the issue persists, the bra may not be the right fit for your shape, or the underwire may be damaged.
Bra loses shape after washing
Avoid harsh washing cycles and do not put the bra in the dryer. Hand washing and air drying are the best methods to preserve the bra's shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This bra requires no assembly. Its primary function is to be worn. Compatibility is with the wearer's body shape and size (specifically 36D). Care instructions are crucial for maintaining the bra's integrity and comfort:
- Washing: Please refer to the specific care instructions on the product label. Typically, hand washing or machine washing on a gentle cycle with cold water is recommended for bras with underwires and padding.
- Drying: Avoid tumble drying. It is best to air dry the bra, preferably by laying it flat or hanging it by the center gore, away from direct heat.
- Material: The fabric consists of 65% polyamide, 23% polyester, and 12% elastane. Follow care labels to prevent damage to these materials.
