Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Ensure the bra is the correct size and the straps are adjusted properly. If the issue persists, consider if the padding is sufficient for your needs.
Bra not providing enough support
Verify that the band is snug and level around your body. Ensure the cups are fully encompassing the breast tissue. Check if the underwire is sitting correctly.
Discomfort from underwire
Ensure the underwire channels are sitting flat against the body and not digging into breast tissue. This may indicate an incorrect size or fit.
Fabric pilling or damage after washing
Adhere strictly to the hand wash only and no tumble dry instructions. Use mild detergents and avoid excessive wringing.
