Troubleshooting
Bra feels uncomfortable or digs in
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check that the straps are adjusted properly and not too tight. If the underwire is uncomfortable, consider if this style is the best fit for your body shape.
Straps are slipping
Adjust the straps to be tighter. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly on your ribcage; a slipping band can cause straps to loosen.
Cups are not smoothing under clothing
Make sure the bra band is level and the cups are fully enclosing the breast tissue. Ensure you have selected the correct cup size; too small a cup can cause bulging.
Bra loses shape after washing
Follow the care instructions strictly: hand wash and air dry only. Avoid wringing or stretching the bra during washing.
