FAQs
What makes this bra 'smooth'?
The 'smooth' aspect comes from the opaque, seamless finish of the moulded cups and wings, designed to be invisible under clothing, and the overall comfortable, supportive fit.
How do I determine my correct size?
Measure your band size by wrapping a tape measure around your rib cage just under your bust. Measure your cup size by wrapping the tape around the fullest part of your bust. Consult Freya's sizing chart for accurate conversion.
Can I wear this bra for sports?
This bra is designed for everyday wear and general support, not high-impact sports. For athletic activities, a dedicated sports bra is recommended.
What is the benefit of the J-hook converter?
The J-hook allows you to easily convert the bra straps into a racerback style. This provides additional support and is useful for wearing with specific clothing styles like tank tops or dresses.
How often should I replace my bra?
Bras typically last between 6-12 months with regular wear and proper care, depending on usage and washing frequency. Signs it needs replacement include loss of elasticity, stretched straps, or worn fabric.
Are the cups padded?
Yes, the bra features moulded, padded balcony cups that provide shaping, support, and coverage.
Troubleshooting
Straps digging in
Adjust the straps to a comfortable tension. Ensure the bra band is fitting correctly, as a loose band can cause straps to bear too much weight.
Band riding up
The band may be too large. Try a smaller band size or ensure the bra is fastened on the tightest hooks initially.
Spillage or discomfort from cups
The cup size may be too small or the shape might not be suitable. Ensure your breast is fully enclosed within the cup and the underwire sits correctly against the body.
Visible lines under clothing
Ensure the wings and cups are lying flat against the body. The opaque nature of the material is designed to minimize this, but proper fit is key.
