Troubleshooting
Straps are digging in or uncomfortable
Adjust the strap length using the adjusters. Ensure the bra band is sitting correctly on your ribcage, as an ill-fitting band can cause straps to bear too much weight.
Bra is not providing enough support
Check that the bra band is fastened on the loosest hook initially and that it is sitting level around your body. If it's new, it may need a few wears to mold to your shape. Ensure the cups are fully encompassing the breast tissue.
Band rides up in the back
The band may be too loose. Try fastening the bra on a tighter hook setting. Ensure the powermesh wings are pulled down smoothly against the skin.
Underwire is uncomfortable or poking
This could indicate an incorrect cup size or band size. Ensure the underwire channels are sitting flat against the ribcage, enclosing the breast tissue fully. If discomfort persists, consult sizing guides or a professional fitter.
