Product Information

Full details

The Adella Athena Side Support Bra (40K) is designed for adult women seeking exceptional support and a comfortable, rounded shape for fuller figures. Its key benefit is the secure, uplift provided by its 4-part cup design and laminated bottom cups, while offering all-day comfort through wide, non-slip straps and deep powermesh wings. A potential consideration is that it is a non-padded, underwired style, which may not be preferred by everyone.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this bra padded?

No, the Adella Athena Side Support Bra is a non-padded bra. It offers support through its construction and underwire, not through padding.

What is the main material of the bra?

The main material is 100% Polyester. The lace is made of 88% Polyamide and 12% Elastane, and the wing mesh is also 88% Polyamide and 12% Elastane.

How should I clean this bra?

It is recommended to hand wash the bra in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Do not tumble dry; instead, lay flat to dry.

What does 'Side Support' mean in the product name?

'Side Support' refers to the bra's design, which includes features like reinforced side panels or cups that help to draw the breast tissue towards the center, providing a more projected and supported shape.

How many hooks does the bra have?

This bra fastens with 3 hooks across 3 columns.

Can I wear this bra for sports?

While the bra offers good support for daily activities, it is designed primarily for everyday wear and moderate support. For high-impact sports, a dedicated sports bra is recommended.

What is the benefit of the 4-part cup design?

The 4-part cup design allows for precise shaping and uplift, creating a rounded silhouette and providing excellent support, particularly beneficial for fuller busts.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging into shoulders

Loosen the adjustable straps. Ensure the bra band is sitting at the correct level on your back; if it's too high, the straps will bear too much weight. Check if the bra size is correct overall.

Bra band riding up

The band may be too loose. Try using the innermost hook for a tighter fit. If it still rides up, the band size might be incorrect, and you may need a smaller band size with a larger cup.

Breast tissue spilling out of cups

Ensure the cups are the correct size and that you have scooped all breast tissue into the cups, including from the sides and underarms. Adjust the straps for better lift and support. The cup size may be too small.

Underwire discomfort

Ensure the underwire channels are sitting correctly against your ribcage, not on breast tissue. Check that the bra is not too small in the cup or band, which can cause the underwire to dig in.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers excellent support and uplift for larger cup sizes.
  • Wide, non-slip straps enhance comfort and prevent digging.
  • Deep powermesh wings provide smoothing and all-day wearability.
  • Designed for a natural, rounded shape.
  • Elegant lace detailing adds a touch of sophistication.

Cons

  • Non-padded design, may not provide desired coverage for all.
  • Underwired construction might not suit those preferring wire-free.
  • Specific care instructions are required to maintain material integrity.
  • The 3-hook fastening may feel less secure for some compared to more hooks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This bra is designed for immediate wear. To achieve the best fit:

  1. Fasten the bra using the 3 hooks and 3 columns at the back. Ensure it is snug but comfortable.
  2. Adjust the fully adjustable straps over your shoulders. Tighten or loosen them to ensure the bra band sits level and the cups are fully supportive.
  3. Ensure all breast tissue is enclosed within the cups, lifting gently from the bottom and sides if necessary.

Compatibility:

This bra is designed for adult females with fuller figures, specifically in the 40K size. It is compatible with a wide range of clothing styles, offering a smooth profile under most garments due to its non-padded design and supportive construction.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the integrity and longevity of your Adella Athena bra:

  • Washing: Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water and reshape the bra while damp. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Storage: Store folded or hung to prevent stretching or distortion.
