Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this bra padded?

No, the Adella Athena Side Support Bra is non-padded. It features a 4-part cup construction for shaping and support.

What is the purpose of the laminated bottom cups?

The laminated bottom cups are designed to provide uplift and create a gentle, rounded projection for a flattering shape.

How do I adjust the fit?

You can adjust the fit using the fully adjustable straps and the 3-hook, 3-column back closure.

Can I wear this bra for exercise?

This bra is designed for everyday support. For high-impact activities, a specialized sports bra is recommended.

What materials is the bra made from?

The main fabric is 100% Polyester, with lace made of 88% Polyamide and 12% Elastane. The lining is 100% Polyamide, and the wing mesh is 88% Polyamide and 12% Elastane.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Ensure the band sits level on your back, the underwire encircles your breasts completely without digging in, and the straps are comfortably snug. The cups should fully contain the breast tissue without spillage or gapping.

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

Side support refers to the bra's construction, which includes features like wider wings and potentially specific paneling to help center and provide support from the sides of the bust.

Troubleshooting

Straps digging into shoulders

Loosen the adjustable straps. Ensure the band is sitting level and providing adequate support, as the band should bear most of the weight, not the straps.

Band riding up

Check if the band size is correct. The band should be snug. Try fastening the bra on a tighter hook setting if available, or consider a smaller band size.

Underwire discomfort

Ensure the underwire channels are positioned correctly under the breast tissue and not on top of it. Verify the bra size is correct, as an incorrect size can cause the underwire to misalign.

Lack of support

Ensure the bra is fastened correctly and the straps are adjusted properly. Check that the cups are fully encasing the breast tissue and that the band is sitting level.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This bra requires no assembly. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and support. Adjust the straps and the hook-and-eye closure for a secure, comfortable feel. The straps should be adjusted so that they are snug but not digging into the shoulders, and the band should sit comfortably level around your torso.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Hand wash recommended with a mild detergent in cool water.
  • Machine Washing: If machine washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water and place the bra in a mesh laundry bag to protect the fabric and underwire.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry, reshaping the cups as needed. Avoid direct sunlight or heat.
