Troubleshooting
Straps digging into shoulders
Check that the band is not too loose. If the band is too large, the weight of the breasts transfers to the straps; consider a tighter band size.
Underwire poking or digging
Ensure the bra is the correct cup size. If the cup is too small, the wire will be pushed against the ribs; try a larger cup size.
Mesh fabric snagging
Always use a protective laundry bag during machine washing and store separately from garments with hooks or zippers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Berlei B541 bra, always hook the closure before placing it in a garment wash bag to protect the delicate mesh from snagging. Hand washing in cold water with a gentle detergent is recommended to preserve the elasticity of the fabric and the integrity of the underwire. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can break down the elastane fibers, leading to a loss of support. For the best fit, ensure the underwire sits flat against your sternum without digging into your breast tissue; if the wire rides up, you may need to adjust the band size or the strap tension.
