FAQs

What makes this bra suitable for everyday wear?

Its combination of comfortable moulded padding, supportive underwiring, soft inner fabric, and a smooth finish under clothes makes it ideal for daily use.

How does the J-hook converter work?

The J-hook allows you to easily connect the two shoulder straps at the back, converting the bra into a racerback style. This enhances support and is useful for wearing with certain tops.

Can I machine wash this bra?

Hand washing with a mild detergent in cool water is strongly recommended to preserve the bra's shape, elasticity, and fabric integrity. Avoid machine washing and tumble drying.

What kind of shape does this bra provide?

The moulded balcony padded cups are designed to provide excellent coverage and create a natural, rounded shape with lift and support.

Is this bra suitable for larger busts?

Freya is known for its range of sizes, including options for larger busts. The underwiring and balcony cup design are intended to offer good support.

How do I know if I have the right size?

A properly fitting bra should have a band that is level and snug, cups that fully contain the breast without spilling or wrinkling, and straps that stay in place without digging in. Consult Freya's sizing guide for assistance.

Will this bra show under thin tops?

The 'Essentially Smooth' collection is designed with opaque, moulded cups and a smooth finish to minimize visibility under clothing, including many thin tops. However, extremely sheer or clingy fabrics might still show contours.

Troubleshooting

Straps keep slipping down.

Ensure straps are adjusted correctly. If slipping persists, check if the bra band is riding up (indicating a need for a tighter band size) or if the straps have lost elasticity (suggesting the bra may need replacement).

Bra feels uncomfortable or digs in.

Verify you have the correct band and cup size. The band should sit snugly but comfortably parallel to the floor. The cups should fully encompass the breast without gapping or spillage.

Visible lines under clothing.

Ensure the bra is the correct size and fit. The smooth, moulded design is intended to minimize lines; however, extremely thin or clingy fabrics might still show contours. Ensure the edges of the cups and bands lie flat against the skin.

Underwire is uncomfortable.

This bra features underwiring for support. If discomfort persists, it may indicate an improper fit or that an underwire style is not suitable for your comfort preference. Ensure the underwire channels are sitting flat against your ribcage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This bra is designed for immediate wear. Ensure you select the correct band and cup size for optimal fit and support. Adjust the shoulder straps as needed using the sliders for a comfortable, snug fit that doesn't dig in.

Compatibility:

  • Clothing: Ideal for t-shirts, blouses, fitted dresses, and casual tops due to its smooth, seamless design. The J-hook converter makes it compatible with racerback tops and certain low-back styles.
  • Sizing: Available in a range of band and cup sizes. Consult the Freya sizing chart for accurate measurement and selection.

Care:

  • Washing: Hand wash with a mild detergent in cool water is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight and heat.
  • Storage: Store folded or rolled to maintain the shape of the cups. Avoid placing heavy items on top that could flatten the padding.
